Happy (Belated) Birthday Kim!

We've another sneaky unteller of birthdays among us! Yes, you heard right! Besides Anita, we have Miss Kim of Cupcakes, Cards and Kim who didn't let on that her birthday was upon us. Silly girl! We LOVE to party, and such a sweetheart to celebrate, too! So in my own fashion, I'm throwing you a little party, Kim, and I hope you enjoy it!

Hmmmm......let's see......


Since Kim loves soup, and it's been a long, cold winter, let's start there. A few yummy varieties -- I know!!!...Let's make this a SOUPER BIRTHDAY PARTY!!! Mmmm-mmmm Good!

Cioppino Seafood Soup (recipe for broth, to freeze) then heat it up with whatever seafood desired.


And naturally, we need some good, hearty bread to go with our soups...

Gotta have a card to go along with all this lovely food and sweet cupcakes. So I decided I'd try to CASE one of Kim's cards. Her cards are amazing, and I'll admit that I fell madly in love with this one:




So Kim, Happy birthday, and here's hoping you have the best year ever! : )

Deepti said...

Susanne Vargas said...

Oh my, fortunately I just ate otherwise seeing all this delicious food would have made me hungry! Love both versions of those cheerful cards!

Tracey McNeely said...

Yummy Bev and Ii bet that this is a party that Kim will love! Excellent CASE of her card too!

Shannon J said...

You throw the best parties!! And what a lovely card you made to go with all those fun party pictures!!!

Geri said...

Okay, you are sooooo the Party Planner Queen!!! It is 10:12pm and I SHOULD NOT be thinking about heading to the freezer to snag a bowl of ice cream...but after seeing all those yummy cupcakes...well, you know...

Awesome post Bev! Soup and cupcakes - great call! And your card is the absolute perfect CASE of Kim's card! Is your stamped panel all individual stamps or one big stamp? If they are separate stamps...then WOW! If not, then it is still a WOW for such a perfect impression with a large stamp!

Your post has made me humgry! LOL!
Wonderful card -- great CASE!

You are party-organizer extraordinaire! I'm not much for soups, but the third one did have me re-thinking my non-soupiness. The bread and cupcakes...bring 'em on! All of them! You've celebrated Kim's birthday with style and flair! As for your card: stunning, gorgeous, awesome! Love it!! Hugs~c

Anita in France said...

Oh Bev, you're such a sweetie! I probably shouldn't say I'm drooling at all those yummy looking soups, nor craving a hunk of each delicious bread ... and I'm definitely not eyeing up those cupcakes trying to decide which I'd eat .... first. Ok, that's a bit of a fib ... I'm doing all that! You certainly know how to throw a party, my friend (another one!) and how to CASE Kim's sweet card! Your's is so brilliant ... love how you've subway art-ed the sentiment panel and added spring time joy with the yellow, polka dots and the sweet daisy! And how on earth did you get Kim's name on there?? Amazing! Hugs, Anita :)

Joyce said...

Wow--I am hungry now. This is the most delicious post ever. And, such a sweet card, too. Wonderful party you threw for Kim. Sorry to be so tardy.

Darnell said...

Hi Bevie, Sorry I have been MIA this week! Darn colds hit harder and take longer to get over than they used to do! You threw a mahvelous party for sweet Kim and you did an incredible CASE of her super card with a super card of your own! Love how you computer-generated that cool looking subway font. At least, I think that's what you did. AWE-some!! Hugs, Darnell
