Happy Birthday Frances!

Hello and good morning to each and every one of you! Today we are celebrating the birthday of one of our Paper Pretties Design Team members, and not just any DT member, but our fabulous Frances Byrne is celebrating her birthday today! I don't know about you, but the best way I know to celebrate a birthday is with one of our Virtual Birthday Party Hops Prettie style!

The Birthday Blog Hop starts at the Paper Pretties Blog, so if you didn't start there, I suggest you head back so you don't miss out on any of the party!
For my birthday creation for Frances I decided to use my Best Friends stamp set, the way these two girls are just so excited I thought would be perfect for a birthday celebration! I also used a sentiment stamp from the Surprise Sophia stamp set, I love the text style used in this set, it is just so sweet. I also played along with two challenges for this card using this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge and the current Color Throwdown Challenge!Here is the order of our Blog Hop so that you don't get lost along the way!
