Happy Birthday!



Happy Birthday to a dear friend!


 You share your birthday with
my sister Maryjo! So I wont forget.


This little blog hop was put together by Joyce,  for our sweet friend Cathy Weber . When I first started blogging I had no idea what is was to… follow... anyone or even comment. For some reason Cathy decided to follow me, Cathy was always there to encourage me and leave sweet comments. I am not even sure I left comments at that time, it was all so new to me. Cathy still would stop by and comment on my blog. Cathy is so encouraging, and she has some of the cutest cards in blogland! 
I miss you not being in the 12 Kits of Christmas 
Cathy, but I am very happy to be on the Serendipity
Design Team with you. 
I hope you have a wonderful Birthday and its on Saturday !

Stop by to see the rest of your blog party!

Stamps: Serendipity Happy Birthday and Papertrey Ink Fancy Folk Art
My card was inspired by a card Nichole from Papertrey Ink made using a new stamp.

  4. What a beautiful card Marybeth...I was very surprised this morning, did not expect a blog hop this year after the fun one from last year. Your card is so cute...why do I never buy sets until after I see my crafty friends use them? I love this set and the colors you chose are ones that I would have used myself! I appreciate you so much...so happy to have met you! Thank You!

  8. Marybeth this is so beautiful! I wish that I had been as thoughtful as you to get Cathy a cake and flowers! our individual Fancy Folk Art flowers are so perfectly stamped. Isn't it amazing that there were so many of us that used the set and yet all so different. A wonderful card for Cathy!

  9. I love that we used the same set, and even the same colors, but our cards are so totally different. You are way ahead of me in thinking up beautiful and clever ways to use this set, and so I am pinning this idea, too, and will get to it soon. I love how you stamped some on the front, and have some pieces as die cuts. Very ingenious. So glad you could come to Cathy's party.

  16. Marybeth I LOVE this card!! I actually pinned it this morning on Pinterest! I just got this set out yesterday to use for the first time and was trying to find some inspiration. Well, you have definitely inspired me! This is really lovely and a different way to use this set than all the other cards I've seen.
