Birthday Bash Blog Photo:

Feel free to add the birthday bash photo (at the top of my post) to the sidebar on your blog to let everyone know you’re coming to the Bella Birthday Bash! Just save the photo to your computer first, then upload it to your sidebar. Please link the photo back to THE BIRTHDAY BASH THREAD on Splitcoast for all the Birthday details.

I couldn't leave you without a card, right? And you certainly deserve it if you stuck with me through all that information!!! :)

I inked up one of my new Lollipop images for this sample, Ethan Lollipop. I think he's so cool with his skate board!!! With four nephews I'm SO happy to have little boy images!!!

I used last week's sketch challenge on Splitcoast, SC255. The fun patterned papers are from October Afternoon's Report Card collection. The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Bella's Bestest Cream Paper and coloured with copics. I cut him out with Labels 8 Nestabilities and ran the Intense Kiwi pane through my Diamonds in the Rough Cuttlebug folder. I used a star punch on the star patterned paper then topped it off with a ghost star and a button.

So go...run over to the Bella Birthday Bash Blog Hop thread and sign up for the hop, then get stamping and create your card/project for the Birthday Bash Contest!!! There are huge prizes at stake so get stamping!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
