Birthday Banner

I decided to make a Happy Birthday Banner to display during the week of any birthdays occuring in our household so I whipped this baby up in no time at all using the Perfect Pennants Die!

A project like this is also a great way to use up scraps from retired designer series paper and cardstock.  It looks lovely up, I might just have to try a Merry Christmas one too!

JAI Scrap #7 Challenge - Hidden Journalling/Memorabilia

I've missed out on the last 2 challenges so have made an extra special effort to make sure I didn't miss out this time around!

 

The challenge this month was Just Add Hidden Journalling or Memorabilia.  It's quite fun to hide things on your layouts, make pockets for memorabilia etc.  This double layout is about me turning 40 recently (eek!) so I've used this challenge to hide a journalling tag attached to the butterfly.  I have written down some of my feelings about hitting this milestone.

This was also a great project to use up lots of retired DSP, Ribbon and Brads and was inspired by this elegant layout by Kay Kalthoff.
