Happy Birthday, Friend!

Whew!  That was a fun blog hop!  I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed the comaraderie of it all!  Today, in my quest to gradually get caught up, I have a friend's birthday card to show:

I didn't keep track of supplies, but I do remember that the paper was from a 6x6 pad (K&Co. maybe?)  And the flower is from Michael's house brand, Recollections.  They always seem to have a few on clearance, and that's when I pick them up because I can't resist anything floral! 

I decorated the inside, which I almost always do, but also added an envie liner, something I rarely take the time for.  I just loved the paper so much, I wanted to keep using it!  :-)  Oh, and the ribbon?  That was off a package--it happened to be the perfect length, no trimming necessary, and the same color as the flower!  That will never happen again, LOL!  (And the stamps are PTI--can't forget that!)  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Jill, this is absolutely gorgeous. So rich and vibrant, yet elegant as well. Serendipity on the ribbon for sure!
