Craftin Desert Diva's Linky Party #11 - Birthday Challenge

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a great weekend!! I am trying to catch up from being gone for several days. I just got home and have not had a chance to visit anyone so I will be doing that in the next few days :)

I am guest posting at Craftin' Desert Divas for the second week of the Birthday Challenge with an Animal :)  You have one more week to create a birthday project.

Every linky party will have a sponsor and a winner, plus a top 3. The winner will be announced on a semi-weekly basis. The more times you link up, the more chances you have to win. If you make the Top 3 you will also be invited to be a guest designer on an upcoming linky party!!

All of the papers for this are from my stash. The base is a Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Rectangle, followed by a Spellbinders Grand Rectangle. The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is from my sweet friend Karen of Little Scrap Pieces.

The adorable hippo is from Create a Critter, cut in Core'dinations Core Couture cardstock. The hippo was popped up with foam tape for dimension. The sentiment tags are Spellbinders Nested Pennants dies. The sentiments are from K Andrew Designs stamp sets.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. DL.Art - Thankful Thursday - July Anything Goes
2. Sunday Funday #11 - Linky Party

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to Craftin' Desert Diva to see the amazing projects the design team has created for today's challenge. Then link up your Birthday Project...I can't wait to see what you create :)
