Welcome to Erin Thiem's birthday party!! I'm thrilled that you're here. It's going to be fabulous! The wonderful Karen Baker organized a super fun blog hop for sweet Erin's birthday which is today! Nine of Erin's blogland friends are participating and, if you're already hopping, you should've arrived from Savannah O'Gwynn's blog. If this is your first stop, there's a great giveaway at the end from Erin herself so you'll want to start at Karen's blog and make your way to Erin's blog. Enjoy!!
Karen created a different sketch for each of us and I flipped mine horizontally so I could use it with one of my new Unity stamps, Spring Flower Chic. Isn't she gorgeous? She's my new favourite Suzi Blu stamp. I coloured her skin with Copic markers and paper pieced her clothes and flowers with Echo Park's Little Girl Collection. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Garden Variety and the thick stitched border is from Sassafras' Stitchery.
So you're probably asking yourself, 'Why is everyone using red and kraft and Emily isn't?' Well, I sat down to make this card yesterday and was so pleased with myself until I re-read the details and then I had a big, "Doh!" moment when I realized I was supposed to use red and kraft. Oops!! Okay, I could blame it on having a rambunctious almost-three-year-old but I'm actually going to blame it on the fact that we're getting ready to list our condo next week. You'll all forgive me, right? I stayed up really late last night to make a new card for Erin that actually uses red and kraft but I didn't like my nighttime photography so I'll send the new card to Erin and post it at a later date. That way she gets a real surprise for her birthday! ;)
Happy Birthday, Erin! I love that so many of your blogland friends wanted to make this day special for you. I hope it's perfect! Now, please hop on over to Yvonne Yam's blog for more birthday fun!

Good luck with your condo sale!
Aw, a perfect sweet card even if it's not red and kraft! You do make consider maybe possibly buying a Suzi Blu one of these days, which is saying quite a lot of your Suzi Blu skilz. I bet it's your fab use of EP paper that is winning me over. :)

This card is totally adorable, Emily! I love how you paper-pieced her clothes. Great pattern choices--and aren't you sweet to make up another card in red and kraft to mail to Erin?? That really will be a nice surprise for her. :) (And just so you know--I have those "Doh!" moments, too. All the time!! I think you handled this with perfect grace. I need to take a page from your book!)
Fantasic choice of papers to use for the piecing! Lovely card :)
This is so cute! I love all the paper piecing you did for this card right down to those tiny flowers! I really like the bling on the sentiment strip too!
Love this Suzi girl. I'm definitely behind on buying her girls.... Love how you paperpieced her clothes... She looks so sweet and it's a wonderful birthday card...

Super card Emily! I love the paper piecing! (Sorry I have been scarce lately but I have family visiting for 2 weeks from South Africa and I don't have much blog time. Will catch up here and there!)
Such a sweet pretty card! Love all the paper piecing! :)
It is such a sweet card. Great job of paper piecing.
You do work magic with those Suzi Blu images, Em! The paper-piecing looks awesome. She would have looked very different in red and kraft. :P Great card!
Just stunning! Love the paper pieced outfit and the heart sentiment strip with the gems. Such a lovely way to celebrate Erin's day!
I just inked up several of these images! Now I'm thinkin' I should try paper piecing her dress, too! Super cute card, Emily--love those stitches! ;)
Aw...isn't she sweet, so love this card!
You are making me fall in love with Suzi Blu stamps, Emily! I should just give in & make a big shopping list after I visit you ;) I love the sentiment flag, and the perfect paper-piecing!
