"For those that are just joining me, you will want to go to the Bella Blvd blog by {clicking here}, so you can start at the beginning of the blog hop. You don't want to miss anything.". There will be lots of special birthday wishes for Stephanie, and card inspiration along the way.

Here is the card I designed for her using her designs, of course!
Birthdays are all about celebrating, laughter, and simply a happy time! I wanted to create a card full of color, and lots of layers! To add softeness to the card,I used my favorite textures: vellum & a simple white doily.
Even thought it's Stephanie's birthday, we have some gifts for a few of you lucky readers as well! We know how generous and giving Stephanie is, and we know she would never have a fun blog hop, without a few giveaways up for grabs too. So we got permission from Robin, who works alongside Stephanie in the office, to pick TEN lucky winners, who will each receive a Bella Blvd collection. All you need to do to be entered in the random drawings, is to leave Stephanie your birthday wishes in the comment section. You have lots of opportunities to up your chances, since you can leave a comment on each blog you visit, as you go through the blog hop. There are 26 blogs, plus the Bella Blvd blog, for a total of 27 chances to get your name in the pot. We will randomly choose winners, from 10 randomly choosen blogs, and announce them on Friday! Good luck to all of you!
For the next stop on the blog hop, you are going to go visit: Brook Stewart! Enjoy the Birthday Blog hop, and thank you for helping us celebrate Stephanie's Birthday!
Now, Stephanie enjoy your special day, and thank YOU for having me a part of your design team!
