Surprise Marybeth, Happy Birthday!
Surprise...Thanks to Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea and Cathy from Empty Nest Crafter for organizing this belated birthday blog hope for sweet Marybeth! As you can see from the long list of party goers, Marybeth is well loved by everyone. I decided to try out a new technique on my card...PTI just released a new Burlap Impression Plate selling for $16.00 and thanks to Kelly Griglione from Notable Nest, she used a piece of burlap fabric and that cost me a whopping $.85 cents! I even had plenty to share, such a deal, right? It worked like a charm too. Be sure to head over to the party girls blog, Marybeth's time for Paper to wish her a happy birthday. Again, Happy Birthday Marybeth...hope. your day was as special as you are! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by to peek at my blog....have a fabulous week!
I told you it was a big party...if you get the time, be sure to stop by and see all the wonderful birthday cards that have been made to celebrate Marybeths' special day.

ReplyDeleteSounds like you gals had such fun at your SAF get together. Sorry I haven't been on making comments since before SAF and then we were having computer problems so wasn't able to then. Pretty birthday card for Marybeth and beautiful yummy looking cake. I am leaving Colleen's today after two weeks down here. It is sad to go, but I am ready to be home and I am sure her husband is ready for me to go. lol
