I seriously love a little Birthday Blog Hop - especially if it is of the *surprise* variety - today we're wishing my sweet friend Karen Motz!If you don't already read her adorable blog Paper Playhouse, you'll want to add it to your google reader because she does such gorgeous work!
If you're just stumbled across our little birthday hop then you'll want to start all over at the top at Dana's blog so you don't miss any of the birthday wishes along the way!
Since I know Karen has a soft spot for MFT's Pure Innocence stamps I of course couldn't help but use this sweet Birthday Princess in my card for her.
And, my layout was largely inspired by this week's Splitcoast Stampers sketch, (but I'm missing a panel) All of the patterned papers are October Afternoon's Thrift Shop. I so adore this collection.
Now for the funniest part of the blog hop, the last stop on the hop is Karen! Little did she know she was participating in her own birthday hop today! Be sure to stop on over there, comment on her adorable card today, and leave her some birthday love!!

I grabbed my PI's when I went to make the card but thought maybe I should try to use something else (lately I have been a little MFT crazy..LOL). This is so cute, she is going to LOVE it!

Love the layering, and especially your paper selection. I tried to sew on a couple of cards ... it sure doesn't look like yours!
