Ribbon & Rhinestones Birthday Blog Hop Day 2 & Exclusive Blog Candy.....


Welcome back to day 2 of the Ribbon & Rhinestone's Birthday Blog Hop! I was amazed at all the Fabulous projects the other ladies in the hop created! If you haven't been by the rest of the hop yet, I would highly recommend it. There are some really talented ladies in the hop and I feel so honored they've all chosen to help me celebrate my Birthday ♥

For my day 2 project I wanted to keep the same theme going, so I created another Audrey Hepburn card ;)


I really love the vintage look, so I tried to incorporate a little vintage in with some of the modern too. I used a polka dot printed paper along with a glittery pink card stock. I added Black rhinestones, Flower rhinestones & Grey ribbon from my Etsy shop. I finished off the card with a Birthday rub-on and a bit of color along the edges.

I do love the way it turned out. There is something to be said for simplicity ♥ Your next stop on the hop is Kim. If you get lost along the way, here is the complete line up:

Ribbon & Rhinestones Blog Hop 5/19 & 5/20....



Ribbon & Rhinestones.... Just saying those two words brings a huge smile to my face! I feel so lucky to have so many Wonderful women helping me to celebrate my birthday with the Ribbon & Rhinestones Blog Hop. They are all so talented and I know they've been working on some really Amazing projects for the hop. I hope you enjoy what you see along the way and please make sure you let these ladies know how truly talented they are. Remember this is a 2 day hop, so please make sure you come back tomorrow to see more Fabulous creations!

Since Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of my All Time favorite movies, I thought Audry would help us celebrate all things Ribbon & Rhinestones!



I used basic White & a Tiffany's Blue Green cardstock  along with White grosgrain ribbon & Black satin ribbon from my Etsy shop. The sentiment is from Lost & Found line from My Minds Eye and I finished it off with some rhinestones and I added just a bit of color to the edges. I really love the simplicity of the card, just like Audry Hepburn... Simple but Elegant ♥

You next stop in the hop is Kim from Ricketts Crickets, and I can't wait for you to see her Fabulous Creation! In case you get lost along the way, here is the complete line up for the Ribbon & Rhinestones Blog Hop!
