Happy Birthday TPE & Fun with Fun 'n Flair

Hi everyone!  Happy Friday.  I am so glad that you're hopping with us today for The Pink Elephant's 4th Birthday.


Now, before I get to my card, let me remind you as I'm sure you've seen in all the previous blog posts during this hop....

There are some fabulous prizes to be won, so you need to make sure that you comment on each stop along the hop.  You have until Sunday, February 17th at midnight to make your rounds and leave your love.  Winners will be announced on Tuesday.

Here's the order of the hop, just in case your stopping by to visit me, not knowing there is a hop....

Stacey Schafer
Jessica Willison
Joni Wilson
Claudia Harvey
Kadie Ensley
Sherry Echblad
Sussie Moore
Melissa Craig
Karina Minteer
Lori Boyd
Sheri Gilson


And, of course, you can always go to The Pink Elephant Blog to see what the prizes are!

My card is also for this week's challenge for Fun 'n Flair.  We're making shaped cards.


The sentiment is from It's All About Love set, it does actually say Hugs and Kisses & Valentine Wishes.  I cut the valentine part off.  I just love the handwritten parts of the sentiments in this set!  Then on the inside I did a handwritten message that says "Best Birthday Wishes" - I didn't picture it because, well, because my handwriting bites.

Enjoy the hop... play along with us at Fun 'n Flair and most of all I hope you have a great Friday!  Your next stop on the hop is Karina Minteer.
