Pretty Pink Posh 1st Birthday Celebration!!!!


Today we start the 1st Birthday celebration of Pretty Pink Posh!  A ton of fabulous guests and inspiration over the next 3 days!  (and some sweet prizes too!)  The full hop can be found below but you should have arrived from my good friend, Laurie Willison. :)


I LOVE this new die called Pocket Border from Pretty Pink Posh!   As soon as I saw this die, this card layout came to mind.  The stitching adds just the perfect touch to this layer plus the added "notch" makes it so cute!  I've also added in some amazing  6mm Watermelon and 4mm/6mm Sparkling Clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh!  (I've realized that I now need the 4mm Watermelon too! :) )
