A Happy Birthday with Little Hippo

Wow!
What a great day already. I have been super busy this morning and I still have more to do on "the list". My list is going to be all about crafting today. I want to get to visiting everyone and chatting with those I have missed. I need to work on sending e-mails too. I have a ton I need to respond to. Sorry for the delay, but you will hear from me soon.
 
I made this card last night, but was nodding off before I could finish the post. I wanted to make sure everything made sense and was spelled correctly before sharing. I am hoping the pictures looks bright enough since I took them late.
Isn't she too cute in purple and yellow? My favorite is the gift bag on her tail.
Materials:
Bo Bunny paper ~ Sun Wash Calico (yellow)
Creative Imaginations paper (purple)
white card stock
Create-a-Critter Cricut cartridge ~ hippo (p. 44) cut at 2 1/4", gift bag (p. 30) cut at 1 1/4", and sentiment (p.27) cut at 1"
purple polka dot ribbon
purple button
yellow craft thread
purple gems
wiggly eyes
 
I am quite thrilled since I was able to pile on 8 different challenges.
 
Challenges:
Tuesday Morning Sketches

Have a FABULOUS day! I am off to get some more crafting done. How exciting! Hoping there are a bunch of new challenges posted already.

Stay Creative,
Georgiana

    Making the hippo out of patterned paper is such a great idea. She looks so cute. Love the shopping bag hanging off her tail! Has to carry it somehow, right?
    Thanks for entering our very first challenge at Cut It Up!
