Pink Buttons and Bows Card blog hop

Please click here for DT Monday with SVG Attic.

Welcome to our blog hop today!!! Its my granddaughter, Lily's, first birthday and what better way to celebrate then with a little help from my friends! A beautiful baby girl with pink buttons and bows thus we will be celebrating first birthdays using the color theme pink with a dash of buttons and bows not to mention a splash of bling.

Sit back, grap a cupcake and help us celebrate Lily's first birthday. If you just happened upon my blog by mistake, I want you to get your big girl shoes and panties on and start at the beginning which is Lynne but if you came from Gill then you are in the right place.

For our blog candy, it is going to be a pink package with buttons, bows and a bit splash of bling and Stickles and to become eligible just leaving a comment on each baby step along the way and become a new follower if you so desire!! How easy is that!!!!

Since Lynne is such a good blog friend and I have been watching Little Lilly grow up these past few months, I decided I need to make her some personal and original so I designed my own bog card for her. I actually made two.

This was the first one and I liked it but decided I could do better on the bow and it would be nice to have a more contrasting background so I touched up my file.
Also, the color is actually a very bright pink but no matter how I tried I ended up with this neon purpleish pink. It is not this bright - I swear. I love the button in the middle of the bow. I just bought those and they are rubber buttons. I used bakers twine from We R Memory Keepers for the button center. There are two layers to the top bow part.

This is the second card and I cut a background of light green with polka dots. As you can tell the bow top is layered. I made the bow tails thinner too which I like better.

This is the inside of the card and you can see how the bow is actually part of the card design. It says, "Sweet Birthday Wishes" on the inside.

This is the close up of the bow and you can see the layers. I love the butterfly button. It is also a rubber button from k i Memories.

Happy birthday Little Miss Lilly. I hope it's a grand 1st birthday with lots of pink, buttons, and bows plus bling to make your day sparkle.

Now hop on over to Shannon's Blog.
