SURPRISEEEEE ! ! ! ! ! !

Hi, my friends, it's time to party because we need to wish a 

Happy Birthday to Through the Purple Haze!!!

Yes, we are 1 year old !!!

Time has really flown by, but as they say "Time flies when you're having fun" and that's what we here at Through the Purple Haze do, have fun!!!  A great group of ladies from all corners of the world having a super good time together.  

Here is my Birthday card to celebrate!

I decided to make a multi-fold card and I think I did accomplish that part.  lol

I used the paper pack Simple Stories, "Vintage Bliss" and used a few different design papers for the mats and I put my image on Recollection cardstock.

I used the Spellbinder's Large Oval Scalloped Die to mat my image.

The Birthday Cake is from a Close to My Heart Stamp Set, "Piece of Cake" and I popped it up, but it really doesn't show in the photo.

I colored my image from Simply Betty " Partying Lola"  with my Copic Markers and I think she was just perfect for this challenge.

The sentiment Happy Birthday is a Close to My Heart Stamp Pack, "Happy Birthday".

The small sentiments were stamped with Just Rite Mini Stamps and cut with a Stampin' Up Punch.

So hop on over to Simply Betty's and get your image to join in the fun here!!  There are some great images for all occasions, check the shop out!!  A big Thank You to our very generous Sponsor!!
