Neat & Tangled 3rd Birthday Blog Hop

August 10, 2015

Good morning everyone! I’m so glad to be joining the big Neat & Tangled 3rd Birthday blog hop! When Danielle asked me, I was still in the middle of my wedding preparations but I couldn’t say no to one who brought me into my first DT 3 years ago!

You have arrived from the talented Lisa Spangler. If you’re looking for more information about the blog hop, you can go back to Neat & Tangled each day to see who will be joining this big party.

For my birthday card to Neat & Tangled (and Danielle!), I used the die Seeing Stars and the new stamp set Happiest Birthday.

N&T - 3rd Birthday - 1

I die cut the stars from white cardstock and stitched it onto my card base that was already blended with blue ink. I then adhered the funny little bear onto the card front with foam tape. I love how silly this bear looks!

N&T - 3rd Birthday - 2

And of course we’ve got prizes up for grabs!  Comment along each blog along the hop for all week longs for a chance to win an awesome prize!

Prizes:(1) $100 gift certificate to the Neat and Tangled shop; (2) $50 gift certificate to the Neat and Tangled shop. Winners will be chosen from comments all along the hop all week long.
