Don'tcha just love surprises? Well I do, so here I am today with the rest of the There She Goes girls to shout out a big 'ole HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our fearless leader Miss Jessica Knutsen!!! It's Jessica's birthday today, so the the girls all decided to get together to shower both Jessica and yourselves with a blog hop of really fabulous goodies ;)
If you have arrived here from Donna's blog then you are in the right place, if not then please start at the beginning over at Chris's blog ;) We want to be able to send you on a cruise of eye candy before you end the hop to send Jessica some wonderful birthday wishes ;)
This is a little 5x5 journal that I picked up to alter and ended up changing out the O-Wires to match as well. I created the front panel, inner panel and a backing to really personalize it with the Aim for the Clouds set. I cut out all the strips of designer paper and adhered them together to mimic the main image of the rolling hills and skyline because I think that it kind of adds that little sumpin', sumpin' to the whole shebang ;)
The image is water coloured (as always) with my tombow dual brush pens and a water brush and then only the hot air balloon was popped up because I was afraid that too much dimension would get smooshed when using the journal ;)
I hope you enjoyed our little birthday hop and now you can continue on to Mercy's blog to see all the yumminess that she has in store for you :)
Jessica, I hope that you have a fantastic birthday filled with wonderful family, friends, laughter and fond memories to follow :) Happy Birthday Girlie!
