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.

Joyce I love your sea-themed party! What a wonderful idea! And your card and matching envelope are so lovely all in the colors of the sea too! Such a wonderful way to kick off Christina's birthday hop! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!

ReplyDeleteI love your choice of papers, and the fact that you carried them over to the inside.
ReplyDeleteGreat 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
ReplyDeleteOh Joyce, I LOVE this. Perfect for Christina - the colors are so sea glass-y. Wonderful take on the sketch. Even though I go in and out of this blog world, I am always so thrilled to check on my favs. Your crafting has really evolved - I love eyeing your creations. Happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card for Christina Ms. Party Planner Extraordinaire! I know she will love all the lovely patterns inside and out!
ReplyDeleteOf course Christina would love a sea side party and who better to throw that than you Joyce? I love the cake images and of course the clean card you made - Love the graphic lines and how the angles draw the eye!
ReplyDeleteBig thanks for planning another great party! Love your card and the colors are perfect!
ReplyDeleteOMG! 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!
