Good Morning on this fine Sunday and Happy First Day of Spring!!
Today also happens to be the 60th birthday of my dear friend Kim Heggins of Cupcakes, Cards, and Kim!
Another mutual friend, the thoughtful Kylie of Kylie is Addicted to Stamps, has arranged a surprise party for Kim today! There will be treats throughout Blogland and a linky tool on Kylie's blog for you to join in and link a birthday card for Kim!! The InLinkz button can be found here.

From her blog name, it's easy to tell that Kim loves cupcakes and she loves cards. What a lot of us also know is that Kim loves Disneyland! So I made her this card:
This is an image by Emerson Quillin and it's the last in a series of cards I recently made and posted here. I saved this fun one for today because she is wearing Mickey Mouse ears and what better image for Miss Kim!
Kim loves Disneyland so much that her daughter Ashleigh surprised her with a week-long trip there to celebrate her 60th! Here, check out this photo showing all the cupcakes Mickey and Goofy made in her honor!
And here's a wonderful picture of our Miss Kim!
She looks more like 30 than 60,
but she's so sweet,
we won't hate her for her genes!
Happy Birthday, my friend, and many, many more! Here's a special cupcake just for you! (And I'll bet you've made some just like this!)
Kylie is keeping the linky tool open for two whole weeks so you can join the party!!

While I was making Kim's card, I went ahead and made a few other renderitions:
With Miss Kitty.
And Mr. Froggie!
And Ms. Kitty again in their finest black and white.

The above was a scheduled post. I'm just popping in to remind you that I'll be hosting a fun FLOP HOP featuring BIG FAT CARD BOO BOOS on April Fool's Day! I'll have a linky tool and a BIG FAT Prize and I hope you can join in the fun! For more detailed information, please go HERE. If you have any questions, lemmeno.

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*

ReplyDeleteLove your cards!! I just love that sentiment!
ReplyDeleteFantastic card for your friend's surprise Bday hop! I especially love the, what appear to be, Converse Allstars she is wearing on her feet! When I was about 15, I had a pair of blue suede Converse Allstar Hightops - they were fantastic - and I wish I still had them because I would still wear them!!! lol
ReplyDeleteThe Mickey Ears are also a wonderful touch, lol!
Take care,
Shanna :)

ReplyDeleteA most FABULOUS card and post for our darling Kim! I love that she loves Disneyland; young at heart in every way! Your various renditions are mighty imaginative, too, especially where Miss Kitty is involved. Such a cute fluff ball! The Mickey Mouse cupcake? Oh my...yummo!

Hope you're doing okay; love and hugs coming at you!

Such a fun card for Kim and I just love the two mice sitting next to her. Your other renditions are brilliant too but that Mickey cupcake has stolen my heart.... how wonderful is that! Wishing you a great week my friend... Hugs, Annie xxx
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome card for Kim, she is going to love it. I agree she looks more like 30 than 60. I was shocked when I heard that.

The card you made for Kim is perfect for her! I've seen some Disney inspired items popping up on her blog from time to time, so yes, indeed perfect. Very much like the black and white version too with the fat (sorry, overweight) cat.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun bunch of cards. Thank goodness for staying young! (even when you're old).
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Kim, and what a fun card to help her celebrate! I just LOVE those tiny mice with the big bulging eyes, but all the critters look cute on each card too!
ReplyDeleteWho will be very happy to see this all-ears, mouse, cookies, yum ... Great surprise.

Love, Love, Love your adorable cards. I like that you made different ones with fun little critters. My favorite is Kim's card with the mice!! I cannot believe that Kim is 60!! She does NOT look like it at all!! How fun that her daughter took her to Disney!! I will be posting on my blog about your hop too. I almost had a card for your hop BUT I fixed it and covered it up. It was for an upcoming DT spot and just do not have time to make another one. I am sure you know how that goes!! Thank you for stopping by my blog!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Perfect card for Kim - I can imagine her squealing with delight! LOVE LOVE LOVE The Mickey Mouse ears and fun sentiment - even a border of fireworks! This is amazing Darnell!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Darnell, great fun image and love the background.
ReplyDeleteWow she looks fabulous, not a line or wrinkle, I look like a road map.
Thanks for your comment on my NBUS, didn't expect one, knowing how you were situated, you are too kind.
Have a good week.

What a sweet idea to organize a birthday party for Kim! I like it. And I like a card that you created just for Kim. Also other cards with the same main motif are superb.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week.
Hugs,
Sonja
Awesome card designs. I like the reference to the Mickey Mouse Mouseketeerss too.
ReplyDeleteYour series of cards is so fun and the sentiment so true!
ReplyDeleteAll of your cards are so great!!!
ReplyDeleteI do like the enamel dots for the mouse ears :)
Our darling Miss Kim is going to absolutely adore these cards, pookie-pie. They are fabulous! What a great image, and I love all the little critters helping her to celebrate Kim too. And those cupcakes look delicious! Who knew Kim knows Goofy and Mickey well enough to party with them?!! She's going to love this! Have a great week sweetie. Miss you. Bev
ReplyDeleteOh you clever clever gal!! Love this fun image and those teeny little mice. Kim is going to be tickled pink!! Terrific cards Darnell!
ReplyDeleteI love all your renditions, my favorite is the the singing frog! So fun. What a lucky girl, Kim is.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful cards Darnell - I am sure Kim's will be appreciated! love your cup cake - and yes, I can at least tell of a boo boo even if I haven't photos!
ReplyDeleteBlessings

What a great array of cards! You've certainly been busy, my dear. I love them all, cuz' they make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteKim will absolutely LOVE this! The mouse ears are so adorable!! Great design, especially with the addition of her little mouse friends!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun cards ..... love the image, those ears are fab. You're never too old for Disney ..... and as for that cupcake well all I can say is Yum!! Have a lovely week xx
ReplyDeleteThe card you made for Kim is too cute,I love it! I totally agree with you Kim looks more like 30 and I almost fell off my chair when I heard she was 60 thought it was another Kim! Have a good week ! I hope your mister is feeling better and on the mend!
ReplyDeleteThat is a bevy of fun you created in those cards. All the critters seem to be enjoying themselves. Love the sentiment. I don't have time to be old myself. Every once in a while I look in the mirror and say "WHO IS THAT?" I must have looked at a wall hanging or forgot to put my glasses on. At any rate, Have a great day and an even better week.
ReplyDeleteLove, Hugs and Blessings,
Jim
