Today is Melissa's Birthday and as a design team we wanted to send her greetings and wishes for a wonderful day.
There will be a birthday giveaway at the end of this post, so be sure to read through to the end ☺
Carolyn decided to make Melissa a necklace featuring our Melissa Frances Crown Jewel (BR002) as the focal point. She packaged it in a handmade fabric pouch which she tucked inside a vintage cigar tin.
Evgenia's card features our 5th Avenue Collection along with the Birthday flash card.
Emeline made a bright and cheerful card featuring our Kitchsy Kitchen papers along with our beautiful White Pick (GN517).
Our 5th Avenue Collection and cardstock combine for a simple, yet sophisticated card from Johanna.
Taleneted Francophone Fabienne used our "happy Aniversary" rub-on as Anniversaire is the word for Birthday in French! This card combines our Kitschy Kitchen collection with our blue/white (GN464) and Cream/white (GN466) crepe paper garlands, and our cream (GN530) and pink (GN529) pom-pom trim.
From Sherrie here is a 5th avenue Shabby-Chic styled card.
New mom Rachel, fashioned an adorable banner on the bottom of her 5th Avenue card for Melissa.
Melissa Phillips made Melissa an over the top vintage-shabby card combining our 5th Avenue Collection with buttons, stamps and trims.

Happy Birthday to you, what beautiful cards they have all made for you.... Now go and blow out those candles and we know there are only 22. :)
