Happy Birthday to Me . . . A Blog Makeover and a New Card

Hi everyone and Happy Thursday evening :) I am so excited to share my new blog with you. I decided a while back that I needed a blog makeover. My friend Suzanne (Scrap Bitz) recommended Veronica from VK Design Company. I loved how Veronica designed Suzanne's blog so I put my name on her waiting list and waited for my turn. Boy was it worth the wait. Veronica was a dream to work with and I'm so happy with the final result. What do you think?

In other news, today I turned 29. I told hubby this is the age I will remain for a while LOL! :) That way, next year, I'll be 29, the year after that, I'll be 29, etc. :) I'm just kidding, I hear your 30s are the best so I suppose there's no sense in hiding from them :) Hubby made my day today so special that I wanted to whip up a quick card this evening to say thank you.

For my card today, I decided to ink up this adorable image from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. This particular image is called Aurora With Bird and I think she's adorable! I colored the image with copics (dress, hat, and shoes: R81, R83, R85; orange: YR65, YR67; skin: E00, E01, E11, RV21; hair: E33, E35, E37; bird: B32, B34, B37). Next I inked around the image with SU Bashful Blue ink. I then created my card base out of SU carstock (Pumpkin Pie and Regal Rose). I decided to go with a pretty simple layout so I added my design paper (from MME) and some pearls and dew drops. What do you think? In celebration of my birthday, I am giving away some fun surprises. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post to be entered into the drawing to win. You have until 10pm EST on Monday, May 10th to leave a comment here to be entered for the drawing. Good luck :)

Well, that's it from me today. I hope you all have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend and I'll see you back here soon.
