(I do not know where this SVG came from. I downloaded it years ago from someone's blog..and I do not remember who it was. I will not share the SVG because it is someone else's work and I do not feel that I have the right to give someone's work away. I apologize in advance.)
 
I used Jaded Blossom's SWEET BIRTHDAY WISHES stamp set for the sentiment and both of the FLAG DIE and FLAG DIE 2.
 
How fun is this hop!? Are you getting a blast from the past? :)
 
I also made Jamie a "J" in fun wild 80's zebra print! Added a touch of glittery tule and it is TOTALLY AWESOME!!
 
 
How about some blog candy!?
