Happy Birthday Bev!

Hi there everyone!

Today is a very special day for a very special lady out there in blog land. It is Bevs birthday! Bev is the owner of the Happy Dance blog - what a cool name! 

I have to say that I don't know Bev, but since I have been asked by Darnell and Ardyth to join in the linky party for this lovely lady, how could I say no?

So, I did a bit of 'Bev Stalking'. 

From what I could tell, Bev is a lover of CAS. A woman after my own heart. Who doesn't love a good CAS card? All that white space...... ahhhhhhh..... whoops, I digress......

More stalking found that Bev loves the simple things in life. Having 8 children and 20 grandchildren, she is obviously a family person. Just from having a look around, Bev chooses to celebrate life (with a happy dance here and there) and it certainly shows in her cardmaking.

Onto my card -



I wanted to use bright and happy colours for Bev. I started off knowing that I had to use my new Lil' Inker Stitched Balloon dies. Aren't they so cute!! I used some of the left over stars to embellish the card too. I hand drew the balloon strings and the sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

Obviously I wanted to keep my card pretty CAS just for Bev. 

There you go! Happy Birthday Bev! I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy the cards that everyone has prepared for you. Enjoy!!!

If you would like to join in the linky party, just click HERE to take you to the post!


I would like to enter my card into the following challenges -

ABC Challenge - Tic Tac Toe (I chose Dies / Sentiment / Stitching (real or faux)
Cuttlebug Mania - Anything Die Cut goes
Die Cut Divas - New Things

Thanks so much for looking xx

  2. Bev is going to swoon over your fun CAS card in her honor, Kylie! Your balloons and stars (and great hand-drawn strings!) are perfect for the party! That was such a sweet tribute and it was so nice of you to take the time to get to know the Bev we know and love and make her a card!! Hugs, Darnell
