Birthday Princess Rio Surprise Blog Hop

Today is Miss Rio's birthday!  Sho nuff!  As you may or may not know, Rio is Betty's daughter and she's 14 today.  I have to tell you, this young lady is one of the sweetest, most mature young ladies that I know.  I had the distinct pleasure of spending time with her during the recent CHA Convention in Anaheim, CA.  I was very impressed!  Betty, our fearless leader, is an amazing mother and her children are a wonderful reflection of some great parenting! 

In honor of Rio's birthday, we are doing a surprise blog hop.  So, SURPRISE!  Betty, being the loving mother that she is, designed an image specifically for Rio called Birthday Princess Rio and that is the image we are previewing for you today from the new Simply B Stamps Teen Scene Birthday Munsters.

Currently you are here.  You should have landed here from Jennifer D.  Your next stop is with Lelia.  If you get lost along the way, here's the complete order:

Starts at SBS
Lea (Me!)
ends at Suzi's blog


Now, on to my card.  Yes, it's another simple card but I think it's cute and I know Rio will like it.  You see, I happen to know Rio likes rainbows, tutus, cool socks and cool shoes!  This one is right up her alley!  My base is Bazzill, my rainbow paper is K and Company, the yellow dot paper is Lasting Impressions.  My image is on Neenah and colored with Copics.  I added some chipboard letters spelling her name.  I used some tulle for my "ribbon" and added some Star Dust Stickles to it for a little sparkle.  And there she is, Birthday Princess Rio!


 
Please hop along with the rest of the design team, we love sharing our creations with you!  Thanks for stopping by and if you leave me some love, you know it will make my day!  By the way, the last time I saw Rio, she was wearing a rainbow tutu! 

 Happy birthday, Rio, love ya!

Hugs,
Lea
