Today, the Inspired By Stamping Design Team is hopping for Joanna's [the owner] and the company, Inspired By Stamping, birthday! If you are hopping, you should be coming from Shan's Blog. [To start at the beginning, pop on over to Joanna's blog for the complete list of participants.] It's been 3 years up and running for the company, and more then that, for Joanna up and running ;). HAPPY BIRTHDAY to both!
I used IBS Background Basics III, Chalkboard Birthday and Flowers Bloom to make my birthday card for Joanna.
J, I hope you have a fabulous birthday. If I know you, I am sure it will be on the boat somewhere awesome!

[This is the last stop of the hop for Joanna's birthday]
It is also AAA Card Challenge #26 time. This week's challenge is a clean and simple Halloween card.
I dug through my give-a-way stamp pile and found some Halloween stamps from Inkadinkado, Gemstone Halloween. My sentiment is from SP Company, [which I just found out is OOB].
As you all know, Halloween is not something I like, in fact, I have disliked this "holiday" for a long time. This is to your benefit because
Meanwhile, pop on over to AAA Card Challenge #26, and play along! While there, be sure and check out the rest of the Team's sample cards~
And last, but not least, there is also another surprise birthday gathering for Shirley-Bee!!
I wanted to use Shirley's new Bee's Knees release, City Girl. I adore this image! I used a Copic dotted coloring technique. Don't you think it works perfectly with her classy look? And the gray stockings? I love this image!
Maria is hosting this birthday get together with a Linky [starts 8AM GMT today]! Feel free to pop on over and say HAPPY HAPPY to Shirley, and upload a card! The more the merrier!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRLEY!!
Thanks for stopping by~

Joanna is going to love that amazing red rose and the wonderful design of her card, Vicki. It is stunning! xx
Thank you Vicki for creating such a beautiful card! Thank you for the surprise and being a part of the team! Your creations are so beautiful and I am always amazed at your creativity! Thank you so much! With love, Joanna
PS And yes, I do hope I will be on our boat! hehe :) You do know me. xoxo
Vicki, your card for Joanna is gorgeous; the black/white frame sets off the stunning rose beautifully. Although you dislike Halloween, your card is certainly clever. I like the 'concept' of Halloween more than the 'holiday' itself; I like playing with the cutesy Halloween images *grin* (any excuse to make things for my niece and nephew). Your card for Shirley: oh my, where do I buy that outfit! LOVE the colours, the technique, the works! Classy!
