More Challenges at the Birthday Party

Once again Apron Strings Designs kept me inspired and challenged with their birthday party on their blog.  I was super excited to see that I even won a prize last week!  But the best prize is having time to scrap and create.

My first creation, for Birthday Party Day #12: For your layout today, use at least four 1-2" strips of paper; no flames required was actually a birthday card (with flames!).  I make the background with 5 strips of paper.  I really like how it turned out.  The cake stamp is from {The Stamps of Life}. I have already used this set a ton, and it fun for making birthday cards.

My second creation was for Birthday Party Day #13 Today, use the following sketch from Sketchy Thursdays (love this site) on at least two layouts and I had a lot of fun with this one.  I am still waiting for a photo for the left side (from the birthday boy's mom), but I really wanted to work on this layout.

Finally, I combined my work from my class at Big Picture Classes (Yesterday and Today with Ali Edwards) with Birthday Party Day #11 Today create a layout using 6 or more photos - the more the merrier, right?  :)  I've been a bit behind, but I completed this layout for week 9.  This is a day in my life!  It was fun, and interesting, and I think that I will do something like this once a year or so.  It is a nice addition to what I usually scrap about.

So, that about covers it...I can't wait to see what Lori throws at us this week!
