Bella Birthday Bash Blog Hop

Welcome to the Bella Birthday Bash Blog Hop sponsored by Stamping Bella!

If you've just happened upon my blog, you can CLICK HERE to start from the beginning at Bloggabella.

The sketch I used for this card came from Mojo Monday, it's Mojo Monday
115. And I followed The Pink Elephant's challenge this week which is
Challenge# 43 to Color Me Wonderful. This is my first time making an easel
card, it wasn't as daunting a challenge as I thought it would be.

The sentiment stamps that I used come from The Angel Company. If you have
any questions about them please feel free to contact me at
cr8iveme_at_gmail.com
