Hi and Welcome to YNS' 2nd Birthday Blog Hop, I am so happy you are here celebrating with us and our wonderful guest designers! If you'd like to participate in the blog hop and have not arrived here from Susan's blog, then CLICK HERE to be taken to the start of the hop.
What fun would a birthday party be without games and prizes? We have a fun little puzzle for you to solve along the hop and when you do, you will be entered into the drawing for one of TWO amazing YNS prizes! (Not everyone has a puzzle piece so you need to pay attention, and click on the puzzle pieces, and follow the directions as you find them along the way) When you are done put them all together for your chance to win! You have until Monday, August 15th at Midnight EST.
In celebration of Your Next Stamp's 2nd birthday, I have created this sweet Hoopy Birthday card!!
This little sweetheart is part of the new August release called Hula Hoop Fhiona. She comes with the Hoopy Birthday sentiment that you see as well as one other. Isn't she adorable?!?! I've used some sweet DP from Pink Paislee - Hometown Summer. This paper just begged me to use my new picket fence border punch from Martha Stewart and MFT grass die. I used Stickles on her headband and hula hoop for some fun sparkle.
And to keep the celebration going, I created another card using one of my favorite Your Next Stamp images, Asha from India. I've embossed the solid color paper panels and paired it with DP from My Mind's Eye - Life of the Party. My little mixture of Shimmerz and Cotton Candy Stickles was used to create the sheer sparkle on her Sari. I was inspired by the Sari's I've seen the women in my husbands family wear; they are made of the most beautiful shimmering fabrics.
Your next stop along the hop is the very talented Diana. Good Luck and I hope you enjoy the hop!!

I am in LOVE with the sparkly headband and hula hoop! The whole card is so adorable with the fence and the houses on the background paper!
And I love how you colored in Asha's hair. So pretty!
Love them both Wendy! That Hoopy Birthday one is so bright and fun...super cute!
Wow- you are an amazing colourer;) lol..sounds weird for one grownup to say to another! Love the black hair on both- very striking... Asha's sari is gorgeous!
Great black hair coloring - that's so tough for me! Love how Fhiona is just hoola-hooping in her 'neighborhood' and your Asha is gorgeous!
I LOVE the dp you used on your first card and that picket fence is perfect!!! So CUTE! Your coloring on both just blow me away, and I love all the texture and sparkle!
I love the black hair on your Hula card. It's so shiney lol. The grass she is standing on is cute too.
Your second card is so cool. I love how you colored her dress. It's so sparkly and perfect.
Love both of your cards!

Wendy hoe cute are these!!~
In the first it's the stitching around the edge of your main panel echoed by the stitching on the red ribbon & the way the red is kept as a highlighting colour that I particularly like. My favourite of the two cards though is the second - the way the flowers on her sari echo those in the patterned paper & the little white dots on the black 'gems' echoing the mark on her forehead. Her gold bangles are lovely as is the sahding on her sari.
