KinderStampO's 34 Birthday Balloons and Counting Blog Hop

You should have arrived from Mariam's blog and I know you enjoyed her wonderful projects.  If you just happened upon my blog, you might want to start back at the beginning at KinderStampO's blog so you don't miss anything.  I made a birthday card using Graphic 45's Under the Boardwalk collection.  I love Graphic 45 papers and this girl sipping a milkshake is just too much fun.  I used a wonderful HUGE cupcake stamp by Unity that I received in a grab bag, but is part of the Sweet Yummy Cupcake set.  I used my Zig marker to stamp the "go ahead" from a stamp that was part of the September, 2009 kit of the month "Go Ahead Wish".  I wanted to use the script word "wish" with the candle at the end, which I couldn't find on their website--I think it must not be available any longer.  The scalloped red circle is paper from Cosmo Cricket's "Mr. Campy" collection and I used my Marvy giga-punch to punch the circle and the white dots were made using my Signo white pen--LOVE it!.  The cupcake was stamped using Stampin Up's "Taken with Teal" ink on Bazzill cardstock.  I used a glitter pen to color the squiggles on the cupcake base.  The ribbon is from BoBunny and the colors just matched perfectly to the Graphic 45 paper. I finished the card off with some strips of paper from Graphic 45's paper strip page.  That is something they have with every collection - a set of paper strips to use as accents.

 Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my card.  From here you go to Martha's blog.  Be sure you leave a comment for a chance to win some blog candy from my blog candy stash.  I will post the winner on Monday.
