HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY MEAKIN!

Happy 1st birthday Meakin!!

I thought I would share with you all what a 1st birthday card might look like.  I could have gone really babyish but I'm thinkin monkeys are still a good image to use.  I can see my little nephew being a little monkey himself.  LOL!!  I put white flower soft on the pom pom and fun flock on his party hat.  I've also put glitter on the flame and I was lovin the cork on the sides.  

Hope you have a great day little one!!

Stamps: Dustin Pike "bdaymonkey" 
Embellishments: SU chipboard HB and Stickles glitter 
Punches: MS border punch
Ink: Colored with Copics

Creative Accents ABC Fall Blog Hop

If you have come by way of the oh so talented Sarah, you`re on the right track!!

WOO HOO!!  Time for another Creative Accents blog hop and CHALLENGE!  I thought this one was relatively easy cuz I took:

A for ALPHABET to be my sentiment,

B for BLING, well that was pretty obvious on my card and

C for CHIPBOARD was my Maya Road chipboard snowflakes.  Luv these!!  

I 3d the sentiment, hug icicles off of it and even hung my chipboard snowflakes off it.  The picture is somewhat dark but that`s because it was the best way to show my 3d.  I hope anyway.  LOL!!

So, for joining the blog hop a random winner will be draw from those who

    1- comment on posts along the hop and
    2- are a follower of Creative Accents' blog

HAPPY FRIDAY PEOPLES!!  Wooooooooo!!!!!!!

If you have arrived from Carla's blog you are on the right path. 

Today's blog hop is a little different as it isn't about new images or prizes but all about one very special person and friend "TARA"!!!  This fun gal group got together to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!  One of her favorite, and I really mean FAVORITE things is coffee!  COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE!!  I think one of MY favorite things about this group of people (including the birthday girl) is that we are not only blogging and scramping friends but we all know each other IN REAL LIFE!!  How lucky are we? 

So Tara I hope you have a super fabulous day today and spend the day well ... mostly the way you want it.  Treat yourself to an extra coffee cuz you are so deserving!!  Oh and in case you are wondering....yes, this one IS in the mail making it's way to you!!  BIG BIRTHDAY HUGS!

I also wish I could be there to give you this birthday cake.  Being that you are a super fan of coffee what a better one to send your way then this?

I hope you have enjoyed what you've seen so far and now just a few more to finish this blog hop off.  SO, on to your next talented crafter, my wonderful friend Tanya!!
