It’s A Surprise Blog Hop

Pin It

Today is Mabelle’s birthday so the Whimsy & Stars Studio DT decided to have a surprise blog hop to send her lots of birthday wishes.

I made this birthday card using the adorable St. Patty’s Day Teddy image that Mabelle gave away this past weekend on the Whimsy & Stars Studio Facebook and Crafter’s Digital Art Center pages. (If you haven’t joined, you might want to so that you do not miss out on any future freebies.) If you missed out on the freebie, he is now available for purchase in the store.

Gorgeous card, Cheryl. Love the colours and all the details, and that image is really cute. I always admire people who decorate the inside as well as the outside. I'm always happy if I get the outside done in time for a birthday card.
