Mad for Markers Birthday Blog Hop!!

Good afternoon! Thanks for joining us for Mad for Markers Birthday Blog hop... we are pleased you have come along to help us celebrate 2 years at Mad for Markers !! If you came here from Susan's blog then you are right on track ... If not please go over to the M4M Challenge blog to start the hop....:)
 I decided to use a new M4M  birthday image - Birthday Girl (which you can get right now from the M4M online store) and wanted her to be the star of the card so kept it pretty simple!!
I embossed the base card with happy birthday, then just added a ribbon down the side, the balloon brads, added some thread for the balloon strings and tied it around birthday girl's wrist. I then just added, flowers and rhinestones!! I'm entering this into the M4M category!!
 I had planned to make more but time has just got away from me but my five year old son decided he wanted to make a card with the M4M Birthday Boy image (who you can also get from the M4M online store)so this is what he created!!

Logan coloured in Birthday Boy with his whisper markers and Copia ciao marker E02. he added lots of birthday brads, pirate button and an aboriginal turtle!! :) He's very proud of his creation that he worked so hard on!!
There's no junior category but will put this into the M4M category also!!

There will be prizes for people who hop along .. hidden on blogs throughout the hop so make sure you leave a comment on every blog!

Now it's time to head on over to Sam's blog. Enjoy the hop!!!

    What a lovely thing to share with your son. Being crafty must run in the family as both cards look great.
