Happy Birthday Suzanne!!

Hi Everyone, Today Color Me Creative Classroom is doing a hop for our very own Suzanne Deans Birthday!!

If you came here from Jenns blog (Jax Bean stalks) then you are on the right track:-) Each of us has made a card in Suzannes honor and is in the Teal/Aqua theme! 

and to have a little fun we have all added the arrangement below to keep our wonderful Boss lady/Friend laughing:-)

Do you know this beautiful person????

Oh wait... ooops...wrong one.   Sorry.  Do you know THIS beautiful person????

Arrrrghhhh... that's NOT her!!!!  Wait wait... let's get this right!!!!  Do you know HER?????

THAT'S her!!!!!!! YES!!!  The BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!!  Oh and honestly... yeah... those pics above... yep... those REALLY are her too!!! If you know Suzanne J. Dean... you KNOW this!!  

Today is Suzanne's birthday and well, we ALL KNOW, Suzanne would NOT want to celebrate a birthday any other way than with her favorite country star AND a favorite sports star!!!  Right???!!!  

And also today, Suzanne's, Color Me Creative Design Team wanted to take a little of her time to show her how much we enjoy, appreciate and love her by hopping along to share a little birthday fun and creativity with her.  Join us in wishing her that the next year is filled with even more memories and love than anyone could ever hope for!  

The design team went with a "Teal/Aqua" theme today.  Suzanne had mentioned her desire to "look like a mermaid"... LOL... so heck, we'll play along.  (Old age is old age, peeps... just smile and say... "that's nice, honey." LOL)

         Ok, Here's my Birthday card for Miss Suzanne,  read on ......

   

 Ok, Miss Suzanne,  I added "Teal/Aqua" to my card as I didn't have any paper that was totally "Teal or Aqua:-) But My Cutie image that is a Saturated Canary image called Party Hardy has a tone of Teal/Aqua in it, The card is en-route to you as you read this:-) Don't laugh when you get it as it didn't fit in the square envelopes I have here so ...well you will see:-)

   Suzanne my friend, I hope this Birthday is filled with laughter, and many wonderful memories! I want to thank you for allowing me to work on your team, These past few years have been a highlight for me and I look forward to many more, We all could not live with out your Zany adventures, you sure are Fun to have in ones life:-) Haha Please know that you mean the world to me, I am so thankful for your friendship and inspiration XOX
