Michele's 50th Birthday Hop


Hello.....


and welcome to the
  "Michele is turning 50 Blog Hop"


Such a nice round number, half way to a Century. :)

You should have arrived here from Mary's blog, 
but if you encounter broken links, you can always go to Cas-ual Friday's to see the entire hop list.

Michele is not only a great woman, she is also my Breast Cancer Sistah.
Not really something you want to have in common, but it is what it is.

So of course I wanted to make it personal by putting her name all over those 

H U G E 

numbers.




Wanting to add some flowers, I chose the beautiful florals from the Mon Ami set and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers.
A bit of Sparkle marker was added to give it a little something, something!



Border is from the Bold Wishes set.
Sentiment from the Frankly'isms set.

There are quite a few stops along the way, but make sure to comment on each because Michele is giving away 5 prizes and we don't know which blog she will select from.
Commenting ends at 11:59pm April 23rd.

OMG, BEAUTIFUL! I have to be honest and say that this is my favorite so far and I'm close to the end. Personalizing her name and age is AMAZING! I would like to know if you wrote out her name every time. Lol. This is Gorgeous!!!

Sheer genius to make patterned paper with her name for the HUGE 50... Ha! Gotta love it, even if you are hating the age ;-) Brilliant idea... will be stowing this away for my besties 50th in a couple years, though I have to be careful to be nice about it... my 50th is only 6 months later!
