The hop is one big circle so when you get back to me you will know you have completed the hop! Oh what fun I had with this stamp!!  Once I made my first card, I just couldn't stop!!  I have a nephew that will be having his first birthday soon, so I had him in mind when I created this card.  I used our Stargazer paper.  This paper just says boy's birthdays to me so I knew it would be the paper I would feature with this card. If you are wondering about the polka dot paper and where it came from in the pack, it is one of the cut apart PML cards!   I used this card as my starting point and built up from that.  BTW, I used Pattern #7 from our new Make It From Your Heart Vol 4.   I stamped the "1" in Sapphire ink and then stamped it again in Ruby in....
