Birthday Bash Blog Hop 5/23

Welcome to the very first Birthday Bash Blog Hop. We are here to celebrate not only Lisa's birthday but her daughter Becky’s birthday, who turns 20 today.

If you have started on this blog you’re on the right track. If not, and just lucked up on this blog, you can go back to the beginning HERE and hop along with us.

We're so excited to being doing this hop, and we have a fabulous line up with some very talented folks. There will be lots of fun projects, along with some great blog candy, and an AMAZING grand prize for this hop.

This hop runs all day on May 23, so you have plenty of time to make it all the way through the hop. Check out each blog and see what BLOG CANDY you could possibly WIN!! 

Here's my card:

I love Hello Kitty & this paper is just adorable!  Cut from Hello Kitty Cartridge, paper is cloud 9, on sale at Joann's.  There is some bling on her bow...

Ok, so I have some news for you...
