Hello My Crafty Friends,

I had a Stampin' Up! workshop this Saturday and was very busy preparing, I had a blast with all the ladies!!  Josette hosted the party at her house and OMG!! you cooked up a storm with lots of delicious yummy goodies!! All the 8 ladies were so cute and fun to teach the dry and heat embossing technique!

OK, so today we have Diana's Birthday Blog Hop with lots of amazing talented ladies in the line up and their AMAZING creations!!

Happy Birthday Diana,  I'm so happy to celebrate this special day with YOU!!  You should of started the hop over HERE which is my blog and your next visit will be Carri from Double Click Connections!
This is a close up of the box and that beautiful flower that I created with the Blossom Punch and sprayed it with some Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spitz 
This box fits about 8 A2 cards! I originally saw a video on this box over at Spiltcoast Stampers.  The card is fairly simple using the BEAUTIFUL stamp called Pleasant Poppies  from Stampin' Up!
I used Certainly Celery to color all the flowers and then Wild Wasabi with Gumball Green finish up the flowers.  I also used Daffodil Delight for the center and some Crystal Effects
