Surprise Kim! At least I hope you are surprised, it's a birthday blog hop for you from all of your friends to wish you a Happy Birthday. Here's the card I made for you:
Now Kim, for my confession. I did actually make this card, but I didn't design it myself. I knew I wanted to use PTI's Tea for Two since I know how much you love tea, so I did a Google Image search and looked at tons of cards for some inspiration. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this card by Christina MacLaren of
Sea Glass and Sentiments. No matter how hard I tried I could not come up with a card that came anywhere close to being as beautiful as this card. Christina very graciously allowed me to use her design, so I not only cased it, I made it identical. Every detail. A few days later I felt guilty making you a card so blatantly not my own that I remade it and at least changed the color of the cardstock. Not much of a change, but something.
I hope you enjoy your birthday blog hop Kim. You are such a great friend to so many people I am certain you will be seeing some great cards today to wish you a Happy Birthday. Enjoy!

Cathy, this turned out fabulous! You added my very favorite color, aqua, and it looks amazing. Thanks so much for the shout-out, but you deserve all the credit for this beauty!
