Enjoy the Season!

Hi everyone! Welcome to the surprise Birthday Blog Hop for Stephanie Hunt, the wonderful owner/creator of Bella Blvd.

You should have arrived here from my dear friend STACEY's blog. If not, then those that are just joining in will want to go to start of the hop at the Bella Blvd blog.

To create my card I used the "Hello Beautiful" collection, which I still love, along with the aqua sheet from Sophisticates, and the sentiment is found on the Sophisticates miniature stickers.

Even though it's Stephanie's birthday, Bella Blvd. has some gifts for a few of you lucky readers as well! We all know how generous and giving Stephanie is, and she would never have a fun blog hop without a few giveaways up for grabs too. All you need to do to be entered to win is leave Stephanie your birthday wishes in my comment section. We'll pick TEN winners from TEN different blogs, and we'll announce the lucky winners on Friday on the Bella Blvd. blog!

Now hop on over to Katherine McElvain's blog, your next stop on our blog hop!

And again, Happy Birthday Stephanie!
