TSG157 - SURPRISE Birthday Blog Hop for Jessica Knutson!

Happy Birthday to Jessica Knutson!

Jessica is the owner of There She Goes Clear Stamps and today the Trendsetters (past and present) along with some TSG special friends have organized a surprise birthday hop for our friend!

I had the honor of meeting Jessica in Washington back in February when the Ribbon Carousel Crew and the TSG Trendsetters gathered for one crazy crop at her home.  A week later, I was invited to join the Trendsetters and to become a member of her talented design team.  I think she said there was something "magical" about me.  Maybe I made that up.  Nonetheless, I am thrilled to be designing for her!

And so, Jessica, here is my birthday card for you, friend!

I inked the adorable "A Little Treat" stamp set.  I colored it with copics and added some liquid pearls to the cake.  I paired the PTI vintage cream and black CS with some DSP from te MME Blush 6x6 paper pad.  I attached the sentiment with a silver brad.  I used a SU punch to make the awning and I added some black vintage seam binding from the Ribbon Carousel.  

I combined Jessica's birthday hop with this week's TSG Challenge which is a sketch.....my favorite kind of challenge!  

Here's the sketch:

Enjoy the hop!
