I hope you are all having a great week! We are supposed to get a huge snow storm here in the Dallas area, so here's hoping my school is closed today ;-)
Thank you all so much for the wonderful birthday wishes! I read them all with a huge smile on my face. What wonderful internet friends I have! It was a wonderful present from you all. Also, wasn't that birthday card that Joy made me the most beautiful thing ever! You should see it in person. Those pictures did not do it's fabulosity justice!
Today's layout is one I made for my birthday pictures. It is a one page layout that has room for three pictures. I made is using the Cake Basics cartridge. This cartridge has some really fun cuts on it. For those of you out there that do not know, you can actually use your Cake cartridges with your expression! In fact most of my favorite cartridges are cake cartridges!
 |
| I used the new Sophie line from Close To My Heart. |
 |
| I cut the scalloped rectangle out at 3". The flower is cut out at 2" and the leaves at 1 1/2". '34' was cut at 1 1/2". Stamps used are from Papertrey Ink. |
 |
| This ribbon is from Close To My Heart. |
 |
| This journaling box was cut out at 3 1/2". Then I stamped it using Papertrey Ink and Close to My Heart stamps. |

Hope you had a wonderful Birthday. The page is beautiful. I love the papers that you used. I've never thought of using the cake cartridges before. I'll have to check them out.
Melanie,
Hope your birthday was as special as you are. This is just a gorgeous LO. Paper and colors are fabulous and your pictures will just look lovely on it. Special pages for your special day. Your BD card from Joy was gorgeous also.
It is wonderful to have such great friends.
Marcie
Gorgeous LO. I'm celebrating 34 this year too ;).
Gorgeous layout!!!! That CTMH ribbon is great!
The colors and textures seem to leap off the page; another amazing layout you've created. Here in NY we are anticipating a huge amount of snow tomorrow; I do hope you get that snow day you are wishing for. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
Gorgeous! I love that it is called "Sophie," as that is my granddaughter's name. Her birthday is this month, and it would make a lovely layout to put her birthday photos on. I've been using my Cricut to help her mom make her invitations and some cupcake holders for her party. She will be 2!!! Happy birthday to you, also! :)
Melanie -- think this is my NEW favorite LO! I really like the design and the colors and that three photos will be awesomely displayed!!! WOW! Great job and have a blessed 24th year!!!!
Love the layout - I always seem to use solids and this was a great reminder to use patterned paper for numbers, letters, etc.
This is so pretty, now to change it up for a more boyish look!!! Thanks
love all the details and the colors are beautiful.
Those papers and that trim are gorgeous!
Gorgeous card!! I want one just like it!!!! Only mine would have to have the number 48 on it!! I just celebrated mine and was wondering what to do with my bday pictures!
Beautiful layout. Belated Happy Birthday. May all your wishes come true.
Belated birthday from me too! We are expecting 18" to 20" here in the Midwest!
Great layout-the cartridge looks like a fun one.
It is so pretty for such a pretty girl! I hope it was special!
Stunning! But, how can you possibly think about covering up those lovely papers with photos? Hmmm. Maybe there's a way to highlight both ... Perhaps photos that are hinged. Beautiful backdrop for capturing your birthday memories. Happy belated bday. 34 .. you youngster!
Love this layout. Super girly.

Beautiful layout! I love the Cake cartridges, too, although they are still on my wish list! I love CTMH papers and really miss not being a consultant. I have tried lots of different papers but always go back to CTMH. Really beautiful, and you're right - the best is yet to come!
Blessings, Donna

I love the roses, but maybe this is a stupid question, when they are in a scrapbook, do they get smashed?? Just curious as to how that works...anyway, very cute! I am going to have to get that cake cartridge!
Beautiful layout! I love all of the detail!

OK so I have to ask.... do you have a one page layout for EVERY year of your birthdays??? ;0)
