Bright Birthday day! Celebrate the big 5-0

Happy Birthday, Cheryl (my boss)!!!

She is turning the big 5-0 today, and now she is going to kill me for posting this on my blog!

 But in all fairness, I made her a hanging frame that holds a picture of us four HR girls. That should make up for me posting her age on my blog, right!?! I love making these frames! They are a little more time consuming, but they turn out so cute!

So, here are the ingredients:

The black paper is Bazzill.

The shiny kind from Michael's (my fav!)

The pink scalloped paper is

from a paper pack from Hobby Lobby

The stripped paper and the drink paper are from Michael's

I cut out the crown using the Once Upon A Princess cartridge

(cut at 4")

and the 3 circle cut outs from the Home Accents cartridge

(cut at 3 1/2")

The ' Let's Celebrate' is from a K & Company birthday pack from Michael's

All of the flowers are Prima paper flowers.

I adhered all of the rhinestones with my i-rock tool. I'm really loving that tool more and more!

I used pop dots to pop up the stripped paper so that you can put a picture in there.

I used a 4x6 picture so I cut the hole just a tad smaller so that the picture will be held in place.

 This picture also shows the ribbon I chose. The lime green ribbon has 'Party Time' on it.

I am a ribbon junkie, I have SO much ribbon, so I couldn't tell you where I got it from...

What a great gift, huh? I love making these!!

Happy Birthday, boss lady!
