This is post 1 of 2 for today...click HERE for my Fusion post.


Hello!

This is a special birthday post/hop for the wonderful

Karen Baker

You should have arrived here from the oh-so-spectacular Jen Shears' blog.

If not, you'll want to start where all the fun begins, the May Arts blog!  

The Ribbon Lady will be giving out 2 spools to comment on the hop and 2 spools to go to karen's blog and wish her a happy birthday.  

This one is for you Karen:


There's something about that bird that reminds me of you...I knew that I needed to have it as part of my card design.


Isn't the birdie perfect on the May Arts Burlap?

We are all using the 

Artful Delight sketch


and we're rockin' the May Arts!

I used the May Arts 2.5 Burlap/Wired Ribbon!!

Karen I wish you thee best birthday year ever!  You deserve all the happiness in the world.

♥♥♥

Up next is the oh-so-lovely Lynn Mangan!

Have fun hopping and remember to pop over to Karen's blog to wish her a happy birthday!!!!

P.S.  I've added to my For Sale page!

Amy, what a grand card! I love the bird, birds are my most favorite thing ever to craft with. Thank you so much for the birthday wishes and kind words and putting a hop together in my honor. Things have been super, super crazy (not in a good way) so I haven't been by to see your most fabulous creations, and I think I need to take the time to catch up...
