Happy Birthday to Me Blog Hop


Welcome to Robin Lane's Happy Birthday to Me blog hop!  You should have arrived from Lissa Marie's blog: www.somanycrafts.com.   
If you have arrived here from somewhere else start with Robin's blog at http://create-a-latte.blogspot.com.  Happy Birthday to Robin and my niece Hana who is 15!
I wanted to participate in the hop because yesterday was my birthday and today is my niece's birthday!  So many family birthday's in December.  If you follow my blog you have seen my mother's and sister's birthday cards and my sister has two daughters with December birthdays plus myself makes 5!  Whew not easy on the wallet for our family this month!  Good thing I like to make gifts and watch soon and you will see what I made for my wonderful nieces.  For today, I made some birthday cards with The Paper Loft Everyday Life collection.  I used the Close to My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge with matching stamps from Casual Expressions.  I used Stampin Up Bayou Blue ribbon and ink.  The red is from Colorbox Terracotta.



The bicycle paper is "like riding a bike".  I also used the Paper Loft solid colors:  "believe in miracles" (red) and "sky's the limit" (blue) to cut the Cricut shapes.



The striped paper is "no excuses", the yellow is "forward progress", the red is "live your dream".  



SU Bayou Blue cardstock and ink with a paper leaf tucked in.  The yellow paper is the reverse of "believe in miracles".
