Happy Birthday to Me Blog Hop

Happy Friday

and

Welcome to...

My Birthday Celebration!

This year I wanted to celebrate my Birthday by sharing a blog hop with you that has some of the best crafters I know. So, be sure to hop through everyone blog to see all of the amazing projects that they have made to share with you today and don't forget to leave each person a little love on their blogs because I have some wonderful blog candy to give to one lucky person. Not only am I getting presents today but someone else will as well.

And incase you get lost along the way there is a line-up at the end of the post to help you find your way.

Today's blog candy is a Smash Book Starter Kit filled with everything that you will need to start a new Smash Book for the new year.

For my first card I have made a digital Wizard of Oz Birthday card because as some of you may or may not know I LOVE the Wizard of Oz so why not make me a Wizard of Oz birthday card.

For my second card, which is also a digital card which I made from various digital kits that I had bought from Creative Memories.

Both cards were made with a program called Storybook Creator Plus 4 that I had gotten from Creative Memories.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting with us today and helping me to celebrate my birthday.
Your next stop will be with...
