Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday, fellow carder
Lovely lady, and friend, too!
Today is the 38th birthday of Kim Heggins of Cupcakes, Cards and Kim! Our mutual friend, Joyce (top of the hop list below), initiated this fun birthday card hop for our little friend. We've kept our hippity hop tribute a surprise, which was not easy for me, so I'm pretty puffed up about not spelling beans and posting blogs inappropriately out of shedule.
I'm still getting to know Kim, so I'm sure you will be amazed at the detecting skills I used to gopher out the inspiration I used for my card for her:
- I'm going to go out on a limb and say that she likes cupcakes.
- Having enjoyed several months of her wonderful card postings, I believe that she likes Disney, especially Mickey M. A lot.
- She has a red wall that she uses as a backdrop for her card photos.
So I made her this:

Mwah!

Ugliest Card Ever!
Another blogging friend, Suzanne Dahlberg, of the card yard posted that she wants to host the Ugliest Card Ever Blog Hop on her blog to celebrate all of the stamping fools who have some crafty regrets when they look back at prior work. The hop will take place on April Fool's Day, but of course.
How fun will this be?! I'm helping Suzanne give everyone a head's up since (gulp) April lst is just a couple of weeks away. (Don't even think about it.) If you are interested, please click over to Suzanne's blog to read more details and to leave her a comment that you will be playing.
It would be great if you could also spread the word on your own blog and then start backtracking through it for your ugliest card. Most of us know prezactly which one that is!! Oh, haha, don't take that wrong. I mean, we don't know which one is your ugliest, we know which one is our own ugliest!

It'll be a hop hoot and I hope you'll throw pride to the wind and showcase that bad boy, baby!

Enjoy Kim's birthday today, wherever you are! (You get to eat a cupcake and the calories don't count! Tell 'em I said so.) No, seriously, enjoy! LITS*!

This is adorable - love the Mickey cupcakes! Hopping over to wish Kim a happy day!
My great-nephew calls them "pupcakes", Mickey or not, and now it's a family word... Your pupcakes are brilliant, and I'm sure Kim will love them! They look mighty tasty! Bev
Such a fabulous way to help celebrate your friend's birthday.
Your card is wonderful. I love the Mickey cupcakes and gorgeous bright colours.

The perfect card for Kim Darnell, you know she loves Mickey Mouse and all things Disney! I love your Mickey cupcakes.
Oh you are just brilliant Darnell! I think you got it 100% right - love those Mickey cupcakes and yes, even the red background!
Seriously, only you could come up with such a fabulous design - MM cupcakes - love them and what a lovely surprise for your friend too.
I think the ugliest card is going to be very funny - I have not dared to keep any of my early stuff (too ashamed) but will be playing along in my head...... Hugs, Annie xx
Why on earth would you assume Kim likes cupcakes…. I cant believe I did a cake. Darnell this is an adorable card!
That's so totally adorable! What a great tribute within a card :) Love it!
And an ugliest card hop...oh gee. There are so many I would pick...gonna have to start thinking about it now!
Oh gosh, Darnell I have a sneaking suspicion Kim is going to LOVE this card! It is perfect! I am thinking I am going to have to CASE it. Stinkin' adorable.
The ugliest card hop sounds like fun. Will have to go find my ugliest card. haha

Thank you again for coming to Joyce's party blog hop, I am so honored to have you as a guest! Thanks again for the cutest card ever!!!
You are just the sweetest to figure out what Kim likes so you can give her a custom card. It turned out perfectly, right down to the the red background! Those Mickey heads in the cupcake wrappers are just adorable!
