Hi friends! I'm popping in real quick to send you hopping along to wish our sweet, JUG-Head, Elise a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are more than welcome to play along, make a card for Elise and link it up to the Linky widget below - I'm sure she would be delighted! My card layout was inspired by the MTME Pretty Patterns sketch (MTMEPPS04).
I decided to make a pretty, burnt edge flower for our lovely Elise :] I also added some heartfelt, hand stitching to Elise's card...hopefully is accentuates the paper (Cheerful Chirps) how I wanted it to! I used one of my new cut files, Occasional Label for my top, yellow panel, adorned the bloom with a pearl brad and some prima leaves, added my sentiments (Birthday is embossed in white), and tied it off with some pretty, satin ribbon! Girly card for my dear friend :]
♥ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET ELISE ♥
Hope it's half as amazing as you are, my friend!
Okay, now hop along to the next crafter in the lineup and don't forget to end at Elise's blog to pass along some fun birthday wishes!

THE kindness, generosity of YOUR TIME and amazing talent... {Eeeeeeek!} I'm BURNT like the edges of that drop-dead GORGEOUS flower - I'm just SMOKIN' from the thoughtfulness of all-o-you'ds ...

Do I feel LUCKY!?! YOU BET I DO! I have the greatest friends in the blog-o-sphere and BEYOND!
