Happy Birthday Kara!!!
Hello Friends,
Today we are celebrating our wonderful friend Kara's Birthday. If you are not familiar with Kara and her beautiful cards and projects at her blog: KandRdesigns.blogspot.com you are in for a wonderful treat! You may visit and find yourself still there an hour later as you page through her gorgeous cards and creations!
Kara's blog was one of the first that I found when I started playing along with the Papertrey Ink's "Make it Monday" challenges and I was instantly inspired! She has such a wonderful design style and I always enjoy my visits to her blog and to her Friday Inspiraiton File over on Pinterest. I am so happy to be able to participate today in a birthday blog hop in her honor. Happy Birthday Kara! Thanks for all of the inspiration that you provide to me and so many others! You are a sweetheart!
In Kara's honor I used my Impression Obsession "cake slice" die for the first time. It has been sadly neglected since I purchased it and this was the perfect excuse to put it to a very good use!!
I also had to decorate the inside of Kara's card:
I want to thank Joyce for organizing this lovely Birthday hop for Kara! Here is the list of everyone participating in today's hop in case you get lost along the way:

I am sending you on to the lovely and talented Kelly G's blog "Notable Nest".
Happy Birthday Kara! I cannot wait to hop around myself and look at all of the lovely birthday goodness that will be posted in your honor! Each of these ladies is an inspiration to me!!!
Hugs,
Jill
