Today is Maria Fischer's 50th birthday! You may know Maria for her blog rieslingmama or you may know her from her countless published cards! I met Maria the way that most of you have, by sharing blog comments. Besides sharing the obvious love of card making Maria and I also share the love of Havanese! When I saw Maria had a new Havanese puppy last spring I had to contact her because I have a Havanese who just turned 10 years old. We shared some cute stories and some training stories too, but no question this breed stole both of our hearts.
Shirley Bampton of Shirley-bee's Stamping organized today's blog and linky party from across the pond. Maria I hope that you have a wonderful birthday and are enjoying your day immensely!
If you would like to link up to the celebration you can at Shirley's blog, she will have the linky for two weeks.
I am also submitting this card to Simon Says Wednesday Challenge--Glitter it and the current Less is More Recipe #164 which is to use three of something.

As everyone knows it is very hard to capture Wink of Stella in a photograph, but I think you can see it clearer in this close up.
