Birthday Blog Hop Day One

Welcome to the SweetSassyDiva Birthday Blog Hop!

We are celebrating Bobbi Jo's (SweetSassyDiva) birthday this weekend March 10th and 11th.  This is going to be a fun hop showcasing lots of Birthday Themed fun!  Each blog will have one project today and a new one tomorrow!


If you've hopped over from Lucy's blog, then you are in the right place. If you've just popped in to visit my blog, please start at the beginning with Bobbi Jo's blog.  We have a WONDERFUL Grand Prize for one lucky hopper that is donated by Bobbi Jo!  It is a Cricut cartridge called Sophie.  To be eligible, please visit each blog hop stop leaving a comment also, become a follower at http://sweetsassydiva.com/ and be sure to leave a comment!  One random winner will be chosen on Wednesday, March 14th, giving you plenty of time to finish the hop.

Ok, on to the project!  The theme is birthday so I dug out some pictures of my daughter's most recent birthday.  We tricked her a little bit with her present so this is a great memory!  Here is the layout:

It was her 9th birthday and all she wanted was a new iPod touch, one with a camera.  She already had an older one.  We bought her a new case for her iPod which she opened first and was happy about.  Then she opened the bigger box, which was not the shape of an iPod but inside... if you look at the smaller right picture, you'll see her reaction to that!  Then she loved the case even more too!  :)

The 9 was cut with the latest Cricut Circle cart, Letter Envy.  It was cut at 2.5" using the Font option.

The "sun" is from another Cricut Circle cart, Paper Trimmings.  It was cut at 1.5".  I was worried about this being too small for the detail but my original E did the job just fine.

I hope you have enjoyed my layout.  Tomorrow you will see it's partner so come on back!  But wait!  Before you leave, be sure to leave me a comment to be entered to win a 3 Birds on Parade Cricut cartridge!  You must be a follower and leave me a way to get in contact with you.  There's nothing worse than me picking you and not being able to tell you that you won!  

Thank you for stopping by!  The fun doesn't end here though so hop on over to Gaby's blog!
 See you tomorrow for a new project from all of us!
