InStyle Stamps birthday tag hop

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIRGINIA!!
The InStyle Stamps design team are having a surprise blog hop to celebrate our boss Virginia's birthday. We have all made a tag with a letter on it to spell out a banner.

You should have arrived her from N . If you have arrived here on the off chance, or have got lost on your way, go back to the beginning of the hop, at the Instyles blog as there are a couple of prizes up for grabs if you hop across all the blogs :)

Here's my tag, using the gorgeous Mellie, and my letter is E.

If Virginia were in my town (Warrington, UK) on her birthday I would take her to Bents Garden Centre for afternoon tea ... their cakes are amazing, and very yummy (we wouldn't need to do the plants bit!!) and then onto The Raven pub for tea. The food is stunning, but the puddings are to die for :) I am a bit biased as I mind their little girl .... get a few freebies, recipes and tips though! You may have noticed a foodie theme to my day ... you've got to eat gorgeous food on your birthday :)

Since this is a Birthday Blog Hop, we can't leave you without a chance at a party prize! So here are the rules.
1. Start at the beginning of the blog hop with the letter H.
2. Comment on each Design Team's blog because they need a little love and increase your chances at the party prize.
3. Go to PaperYumness and wish Virginia a Happy Birthday.

The deadline to win a digital image is Sunday, July 18th at 8:00pm Pacific Time.

That's all you need to do! The prize???? Not one, but two! You might win either one by commenting on a blog. Good luck and hope you have fun all along the way!
Now you need to carry on the hop and go to N.

Cathy what a sweet card. The color purple is one of my favorite's and reminds me of my sister who bleeds purple!

Thanks for being a special part of this day! I'm glad you are on the dt and I appreciate you so much. Thanks a bunch.
