Hello, CardMonkey fans!
It's Day #2 of Jennifer's It's My Birthday Blog Hop. You're in the right place. I don't have a new card to post just yet ... maybe tomorrow.
For today, I'm hopping along with the rest of you. There are LOTS of hops this weekend. Check them all out at my sister blogsite, http://www.scraphops.blogspot.com/.
You'll get to meet new crafters with amazing style.
Back to hopping...

In honor of her 38th birthday, Jennifer has scheduled the "It's my Birthday Blog Hop!" So come, hop along with us and find some terrific ideas for cards to celebrate birthdays in general.
The starting point for this hop is with Jennifer at Crafty Card Gallery. You may
have arrived here from Nicolette's Beyond Scrapin blogsite ... isn't her card terrific!? Your next stop after me is Miss Adri at Ma Cherie Creations. If you get lost any place along the way, I've posted the full list of hop stops far below.
OK, without further ado, here is my card made just for Jennifer, and mailed to her home yesterday.
I read that Jennifer loves dragonflies, so that is my theme for her card. I made a "Never Ending Card" (my first attempt at this!), in honor of Jennifer's never-ending supply of card ideas found on her i-Phone and Droid Card Gallery App.
Because this card has motion/folds that are best watched rather than just seen, I'm posting my card as a 2-minute video:
Thanks for enduring that video! As your reward, let's have some BLOG CANDY!! My blog candy is the most terrific pair of crafting scissors out there ... just perfect for trimming your snagged edges and getting into tight corners ... EK Success's "Cutter Bee" scissors. To win this candy:
1. Bee, or bee-come, a follower of the CardMonkey blogsite, and let me know so in your comment.
2. Leave a comment on this posting.
Now, on to your next It's My Birthday Blog Hop stop ...
Go to Miss Adri
♥ Thank you for stopping by! ♥
Happy Birthday, Jennifer!
In case you get lost, here is the full list of stops, in order with links:
