Hello Everyone,
Welcome to our SURPRISE Birthday Beach Blog Hop for Asha! You should have arrived here from Lilian Forsyth!
You won’t want to miss a thing, so you can start at the MKHDesigns Blog to complete the hop for more chances to WIN right here: http://mhkdesignsbymynn.blogspot.com/
We are celebrating a very special lady today by creating beachy birthday cards to wish Asha many happy returns!
This beachy boat and color palette is our inspiration photo for the June/July Challenge! We can’t wait to see what you will create this month!
Hello, Asha, the sea is calling! And the sea wants to wish YOU a very Happy Birthday! The beautiful shell graphic is from the mhkdesigns set, Serene Seaside!
I painted a “sea”watercolor background and used some very special embellishments for a very special card – tiny pearlescent sea shells! I picked up these tiny treasures off the sugar sand shores of the Gulf Coast!
Thank you so much for joining in our hop to say “Happy Birthday” to a dear friend! Your next stop on the hop is Mynn Kitchen!
