Angela's 30th B-Day Blog Hop

Welcome to Angela's 30th B-Day Blog Hop.  If you hopped over from Jennyfer you're on the right path, but if you just stumbled upon this and want to begin at the start spot of our blog hostess and birthday gal, then hop over to Angela
Happy Birthday, Angela, - a sweet cyber friend!  I spy blog candy along the way too!!

The Sizzix Big Kick came out to make one of my all time favorites for this hop - the paper doll complete with Sizzix faces.  Since Angela's birthday is a wintry time, I chose some winter clothing for the dolls - and I also dusted off my crimper to give a bit of dimension to the clothing and used Glossy Accent for each doll's hair.  Each sweet friend was topped off with a bow made from our LoveBug Rumple Ribbon. Both triple-stamped doll cards show different shades of red. The other items I used are all SU products - cardstock, stamps, and ink. The center panel is Kraft paper.  The glitz is Stickles - love those!   Hope your birthday is super, Angela!!!

I am entering these dolls in the All That Stickles Challenge - using Christmas Red Stickles

Remember no matter how you piece your paper and rumple your ribbon, have fun with it........cyberbirthday blessings.........Mama LoveBug.

Mama LoveBug has two projects to share today – one is a graduation pocket card using, of course, pink as the main color.  The paper doll is a Sizzix die cut and Sizzix face stamp as are the accessories – the cap, gown, and diploma.  The sentiments are from Pink By Design - "The tassel is worth the hassle"(on insert) and "hats off" which were adhered to two butterflies (SU punch) plus a longer sentiment using pink chintz paper (both on base of card).  For added definition I used pink stickles and pink pearls to add PINK MAGIC.............

My second project is a birthday card for one of my daughters – the image is from La-La Land, which I colored with pencils, markers, and gel pens.  The sentiment was again from Pink By Design. I started out with some very sweet SU double-sided paper to fashion the pocket card.

The next two pictures are the pocket card base and insert of the Birthday Blessings - the sentiment on the bow has reference to "calling" which goes splendidly with the La-La Land Marci image. For the base I also made a patchwork pink bow using a Sizzix die and several squares of pink SU paper.

And here's the finished pocket card.

Hope you’re having a great pink day and thanks for hopping by.  Leave me a comment and become a new follower if you've a mind............Remember, no matter how you piece your paper, have fun with it..........cyberhugs...........Mama LoveBug.
