The image I've used is from A Kids View collection, AKV Birthday - Party.  My image is colored in PSE.  I've used my Swiss Dots and Star Edge punches, some birthday ribbon, and a Sizzix Celebrate #2 Phrase die to embellish my card. My papers are from my stash. :0)

Now that you've been inspired ( I hope!), why not head over to the Bugaboo Stamps store and pick up this cutie for yourself? Don't forget to enter your project into Mr. Blinky when you're done.....you don't want to miss out on a chance to win!

While you're there, don't miss the Daily Deal that Jodie has posted, and be sure to check back every day for a new "doesn't get any better than this!" price on some super sweet Bugaboo images!
