Our theme for today’s party is bears and/or celebrations. Our grandson, Dylan, just turned one at the beginning of May. We had a wonderful party and I took lots of pictures; so I decided to create a two-page first birthday layout featuring his and his Mommy's favorite bear -- Winnie the Pooh! Here are the details and the cartridges used (remember, you can click on the photos to enlarge them):
Pooh & Friends
Frame - cut at 5" wide by 7" tall.
Pooh frame topper - cut at 3" tall.
Doodlecharms
Party Hat - cut at 2 1/4" tall.
Gift Box - cut at 2 1/4" tall.
Cupcake - cut at 2 1/4" tall
George & Basic Shapes
George & Basic Shapes
"1" - cut at 5" tall.
Squares - cut at 3" and 2 1/2".
Calligraphy Collection

"Happy Birthday" - cut at 5" wide (using the shadow feature).
Just Because Cards
Just Because Cards
File Folder (journaling block) - cut at 3" wide by 3 1/2" tall.
The large frame will hold a 3" x 4" photo -- I left the sides and bottom unstuck. The six smaller squares will hold a 2 1/2" photo. And the small file folder is for journaling. The base 12" x 12" sheets are Bazzill Splash; the patterned paper on top is by Deja Views - Sharon Ann Collection, "Baby Boy Tiny type" and the bottom paper is "Vroom, Vroom" by Frances Meyer, Inc. Everything else is from my scrap stash. I used a mylar starburst embellishment and a sticky-backed rhinestone on the party hat, a little chalk here and there, yellow ribbon from Michael's and some pen doodling to finish it off.

I really need to a real scrapbook with pages...I have loads of pictures of my grand girls and need to at least try doing some full pages. They look like so much work...a card just looks easier because it is smaller I guess.
ReplyDeleteAwesome layout! I love Winnie The Pooh!
