I have two layouts to share with you today. This first one features a friend's child whom I scrap often. This picture was perfect for that "I was made to be awesome" journal card. This is a simple grid based layout.... something that works well with the PL cards.



 Isn't that photo hilarious! She was playing with the blow dryers at a dog salon. I added a few embellishments from the kit on the cards. I love the wood veneers that were included in the kit. So fun!


This second layout will be on the JustNick Studios blog tomorrow.... you get a sneak peek at it today.  I had to do a birthday layout with the gorgeous balloon paper. It was my favorite from the PinkFresh Studios Happy Things collection. The tassels in the kit were begging to be on a birthday layout too. This one features my nephew (ok,, in truth... my great nephew, but that makes me sound old, lol). His Mom made him this awesome eyeball monster cake with cake pops. I was lucky to catch a picture of him blowing out his candle.
This week Nicole Nowosad challenged us to use 4 different JustNick cut files. These are the 4 that I chose....



I like to create stencils with the background cut files so I can use inks to add interest to my background. I choose the Shattered Glass Background for this because I wanted to focus on triangular shapes throughout my layout to coordinate with the pattern papers from the PinkFresh Studios Happy Things collection.



 Another cut file with triangles is the Basic Banner. Banners really add a festive element to the layout. These banners have such fun repeating shapes too.





To help frame my photo, I chose the Doodle Frames cut file. I cut only the outside of this frame. And how cute are those macaroons!



Of course with a birthday layout I would need a birthday title. The Card Sentiments 1 with the "Make a Wish" caught my eye for my photo of my nephew blowing out his first birthday candle.



Thanks for stopping by. The next stop on the hop is Kim Allen.
