Happy Birthday Joyce!

Surprise!!!!

Today's post is all about celebrating Joyce's birthday Joyce's blog is Cards-by-the-Sea) and that means it is time for a birthday blog hop with all of her blogging friends. 
But first, here are a few things about Joyce that you may or may not know.....

Joyce is an incredible personal shopper (the best in the business)

Joyce gave up sugar, it has been weeks since her last piece of chocolate, one of her favorite things to eat.

Joyce loves owls too...I found lots of pictures but this was the cutest!

Joyce spins too, this is where she gets lots of her inspiration for her cards.

 
Joyce's favorite lunch is a turkey sandwich (she eats one every day for lunch).

Joyce love tea (only Peet's). 


Happy Birthday Joyce! 
This was so much fun to make and I knew it had to have chocolate in it in some way. I remember when Foodie Fun was released some time back that there was a card made to look a chocolate bar. It was just the perfect for you! It took me a few tries until I got my chocolate bar and wrapper just right.  I wish you a wonderful day celebrating with your family!

Here are the rest of the party animals...be sure to check out all the festivities on their blog, just click on their name for the link. And don't forget the birthday girl too!

Surprise!!!! 
Happy Birthday Cathy


I am not sure if you are a chocolate lover or not but this cake was so beautiful I had to use it. If we lived closer I would love to make one for you.

Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea was so sweet to organize this birthday blog hop for Cathy from Empty Nest Crafter. If you do not know who Cathy is you have to check out her blog, she is one crafty lady! Her work is simply amazing. I had the pleasure of actually meeting Cathy last July while visiting Joyce for Stamp-A-Faire, it is a real treat to get to meet some of your cyber and blog friends.  At the end of this post is a list of birthday blog hoppers, so be sure to check out all of the wonderful cards that have been created in celebration of Cathy's special day. 

I used one of my new stamps for Cathy's birthday card, it is from Clearly Besotted Stamps and I even CAS'd one of Stephanie's cards. Her card is why I wanted this set and it goes so well with patterned paper. 


Join in Cathy's party and be sure stop by her blog to wish her Happy Birthday!

Happy Birhtday Jeanne Blog Hop!


Happy Birthday Jeanne...wishing you a wonderful day today!




Unfortunately I did not a get card made to help celebrate...I have a bug that has kicked my butt for going on 3 weeks and when Cathy Weber asked if I would like a play along I was sure I would have kicked this thing.  I still wanted to play along and wish Jeanne a happy birthday.  Jeanne has to be one of the most talent paper craft ladies on the planet! You can always spot one of her cards by her incredible use of ribbon, she really has a gift! Be sure to head over to Jeanne's blog, A Kept Life and take a peek at all of the wonderfulness she posts!
Be sure to head over and check out all of the beautiful cards that have been made to celebrate Jeanne's special day.
