Today is a special day for the Flourishes Family to celebrate our Birthday Girl - Julie Koerber! And Julie is definitely worth celebrating! She's the right hand on so many levels of what's beautiful about Flourishes, and we're so grateful for her and blessed to also call this lovely lady friend.
This summer a number of the Flourishes Senior Design Team girls gathered for a weekend in Yellowstone National Park. It was a fantastic time of fun! One of the great things some of the girls did was go Whitewater Rafting. Because there were family members along, Julie graciously said she'd sit in the middle of the raft so the kids could get the most out of the experience. The raft guide however thought that would be a fun opportunity to tease Julie about her "Princess" status. She gracefully took it and we love to tease her about it - and so the idea for this Princess Birthday Hop was born! Julie we love you and your fun, spunky spirit, and also the warmth and grace you live your life with! Happy Birthday from all of us at Flourishes!
My banner is a Spellbinder's die. I added a little bejeweled brad and outlined my crown with my Atyou Spica clear glitter pen and voila.....a card fit for a Princess!
I had so much fun playing along today! Julie, I hope you have a wonderful birthday and thank you so much for all that you do for all of us! And I also want to give a little shout out to Tosha Leyendekker....Happy Birthday to you too!! Hope you enjoy your special day too! :)
Comment along the way and you could be entered to win any Birthday set of your choice from the Flourishes Store! Winners will be chosen and announced on Saturday November 23rd on the Flourishes Blog.
And don't forgot to drop by Julie's place to send her your Happy Birthday wishes too!

This is so pretty! I really like how the banner curves opposite the crown base and the coloring on those flowers are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastically creative princess card! I just LOVE that cute crown with the jewel on top, and it looks so smart with the pretty flowers. Beautiful coloring, but I have to ask...did you plan for the color palette to match the photos of the rafters? :) You're so freakin' GOOD!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely one of the most creative, beautiful, and special things I can think of, Katie. And after seeing what you all did this summer, well... that's why Flourishes and their design teams are some of the very best in the paper crafting community. Delightful card - I loved it!!
