[Birthday Bash] A Beary Bookmark Gift Set

Hello Neat & Tangled fans! We are at Day 20. How is this month flying by so fast?! Depending where you are today, you can sneak in a challenge entry for our Unbirthday Birthday challenge. A guest designer spot is on the line...! So you might wanna throw your hat into the ring...

Eat Cake Challenge #19 Hints
Alrighty then - here is another fun idea for our Challenge #19. I dare you to take the musical staff from this set and make a cake out of it. Imagine a two tier cake with the base the full length of the musical staff and masking 2/3rd the length for the top tier? Color it in with some gorgeous color pencils or markers and add some sequins to embellish the cake.



Right? You know my ideas could work...

Anyways, today we have Marybeth on our blog. Marybeth caught our attention with this little card. It really deserved a Top Tangle, and we decided to invite her back to show her take on the Birthday Bash Extravaganza. And it doesn't disappoint.


Welcome to neat & tangled 1st.  Birthday Bash.
 I was so honored be a Guest Designer.

The sequins are what first drew me to neat & tangled, then I fell in love with this adorable set.
 Little Bear


I also made a book mark to include in the birthday card. 
The thing I love about this set is you can stamp the images, leave them blank…. and little one will love coloring them in.


The bookmark has magnets on the inside to hold your spot.


The options are endless with this adorable little set.


Wow, anyone would love to have this dear little gift. I adore the bookmark and I love how it has magnets to really hold your place! And I'm still one of those who loves the feel of a good book.
