Happy Birthday Christina



Happy Birthday Christina

Surprise



A few of us have gotten together to celebrate Christina's birthday.  I have been fortunate to get to know Christina through our 12 Kits group.  Before that, I was a stalker of her blog. Christina is one of the most talented crafters I know.  I cannot say how many of her cards I have pinned and cased.  I just love her style.  

Here's to a very happy birthday, Christina.

Christina's blog is named SeaGlass Papercrafts, so I thought she might like a seaside birthday party.

I used this week's CAS(E) this Sketch to make my card for Christina's birthday.  




I took a hint from Kelly G., and put some patterned paper on the inside of the card.




And, some more patterned paper lining the envelope.






I am also linking this up at the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge of Keep it Clean and Simple. 



And now, please hop around to the other birthday blog hop participants.





Thanks for Visiting

  2. What a lovely surprise to wake up to, Joyce! Thank you so much for helping me celebrate my birthday, and for the beautiful card. You've chosen my favorite blues and greens, and I am just smitten with the angled panels right now so I love your design! And a gorgeous cake for breakfast, how much better can it get? :) Thanks again for thinking of me!

  12. Great minds, Joyce! I've started my hop here and wonder if any of the others also used the CTS for their cards. I absolutely love these papers and colors! Very vibrant! Thank you, again, for taking care of our party planning and doing such a fantastic job of it! Can we count on you to organize your own party, too?! LOL (I'm only half-joking since you really are the best at it!!) Hugs, Darnell

  17. OMG! Your patterned paper looks so FAB on the inside!! Way to demonstrate that you don't have to use a lot of it to create a big impact. So smart to have it on an angle to carry the theme from your front. Love it, Joyce!
