Happy Birthday Cathy - Blog Hop

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!
