Sugar Pea 1st Birthday Blog Hop

birthday; fiesta

It's P.A.R.T.Y time! SugarPea Designs is so excited to be celebrating our 1st Birthday – and what an amazing year it has been!! We are celebrating this momentous occasion with a Blog Hop featuring our AMAZING SugarPea design team and some very talented Special Guests!




For my 1st card, I used the Let's Fiesta set. I love this cute & fun set. And, that donkey!! Too cute! What can I say, I can't resist any set that has cute critter in it. Even hubby thought this is a cute set. I guess, because it's pretty rare to have cute fiesta set. :)

For my next card, it's all over sweetness. I was inspired by Wendy Ramlakhan's  card HERE. Her card is all teal and I go with pink tone. 



My favorite part of this card? The cupcake. This little cupcake is also on the Fairy Sweet set. And, I used watercolor technique on it and I feel like it compliment the bright fairy perfectly with it's softer look.



Now you can’t have a Birthday Bash without prizes and there are lots of prizes to be won along the way! A few of our blog hop participants will be giving away a SugarPea Designs stamp set so please leave some love on your travels. In addition to this, one lucky winner will be randomly chosen from all the comments left and that winner will receive a:
