It's a Birthday Blog hop!!!

Hey everyone,
Welcome to the Birthday blog hop for tanya. we are finally able to shout "Surprise!" Happy Birthday Tanya! :) Tanya is such a sweet gal and she is so giving and she loves to help people get their craft on! :) and yep we do call her an enabler too for she does when it comes to crafting paper and um...well among other things...hehe...but she does it with love and so it is her turn to be loved! and she is greatly!
The only requirement was to have it birthday related and mail the surprise to her and we wanted you to join the Par-ty!!!! :)

Well let's get the party started if you came from lovebug creations 3 blog then you are in the right place and if you happened upon the blog please start at Zeni's Blog because we don't want you to miss a thing and there are some great prizes to give away! :) Be sure to start at the beginning of the hop and go through to the end, for chances to win great prizes.

I made a sparkly card for Tanya, cause she adds sparkle to my life with her fun challenges and upbeat attitude. I used starburst sprays from Lindy's stamp gang in 2 shades of pink on the paper doily and then glittered the silk flowers for more sparkle. I added a cute owl on the card and another one inside that I made into a magnet.

the next stop in the hop is Christina's blog, and I am sorry but blogger is giving me a hard time and won't link it for me, so her blog addy is http://sameoldscrap.blogspot.com/
If you would like a direct link go to Zeni's blog (linked above) her link to Chritina's blog is working fine. Sorry for the inconvenience :(


Don't forget the bloggy love and make sure you give us the email addy too so we know where to send it to.

have fun hopping and Happy Birthday, Tanya!!!

I altered an old window

I added rusty tin fence with small wreath, a snowman, star and greenery swag with a few prim berry sprigs. i then added a strand of mini clear Christmas lights to it.

you've got a friend in me

I made this CArd for the Paperhoarders group. The DT was asked to MAke a project about something you are thankful for. This was a hard theme for me right now as i am losing a close relitive right now, he is passing from pancreatic cancer and I am deeply saddened by this. so I am not feeling all that grateful right now. Then I started to think about it and realized the thing that never fails to lift me up and make me feel better is my close friendships. So even in this time of worry and sorrow, I have my friendships to be thankful for. teh stamps are stampin up! and I used shimmer spray from LIndy's stamp gang on the slik flowers and the flourishy thing.
