Happy Birthday Stephanie!

Hi! If you are joining me for Stephanie's surprise birthday blog hop from Carina Lindholm's blog, you're on the right track! Welcome! And for those that are just joining the party, you will want to begin at the Bella Blvd. blog so you can start at the beginning and not miss a thing!

I just recently started working with Stephanie at Bella Blvd. and I've got to tell you that she's a real doll and very generous person so we all wanted to do something extra special for her birthday!

I made this card for Stephanie using her adorable Lovey collection and my favorite Card Sentiments Miniatures.

It's always fun to work with Stephanie's products because of the cheerful colors and patterns that coordinate so beautifully!

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 chosen blogs, and announce them on Friday!

I don't know about you, but I'm excited! I can't wait to see all the beautiful handmade cards everyone has created for Stephanie! Your next stop along this surprise birthday hop is with Stacey Michaud.

Thanks for joining the party and good luck in the drawings!

Kathy :)
