PurpleFuntastick Birthday Bonanza Hop -- Happy Birthday, Kari!! :)

Hello and welcome to Kari's Birthday Bash!  Thanks for coming to the party!!  There's a SUPER FUN crowd of Kari's friends gathering to CELEBRATE this magnificent lady!! :)

Kari has a special Grand Prize to give away so make sure you comment at each stop on the hop!!

If you're ready to begin the celebrating, then let's get started...  If you've hopped over from Jen, then you are in the right place!!  If you've just popped in to visit my blog or are reading this via email and you'd like to join the party, then please CLICK HERE to start at the beginning with Kari's blog because...  If you want to see everything from the start, then the start is quite a good place to begin!! :)

Let's see what I created for Kari...

Kari loves purple and chocolate, so I found this delicious looking chocolate-colored ribbon that just reminded me of her!!  I embossed the purple cardstock with my Cuttlebug "Happy Birthday" embossing folder, added some flowers and butterflies (something else she loves), stamped the "Today is your day!" sentiment from the "Positive Thoughts" Stamp Art Set by K Andrew Designs, and topped it off with two "chocolate" themed handmade stick pins...  I sure hope she likes it!! :)

I'd like to thank Kari for including me in the CELEBRATION --  I'd also like to thank  all of my wonderful friends and followers who take the time to hop through and help make this such a WONDERFUL hop!!  Now....   Before you leave...  What's a hop without some GOODIES???
