I really enjoy doing layouts lately though, probably because I can get that much closer to filling the boys' albums! I decided to do this layout page because his 1st birthday was pretty generic (poor 3rd child). I didn't have a theme or do fancy invitations, so as you can see in the picture it was all about presents and cake! I wanted to use cuts that I could emboss as per the Whimsical Wednesday Happy Birthday Challenge. I am also entering it into the Paper Sundaes Challenge #69 Happy Birthday Christine!
I had a lot of fun with this layout! I would have normally only used 1 balloon (since he is only 1) but I thought that looked funny! I also stuffed some tissue paper behind the gift bag to make it look like a real gift :)

George and Basic Shapes Cart - Sentiment

ReplyDeleteI laughed at your poor 3rd child thing...but I think I gave it up after having 2 so close together. Fun parties flew out the door. LOL!
Ok, back on track, LOL...the page is super fun and great cuts you've chosen!
And I like being a little behind on scrapping (like yesterday worked on a newborn page for my 2 year old! LOL!) but its fun to relive the memories while you scrap!
So glad you played @ WW and I got to see this!!!!
