It's a Par-Tay Up in Here and We R Blog Hoppin'!!

Yes, that's right... time for another fabulous blog-hop... who doesn't love one of those?  And for this one we are hoppin' to celebrate a very special 3rd Birthday!

Yup, Simply Obsessed is celebrating HER 3rd Birthday... woot-woot... perfect cause for a Par-tay!  So grab yourself an early morning cup o' joe or a diet dr. pepper perhaps (whatever gets you going), and prepare to be inspired with various ways to celebrate a birthday in style!  The SO Design Team as well as SO community members like me have come up with many great ideas to share, so be sure to check them all out.  The best part is that the party doesn't end here with the hop! Simply Obsessed is also celebrating with one of their famously fab on-line crops throughout the entire weekend, hosted by DT Member Jenny! She has fabulous games and super fun challenges prepared for this fun~tastic Birthday weekend!  Of course, what would a Birthday Celebration be without GIFTS??  Rather than us receiving the gifts for our birthday, YOU will! The more you participate, the better chance you will have of getting one of the MAGNIFICENT presents we have waiting to be opened! You WILL want to join us if you are wanting to scrap it up this weekend!  Hope to see you there!

For my party favor I'd like to share a Birthday card design idea with you all!

My hubby's birthday was this week so I wanted to make him a card, and I don't know about you all, but for me it's often difficult to come up with a masculine design!  So I had some negative scraps of patterned paper laying on my table which I had cut using my Cricut.  I was using a sheet of Block Party pp from BoBunny which happened to have a masculine feel with the brown tones.  I had previously cut stars out of this paper for another project, and then I got to thinking that the negative scrap of stars would look great on a birthday card for him.  I cut the negative piece into  perfect edges and then adhered it to the front of a cut and folded kraft card base. 

I then cut out my Happy Birthday sentiment with the Cricut Don Juan font and adhered the letters to the front.  I completed the card easy peasy with some BoBunny buttons and bling!  The perfect, simple card for a guy on his Birthday! 

I hope you are enjoying the SO blog-hop, and now you can go check Jenny's blog and see what for fun party favor she has for you!  And remember to keep partying with us this weekend at the SO "Scrap That Vacation" on-line crop that will begin on this Friday, Aug. 13th!  You can sign yourself up in HERE! 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Simply Obsessed!!!
