Welcome to Flourishes first-ever Birthday Blog Hop Celebration! Jan Marie, the owner of Flourishes is turning another year older and we thought we’d celebrate! Not just with a party and blog hop, but a special stamp set in honor of her day! Let Them Eat Cake was designed by artist Becky Fleck with a Marie Antoinette flair and, just in case you wondered, it’s available now HERE in the Flourishes Store!
So, let’s start our Birthday Blog Hop with a hop back through the decades! When you think back over the last 60 plus years, what comes to mind? Those bell bottoms from the 70’s? How about those poodle skirts and ice cream shops of the 50’s? Blu Ray discs of the 2000’s, or Disco from the 80’s? We thought it would be fun to challenge our Senior Design Team and Friends of Flourishes team to pick a decade and using our new Let Them Eat Cake set, be inspired in some way by that era!
Want to win this new set?
All you have to do is hop on through our celebration and leave a comment on all 14 of our designers’ post this Thursday and Friday. Once you left a comment on all 14, you just need to leave a comment on FRIDAY’S POST saying, “I hopped through the decades with Jan Marie!” We will then randomly draw 2 names on Saturday at 12 PM CST from all those who participated. The winners will receive the Let them Eat Cake stamp set along with some other goodies!
So, get ready for a time warp! Cindy Lawrence is kicking things off with a trip back to the 40′s!




I love it and Happy Birthday Jan, the set is fabulous and I”m sure any of us would love to win it!!

Hi! I was just at Barbara’s blog. I couldn’t leave her a comment because there is not an anonymous choice for the profile for those few of us who don’t have a blog…yet!
Please share this comment with her:
“Great job on this card, Barbara! As soon as I saw your card I thought of Saturday Night Fever and Young John Travolta working his way across that great disco floor they had! The disco ball reflecting brightly! The colors are perfect, too! I loved this decade!

Thank you for an exciting blog-hop! This stamp set is just
so versatile. It is easy to see when we saw your fabulous
design team’s cards back to back. I thought that one of the
flourishes looks a lot like a chandelier…I don’t think anyone
else saw that, though. Great job! Jan Marie, I hope you had
a fabulous birthday celebration!

“I hopped through the decades with Jan Marie!” and I had a great time doing it! Jan I hope you had as much fun on your birthday as I had on the blog hop. I am so thrilled with this incredible new set and I so hope I am one of those lucky winners!
I hopped thru the decades with Jan Marie!!
And what a great time I had.
There were talented designers galore to see.
Some elegance and even some “rad”.
I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful trip.
It really inspired us all.
Reminisced of the times when we sometimes were”hip”
And the new place to shop was the mall.
Happy birthday – love your cupcake card. Simply love this set the more I see it used. TFS
