Good morning! It's time for From the Heart Stamps December Blog Hop; our theme this month is "Birthdays"...hop along for some fabulous inspiration from the DT!
As you hop along, please leave a comment on each entry. One random commentor will be selected on each blog to win an image of choice from Faith's store.
If you have arrived from the From the Heart Stamps blog you are in the right place, if not why don't you start at the From the Heart Stamps blog so that you don't miss anything.
We were challenged to create a birthday card related to our birth month...we would like each of you to guess which month that is! After you've completed the hop, email your answers to Faith for the chance to win a $15 FTHS voucher. We would also like to challenge you to create a birthday card and link up here for the chance to win a $10 FTHS voucher...you have until January 3, 2016 to enter!
For my card today I have used the adorable "Five Party Birds". The image is colored with pencils and I've layered the card base with white vellum and a white embossed panel (sheet music for the birds to sing "Happy Birthday"); I've embellished simply with a vellum strip and twill.
Ink: Printer
Paper: Gina K. Designs Pure Luxury CS, PTI Vellum
Embellie: White Twill
Extras: Prismas/Crayolas/Goo Gone, Sizzix "Sheet Music" Embossing Folder, Foam Tape
By looking at my card, can you guess what month I was born in? I will give you a few hints:
1. I live in Iowa, so by the time my birthday rolls around I am praying for warm weather and the sound of the birds.
2. I have had birthdays where the weather is warm, or birthdays where the ground was covered with snow.
3. My birth month has 5 letters in it.
Thanks for hopping along with us today; the hop will end on Monday, December 7th at 6:00 a.m. Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps blog on Wednesday, December 9th.
