Celeste's Birthday Blog Hop

Welcome to Celeste’s Birthday Blog Hop!
What a great way to celebrate your birthday by hosting a blog hop.
Thank you to Celeste who invited me to join in on the fun!

If you are hopping over from Heather’s Blog you are in the right spot.

If you are new to my blog you may not know that I think “Inside the Box” and love creating Shadow Box Collages. I decided to make a shadowbox for the hop (It’s for Celeste - shhh! Don’t tell her).


I had some fun chipboard from K & Company that I picked up from Joanns to add as accents. Frame is also from Joanns (it’s 12x12). I design for SVG Cuts and the scallop shapes, butterflies, rosette, happy birthday and present are from SVG Cuts (they are one of the generous sponsors of the hop). Also used Creative Charms embellishments to accent.

I used my brand spanking new Sizzix eclips & Ecal Software to cut the elements. Check out the detail on the font (it’s called DecotoralCG-Inline) - I am loving my new Eclips!

A few closeups:





Your next stop on the hop is Melin’s Blog.

Thanks for joining in on the hop. Please leave a comment on each blog and Celeste will be selecting winners on Sunday from everyone’s blogs.

Happy Birthday Hoppin!

    I always love your shadow boxes! This one is extra special. Love all the details. I bought some boxes a while back but have been too intimidated to decorate them yet...I keep telling myself I will do one every time I see one of yours. LOL

    Looks like the secret is out... she knows the box is all for her!
    I didn't tell! (-:
    It sure does suit her, though... the colors and embellies are "just right" as Goldilocks would say!
