Birrrrrthdays!

I hope everyone is staying warm. It sure is cold here, although I think we are a bit warmer than most. That is, if you can say 8 degrees is warm! I am thankful for the sunshine today. It has been so dark and dreary with no sun the past week or two. Have you noticed how dark my photos have been? Today is Friday, so I will have two posts. This one is for Stamp Something! This week our challenge is a Birthday theme. This week you do get to stamp! You are to stamp and create something related to Birthdays. I did a some scrapping this week, so I have a page from Nicholas's 1st Birthday party. I had a ton of pictures so I made a two page layout. All the party supplies used at his party said, "The Big One". I played off that and used it for my title. The layout came from this sketch by Amy in the Unity Friends Forum.
I used some of my favorite retired SU papers, Cuties Pie along with Pomegranate cs and ribbon. The cupcake stamps are Unity. The huge circle was created by tracing the back of one of my dinner plates, it was the perfect size for this 12x12 page. For the right side of my layout, I finally got to use a layout I've seen many times. It is a great way to present a lot of photos and it was perfect to show some of the fun Nicholas had opening his gifts.

I cut all the squares to 2 1/2 inches, was able to use 6 pictures and three different patterns of dsp that I used on the left side of the layout. I added some ribbon, buttons, and cutout cupcakes to embellish those squares. Have a wonderful Friday and stop by the Stamp Something blog to see what other fun Birthday ideas the DT came up with. Don't forget to play along for a chance to win some Blog Candy from Starving Artistamps! Link your creation to Stamp Something by next Wednesday to be entered to win! Have Fun!

Hugs, Lisa
