Amy Jo's Birthday Bash & Blog Hop

-
Good morning, fabulous friends and welcome to Amy Jo's Birthday Bash & Blog Hop! We are so excited you could join us today to help celebrate Amy's birthday!

This is a very special unique hop as we were not required to just stick with one particular subject or theme. Amy asked us all to use any of her favorite things to create a card or project with that in mind. Some examples of Amy's favorite things are the colors black, white, and hot pink, along with anything Alice in Wonderland, she listed some of her favorite animals, etc!

If you arrived here from Dana's blog, then you are in the right place! If you just happened upon my blog today, please start at the beginning with Amy Jo's blog  Scrapping, Card Making and Living with Fibro because you don't want to miss out on the fabulous prizes that are being sponsored!

This is a two-day hop; however, we are only making one project. That should give you two full days to go through the entire hop and leave comments on each blog and become followers of each blog, if you are not already, to be entered to win some of our sponsored prizes! Some blogs may be offering blog candy as well so this is a hop you're gonna wanna finish!


To make this card I used the zebra from the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge because zebras are one of Amy's favorite animals. I thought this little guy was so cute and he went well with the pink glitter paper I had in my scrap drawer. Yup, it can be worth it to keep your scraps. The birthday sentiment comes from a Stampin Up stamp set. I used Versamark ink and white embossing powder. Adding a zebra print pattern paper, from DCWV's The Animal Crackers paper stack, behind my pink glitter paper and some black fiber finished off my card and my project for this fun hop!

Thank you so much for joining us and helping us celebrate along with Amy! Your next stop is the talented
Creative Kuts!

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder . I looked into this War binder thing a little more closely and decided that that is exactly what I wanted to do with my Planner. I spent a lot of time looking around on FB and Pinterest to get ideas and eventually just decided that I just needed to start it.  I have struggled with making time for Bible Study and prayer in th
