Welcome to my Birthday blog hop! I am so happy that you have decided to hop on over!

You don't want to miss any awesome projects and blog candy giveaways!
Thank you so much for stopping over and helping me celebrate my birthday! I just love birthdays! It is truly the one day you can get away with almost anything... LOL I take advantage of it and if my plan goes right I hope to be locked in my craft room with paper, glue and glitter all around me!
Now today is my birthday but I also share this day with my Step-Dad! So in honor of his birthday I decided to make a special card for him:
Bolts from Indie Art Cricut Cartridge
Paper are from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Crowded Attic
I sanded all the edges and inked with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain ink
Liquid Pearls
Clusters bling
Recollections for mini gmes
Martha Stewart Twine Inked
3Girl Jam Ribbon
Brads, clips
Tiny Attacher
Martha Stewart Glitter Snow
Clear Crackle Paint
