It's our First Birthday and we want to celebrate with you!!

If you're here to get your party on, you're in the right place!
We are super excited for the new team of Girl Fridays to officially make their inspiration parade debut, and we have all sorts of fun and surprises in store for you this week!

A few days ago, we had a little poll on our facebook page asking this question:
Which gift should we give to our players in honor of our first birthday?

                                A. Longer playing time

                                B. Chance to win a prize by commenting here on the blog

                                C. Chance to win a prize by commenting on the fb page

After carefully analyzing the data provided by our facebook fans, the clear choice is...
aw what the heck... it's our birthday, and presents rock, so let's do them all!!!

But before we do presents, let's talk challenge...

CFC51:  It's our birthday and we would love to see your

Nina Yang

All things paper make me happy! I am a stamper and card maker with a passion for 3D paper crafts. Origami was my entire craft life until I discovered stamping in mid 2011. I love trying out new techniques and new tools.

When not in the craft room, I am constantly seen on my Mac, iPhone or iPad :”)  I enjoy taking photos and playing with Photoshop and Illustrator. You can find some free digi paper and printable templates on my blog: http://waffleflower.com
