My Best Birthday Memory - Better Living Through Scrapbooking


For the November Newsletter at Better Living Through Scrapbooking we were asked to scrap our favorite birthday memory. We were asked to choose 2 of the following elements for our project,


Options:
1. Paint on your page using object other than brush (pencil eraser, q-tip, bubble wrap, etc)
2. Make an embellishment entirely from cardstock
3. Use multiple layers of cardstock for a photo mat - try ripping, using a border punch, die-cut machine, etc, for fun!
4. Journal on a shape
5. Use a very bright color palette - vibrant yellows, reds, blues, and greens!




When I read that BLTS wanted us to scrap our favorite birthday memory I was a bit stumped. I don't really have any. I don't have very many memories from childhood and I have never really made that big of a deal out of my birthday as an adult. There is, however, one very special birthday that I will never forget! It's the day that my daughter Carson was born. That was the best birthday in the world. I created this layout for her letting her know how special that day was. I chose a bright color palette of greens, pinks and blues. I also used several different layers of cardstock for my photo mat. Topping it off is a great bird button from our sponsor, Charlene's Button Box


Sponsor Supplies Used:
Cardstock: Discount Cardstock "Eggplant Felt 12x12 and Brilliant White 80#"
Adhesive: Plaid "Mod Podge Sparkle"
Embellishments: Charlene's Button Box "Bird button"
Additional Supplies Used:
Paper and embellishments: All from Little Red Scrapbook "September 2010 Kit"
Tools: Border Punch "Stampin Up", Signo Broad "white gel pen"

You rock, the minis, the layouts, the cards, the altered projects... in other words... you just rock!
