  Happy summer everyone and welcome to the Blast From the Past - Taylored Expressions Blog Hop!!  The list of participants are at the end of this post.

This month is zooming by isn't it?  I'm looking forward to visiting all the blogs. Talk about a talented group of women, I'm always inspired after visiting everyones blog.  Well enough of the chit chat, I'm sure you're anxious to get to see all the fabulous blogs and then head outdoors to enjoy the first week of summer.  We have plans to take the little grandkids clamming this morning.  Poppa does the clamming, I take the pics and stomp the sand! (ha)

I've used my very favorite and the very versatile Make A Wish set.  So many possibilities with this set.  This card could be a birthday card but it's optional with the sentiment I used on the inside, it could be used for an all occasion July card! 

The ingredients follow but I did want to share that the blue button is colored with a Copic Marker (B29) to make it two-toned to coordinate with the bottom layer of the cake. The top cake layer is frosted with Ranger Liquid Pearls (white opal) and the background (white) was embossed with the Stars embossing folder (Cuttlebug, ProvoCraft). I stamped the image on the white card stock twice. One I colored and then cut out each layer. The other one was embossed then die cut, the colored cutout cake layers added then adhered to the colored card stock. Finished size A2
