Julie’s Princess Party Hop!

Today is a special day for the Flourishes Family to celebrate our Birthday Girl - Julie Koerber!  And Julie is definitely worth celebrating!  She’s the right hand on so many levels of what’s beautiful about Flourishes, and we’re so grateful for her and blessed to also call this lovely lady friend.  

This summer a number of the Flourishes Senior Design Team girls gathered for a weekend in Yellowstone National Park.  It was a fantastic time of fun!  One of the great things some of the girls did was go Whitewater Rafting.  Because there were family members along, Julie graciously said she’d sit in the middle of the raft so the kids could get the most out of the experience.  The raft guide however thought that would be a fun opportunity to tease Julie about her “Princess" status.  She gracefully took it and we love to tease her about it - and so the idea for this Princess Birthday Hop was born!  Julie we love you and your fun, spunky spirit, and also the warmth and grace you live your life with!  Happy Birthday from all of us at Flourishes!  

These pictures just make me smile at the memories of the weekend!  

And here’s my Birthday card fit for a Julie Princess :)  I used Flourishes Make A Wish set because of course it’s got that perfect princess theme.  

I stamped the pillowed tiara onto Flourishes Classic Kraft with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured it up with one of Julie’s favourite tools - Prismacolor Pencils.   This fun colour palette sings Julie to me :)  It’s the very lovely MME  - Up and Away designer paper.  I even sanded the edges of the sentiment oval (cut with Flourishes Perfectly Pierced Victorian Ovals die) just like Julie often does so expertly, and then laid it all on Flourishes Classic White cardstock.  It’s such a lovely heavy cardstock that it makes a great card base.  

Some matching seam binding, feminine lace and enamel dots to finish the design.  

Happy Birthday Julie - you are such a special friend to me.  You are a talented, resiliant, and faith-filled woman!  We have laughed and cried together, created and planned, prayed and dreamed, encouraged and organized.  I never expected stamps, paper and ink to bring me such a great friend.  Bless you sweet lady!  

We invite you to hop along today with many of our Flourishes Family to see our pretty Princess and Birthday inspiration, and join in on our wishes for Julie!

Comment along the way and you could be entered to win any Birthday set of your choice from the Flourishes Store!  Winners will be chosen and announced on Saturday November 23rd on the Flourishes Blog.
