AARON's 30th / PTI Blog Hop & Mojo #131...


Well, today is my baby brother's 30th birthday... sure makes me feel old!



This is my first Papertrey Ink Blog Hop! I've been looking forward to it all week... I thought Julee's Mojo sketch would be perfect for this card! To hop along, you'll probably have to register...

I used PTI's Father Knows Best, along with some of their vintage buttons! All the dsp is retired Stampin' Up!

Gotta go feed Maisie, cook dinner & bake Aaron;s cake for tomorrow. Not to mention all the other mom stuff I do until the wee hours of the morning!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
