Class by Anabelle & Prize Drawing #6

Here's some fun facts about Birthdays from Anabelle:

What is your favorite birthday cake? I love all kinds of cake. But, anything with chocolate and peanut butter would have to be my favorite!

What was your most memorable birthday? There have been a few birthdays that have stood out. I think my 38th birthday is probably one that I'll always remember. I was five days away from having my son, so I was as big as can be. My parents, husband and mother in law took me to dinner at my favorite restaurant. It was a really fun night and definitely the best "Birthday" gift I ever received! My birthday now is definitely overshadowed by his ;) No more big family dinners for me. It's all about his party. But, I wouldn't have it any other way!

Do you like surprises? I love surprises! But, I've never had a surprise party for me before.

How do you like to celebrate? With friends and family! Give me a great margarita, warm chips and salsa, lots of laughter and the people I love, and I'm a happy girl!

What is your favorite childhood birthday memory? Every year my mother would make me a great cake. She was always experimenting with different shapes and sizes. One year, she made a castle complete with green coconut grass, Peeps and jelly beans. (my birthday is often right around Easter) Those cakes were really special!

Instructions for Butterfly Box:

1. To create the butterfly, pour a few drops of Tiger Lily Glimmer Mist into a cup of water. Use a brush to paint it onto the Glimmer Chip. It will create a light colored background. Once dried, spritz the center of the butterfly with the Glimmer Mist. It will be darker in color leaving you with a mottled look on the butterfly.
2. Paint the edges of the butterfly with Mod Podge. Add glitter.

3. Spritz a cream colored flower with Rouge Glimmer Mist. Cut in half and add to butterfly. Add chipboard flower and rhinestones.
4. Spritz paper with Glimmer mist and stamp tag. Cut out, ink and add to window tin that has been tied with tulle.
