______________________________
Welcome back! I really hope you enjoyed our YNS Birthday Hop! It’s ok if you drooled all over your keyboard, I won’t tell anyone! I know I did when I saw all the stunning DT and Guest projects! WOW!!!
You should have all your puzzle pieces but before you submit your puzzle I’d like to share my hop projects with you!
First off I made a bright and cheery birthday card! I inked up Heather R.’s Make a Wish stamp set and added a little shine with my glitter pen and a little sparkle by adding some YNS Sparkly Flat Backs and YNS Glittered Skittles. Check out my floating flames! LOL I put it all together and forgot the twine to connect the flame to the candle! OOPS!
Next up is my new release project. I decided to ink up Fhiona’s new set Rainbows and Happiness for my card. I got out my sparkly Twinkling H20’s {which I totally heart} and then added some YNS Sparkly Flat Backs for some extra bling. The sentiment is stamped with my all time favorite stamp pad Calypso and the white cardstock is Cryogen White which has a built in shimmer. Oh and we must not forget the fuzz I added to the clouds – messy stuff to work with but so FUN! It’s hard to see all the sparkle in the photo but this card definitely twinkles!
OK so now how about some Birthday Prizes! YAY! Be sure to have all your puzzle pieces and then submit your final puzzle below for your chance to win one of these FABULOUS prize packs!
 YNS Birthday Prize #1
YNS Birthday Prize #2
I’ll announce the winners on Tuesday August 16th! YAY!

    The candle card is my FAVORITE! I love cards that are long and narrow. It really draws attention to the candles.

    And I love how you flocked the clouds in the second card. And I’m a huge fan of the sentiment’s colors!
