Happy Birthday Joyce Blog Hop


Happy Birthday to my sweet friend Joyce Mehrberg!  I know you aren't surprised.  You HAD to know that after all the blog hops you have organized that we would be doing one for you too and a great big thank you to Kim for arranging the details.  There was no shortage of willing participants for your blog either, just take a look at the link list at the bottom of my post.
I will keep this short, I am sure you will want to see what everyone has made for you!
Joyce loves ice cream and this one is a triple scoop using three types of PTI patterned paper pack designs.  I stitched around Tag Sale #3 with floss and stamped it with Fillable Frames #5 in three different colors.  I added some Lil Inker Balloons and a cute celebrate arrow I cut with my silhouette. The raspberry fizz layer is embossed with a Darice Chevron embossing folder.   I even tied a shiny bow!

Joyce, I hope you have a fabulous day on Cinco de Mayo and make sure to blow out the candles and make a great big wish for the coming year!

Wow--Cathy--this is just the sweetest and most festive card. That ice cream cone is literally making me drool. I love all the special elements--that triple decker cone, the tag with the stitching--darling, all that perfectly lined up stamping--the balloons, bow, chevrons and polka dots. I see I have a waffle cone, too. Love your Silhouette cut arrow. Thank you for making me this fabulous card--it is all ME.

Oh this is a cute one and delicious! I love the arrow you cut with your Silhouette. Your bows are all so darn cute lately… are you using the bow maker or making them free hand? Love this adorable card! Now I am in search of an ice cream cone.

What a bow too, this all screams Joyce's name too, so festive! Thank you so much for being a party animal with the rest of us in celebrating Joyce's special day.
