Sweet 'n Sassy Birthday Hop

Hello and welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Birthday Blog Hop! Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is so excited to be celebrating four wonderful years! I met Korin a few years ago during a stamping event in PA and we connected right away, she's a blast and a much loved Christian sister!! When she was looking for new DT members, I simply had to try out and I've been blessed to be on the team for two years now. I love this team so much that I'd be happy to stay forever!! :-) I couldn't be more excited for Korin and am so happy to celebrate this fourth year with her and the rest of our wonderful team!

A fantastic group of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps design team members past and present, along with some special friends, have put together this fabulous Birthday Blog Hop to kick off a whole month of fun. We have 36 stops so the hop will take place over three days - feel free to take your time visiting each blog! You have until 11:59pm EST November 9th to leave comments on as many blogs as you can. On Saturday, November 12th Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps will announce FOUR winners (chosen at random from comments on random stops along the hop); each lucky winner will receive a prize pack including stamps, dies, paper & twine valued at $40!

If you have been following along already you should have come from Taylor Usry. If you are only starting here, please head back to the SNSS blog and go from there. You won't want to miss any stops along the way! Also, don't forget to comment on as many stops as you can....the more comments the better your chance of winning one of the fabulous prize packs! :)

My card features this darling turtle image and sentiment from the Gifts from Turtle stamp set. My sweet turtle was colored with Copics and paired with designer paper from Cosmo Cricket. And the layout is from this week's Sweet Stop challenge blog!

Ready for the next stop? Your next stop on the hop is Monika Davis but just in case there are any hiccups, here is the whole list of celebrants on this party train:
