My Card:

This awesome tag and party hat are showcasing Daydream Designs new "PARTY TIME" collection! I paper-pieced the hat, I added the hat and balloon to my digital paper to make a design on the paper then I traced them with stickles, the tag...I used the Party Time Sentiments "happy" and "birthday" and placed them over the sentiment that was already there, so that it would say "Happy Birthday" I got some washi tape from the LSS yesterday, that is the yellow with white dots on my card. All the digi papers are by Sugar Pop Sweet Designs. I used little white poms on the left side! I can't belive I finally used them!! :)

Hi Helen: Your card this week is, once again and as always, just darling. I praise God for the inspiration of the SSIC gang, and for all the sweet fellowship I get each week (not to mention great challengs). God is just SO GOOD and I thank you for all your efforts to inspire others. Have a blessed week, and I do hope you can play along at Word Art Wednesday again this week.
God's blessings to you, my friend and Sister in the Lord Jesus Christ,
