Happy Aloha Friday!
Today I'm jumping back in with a Lilo's Fun Friday share, it's been quite some time. In the midst of all the Christmas crafting I took some time to make a birthday card with one of my pre-made BG cards. This one was a lot of fun to make. I combined two stamp lines to make this card for my friend & co-worker, Doreen.

I did a slight alteration to Big Anya Strolls from TGF. First I gave her a haircut and then I replaced her cute little dog with a bigger cute dog named Kiki from Sister Stamps. I also gave Anya some glasses. Now Doreen doesn't have bangs like her, but she at one time did so I thought hey why not again? :) After I colored both Kiki and Anya I fussy cut them both out and used pop dots to add to my card base. Kiki is colored to look like Doreen's dog Princess who is her pride and joy, I hop I did her justice. ^.^ Here's a close-up of both of them...

Normally when we celebrate a birthday at work, Doreen is the one who bakes for us. When it comes to her birthday, we've just ordered or picked up something in the past trying to give her something she would like. This year I thought it would be fun to ask another co-worker to help me make her birthday dessert. So I happened to ask her if she wanted to still have a fruit tart or chocolate cake from Porto's to which she actually changed her mind. She asked for cupcakes instead. White or yellow cake, any type of frosting with a fresh strawberry on top. I asked if she was sure and she said yes. So for her birthday she got what she wanted and she was really surprised with the results...

Luckily we have several bakers that work in our office so I asked one of them for help and boy did she come through!! The cupcakes were delicious, but the best part was seeing Doreen's face when she first saw the dessert. Priceless!!

Can you believe she did the same to 23 more cupcakes?!! Yep, she's a rock star. Here's a little collage I made including a picture of the b-day girl. :)
