Happy Birthday to YOU!

Welcome to the Stamps R Us Birthday Celebration Blog Hop!

If you've arrived here from Carol's, then you're in the right place. If not, you should head over to Stamps R Us to check out the celebrations.

We have some WONDERFUL prizes that have been donated to us and at least one prize will be given away at each stop. The trick is, you have to leave a comment at each stop along the way to be eligible to win them.

Meanwhile, for this fortnight's challenge, Whimsie Doodles is our official sponsor. Make sure you check out their store - lots of super fun digital images to choose from. To help us celebrate our birtday, Whimsie Doodles is offering our fans a 10% discount, good for 30 days from the start of the challenge (today). To use the discount, make sure you enter SRU10 when you check out at Whimsie Doodles.

This is my sample for the Birthday Celebration Blog Hop, using one of Whimsie Doodles images, Pig-Kini. As soon as I saw this, the song "She Wore an Itsy Bitsy, Teeny Weeny, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" kept playing over & over in my head. I colored her with Copics then added some glossy accents to the polks dots and her snout. I skewed the image that was die cut using one of the Spellbinders Label dies then stenciling inside the frame for a layered look. The background papers are digital, matted on either Tango or Daffodil. The sentiment is computer generated. I thought it was kind of funny to "X" off the "itsy bitsy, teeny weeny" part of it. I finished with some pretty yellow grosgrain ribbon with orange stitching. Hope you like it!

Here's hoping that you enjoy our Birthday Celebration Blog Hop ~ Good Luck in winning some of the wonderful prizes donated by some great companies, among them: Inspired Stamps, K 'n K Designs, The Stamping Boutique, Cardmadfairy's Card Creations, Squidgi Digi, Michelle Perkett Studio, Tiffany Doodles, Clear Dollar Stamps, Bug A Boo Stamps, Through the Craftroom Door, Color Me Creative Classroom, Bizzy Bec's, and Oozak.
