For my second project, I wanted to finish up a page I had made a while back, but never finished.  So I finished it and decided it would work great in this hop.  So here it is.  I hope you enjoy it.

So now, this would not be a Birthday hop, without any gifts.  I am doing an April giveaway!  There will be three winners picked for some Pretty Amazing gifts.  All you have to do is leave a comment here, and become a follower if you are not already one.  Okay, now on to your next stop with Lisa Norris's blog ~ http://prettypaperprettyribbons.blogspot.com .  Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have a Great weekend.

Why Hippos?  Well I live in a small city just outside of Austin, TX and our Mascot is none other than a HIPPO!  We are known as the "Hutto Hippos"!!! LOL!!  So This is what I created with the file:

Okay so it is not my Best work, and I have a small confession to make, I have not glued anything on yet.  I know, I know!  But I wanted to make sure I got it in on time.  So I decided since this is a two day hop, I will post the completed Layout with more embellishments, tomorrow.  So Please come back to see the finished Layout.  Okay, I'm the last one on the hop, so you are done!

KaDoodle Bug Designs will be having a daily title freebie and a sale during the hop.
