SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!

Today we are celebrating a truly wonderful stamper, person and friend, Jessica Knutsen, owner and illustrator of one of my all time favorite companies, There She Goes Clear Stamps.  Since I am currently not able to bake a cake for Jessica myself, Ty said he would be happy to share his from his birthday with Jessica.  :)  Tomorrow is actually Jessica's special day, but since it is also the start of TSG's new release sneak peek blog hops before the big release party on Saturday night, which I KNOW you aren't going to want to miss, we figured we would start the celebration a day early and hope Jessica would be REALLY surprised!


You should have arrived here from the lovely & talented Corinna's Blog, if not, please start at the beginning at Angela's blog so you don't miss a moment of the celebration.


Here is my card:


I used this week's Card Patterns' Sketch 116 and TSG's Puppy Love (one of my favorite TSG sets) & Make a Wish sets to create this card.  I colored the pup & cupcake with Copic markers and added some yellow glitter to the icing using a Zig 2 way glue pen.  This card also fulfills the requirements of Basic Grey Challenge 44 - Mix & Match - use products from 2 different Basic Grey collections (here the cupcake DP is from BG's 'Nook & Pantry' collection and the background subtle brown DP is from BG's 'Max & Whiskers' collection).
Thanks for hopping by!  Now you will want to hop on over to Danielle's Blog, for something deliciously wonderful (Nom, nom, nom!).
