And today the CMC Challenge DT has a fun Birthday Themed Blog Hop to kick off all the fun! 

Make sure to hop along and leave a comment, two lucky commenters (picked at random) will each win a $20 Gift Certificate to a crafty online store!!  So have fun and party, party, party!!

You should have arrived here from Suzy Q's blog but if not, and you want to hop along, then head back to Steph's Blog where all the fun begins.



Ok, so I am not a CAS gal but lately I've been dabbling and it's not as nerve wrecking as I thought it was. CAS just doesn't come naturally to me - I LOVE loadza layers and bling and flowers and ribbon and lace.. and ... and.. you understand, right?! ;) I initially assembled this card without the doily but I quite like doilies so in it went! 




I coloured up the Magnolia gift image with my copics, trimmed it out and mounted it onto 3D foam dots. The sweet sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Compact Sentiments.

Next and final stop on your hop is Dana's blog.

Happy Hopping!!

Sandie
