Happy Birthday to you!

 

If there's one thing I know about Kim, she loves her dogs as though they are her babies and she is a great mom to them too. 

 

 

 

 

A few years back, Kim made me a banner for my birthday that hangs in my craft room. I've been wanting to make her one and this was a perfect opportunity.  I used the fancy topper die from Jaded Blossom, cut the base in half and added the insert to each half.  I cut the insert out of paw print paper from The Paper Studio's Spoiled Rotten stack.  As soon as I saw this stack, I thought of Kim instantly.

 

 

 

 

I strung the pendants together when Kim's favorite ribbon (sheer) and added the lettering with pop dots to make them stand out.  I also added a matching rhinestone to each letter to bring it all together.

 

There are pups between each of the words and 3 of them have bones with her babies names.

 

 

 

 

 

and what's a birthday with out a card?  I of course had to make one that matched the banner for her.  Sorry for all the photos but I just had to show you everything! 

 

 

 

 

Kim is an amazing person, she deserves the best!

I am so happy that we were all able to get together and show her how important she is and how much she means to us!
