Party Time Blog Hop

 Hello and welcome to our CTMH Party Time blog hop, if you have arrived here from Doreen's blog  you are in the right place. If you arrived here by chance I hope you see something you like. You can continue the hop by clicking on the link at the end of this post.

This collection has a wonderful selection of party papers, with balloon, candle and streamer images and then even more with the dots, stripes and Happy Birthday sentiments.

Of course this collection screams party and birthdays, so my first project is a birthday card. I wanted to showcase different papers, after choosing three of the papers I then matted them on complimentary cardstock. To decorate I have added the party hat stamped and coloured images, ribbon and the Happy Birthday. A little bling adds some sparkle. 

I am really happy with how the streamer paper looks on this layout, makes it look really festive. These beautiful flowers are from the Stitched Florals stamp set Z3698 and they match the flowers on the cake perfectly. I haven't done pen stictching on a layout for a long time and love how it looks.

Never feel you have to stick to the theme of any collection, there are always at least one or two of the papers that can be used with any project. I love these pink flowers backed with the pretty white dots on the pink paper.

Thanks for stopping by I hope my projects have inspired you to use this lovely collection. For more great ideas hop along to Lauren Moore's blog I am sure she will have something wonderful to share.

Please take a moment and leave a comment, they are allways appreciated.

Happy crafting!
