Welcome to Flourishes first-ever Birthday Blog Hop Celebration. Jan Marie, the
owner of Flourishes is turning another year older and we thought we'd
celebrate! Not just with a party and blog hop, but a special stamp set in
honor of her day! Let Them Eat Cake was designed by artist Becky Fleck with a
Marie Antoinette flair and, just in case you wondered, it's available nowHERE
in the Flourishes Store! If you are just joining us please start the blog hop HERE.
My year is 1950!! I wanted to showcase some of the things seen back then. When I researched the 50's
I saw a lot of black and white check tile. I also saw cool color combos so here is my card to celebrate
Jan Marie and the 50's!
So, let's start our 'Hopping through the Decades' celebration! When you think
back over the last 60 plus years, what comes to mind? Those bell bottoms from
the 70’s? How about those poodle skirts and ice cream shops of the 50’s? Blu
Ray discs of the 2000’s, or Disco from the 80’s? We thought it would be fun
to challenge our Senior Design Team and Friends of Flourishes team to pick a
decade and using our new Let Them Eat Cake set, be inspired in some way by
that era! If you just happened to see this post but want to play along in the hop please stop by Julie's
blog before hopping on.
Want to win our new set? All you have to do is hop on through our celebration
and leave a comment on all 14 of our designers' post this Thursday and Friday.
Once you left a comment on all 14, you just need to leave a comment saying, "I
hopped through the decades with Jan Marie!" Here. We will then randomly draw 2 names
on Saturday at 12 pm CST from all those who participated. The winners will
receive the Let them Eat Cake stamp set along with some other goodies!
So, get ready for a time warp! Cindy Lawrence is kicking things off with a
trip back to the 40's!
Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is Christine!
