Birthday Party Layout

Well, it seems I spoke too soon yesterday when I said that the rain had stopped. At 7:00 am, it started back. Just as we were heading to the bus stop. My kids were a bit disappointed that they probably wouldn't have recess today. I guess we'll just have to go to the mall later, so we can get out of the house and burn off some energy. Hey, works for me!

Before I get my walking shoes on, I wanted to share a layout that I have up on the Doodlebug blog today. While the design team waits on the new CHA goodies (Woot! Woot!), we are showcasing our favorites from previous releases. I chose to create a birthday layout with Birthday Celebration, a fun and colorful collection just perfect for some pics of my eleven-year-old.

Birthday Party

My son had his party at the bowling alley, which was a tough place for me to take some good pictures.  The backgrounds were busy, the lighting was terrible, and all those 11 and 12 year olds would not sit still.  Ha!  I did manage to capture a couple of good pics of him with his cake, so I scrapped those.  The rest will go into some divided page protectors.  Yay!!!  Glad to not have all those pics hanging over my head any longer.

I LOVE all the different colors of Doodle Twine that I have, so I decided to put a bunch of it on this layout by way of the birthday balloons.  Too fun!  Oh, and for the "patterned paper" beside my pictures, I used several different Fancy Frills stickers.  I couldn't pick just one, so I just layered them all on there.  More is more, right?  Ha!

More die cuts, more stickers, more balloons, more twine.  Again, more is more, right?  Seriously, though, I just loved all the patterns and colors, so I kept on layering. 

Thanks for popping in today!  Have a good weekend.
