Birthday Basics DSP = A Perfect Layout For An 8 Year Old's Birthday

As always I had HEAPS of photos to scrap for my daughter's 8th birthday and the new Birthday Basics DSP was the perfect paper to suit the theme.

I firstly scrapped using these 3 patterns in the DSP pack (balloons, candles and numbers) and added some balloon embellishments with my oval punches:

Then when I flipped these exact papers over, they all matched beautifully too! So, the above layout is for her album, and the below one for mine. The one below needn't be a birthday theme, but would suit any photos.

 

(Both these layouts are using Pear Pizzazz as the background colour, both photos taken at different times of the day, one with a flash, one without, hence the colour variance.)

Scrap Club Round 2

This round we are using the new 2012-2014 In-Colours and matching them up with Stampin' Ups! new 'Patio Party' patterned paper.

 

The Scrap Club ladies will receive a mix of scrapping cardstock, patterned papers and the Petite Pennants Builder Punch, which if they were involved in my first Scrap Club last year, will co-ordinate with the stamp set they received 'Party This Way'.

 

And if that's not enough, October sees Stampin' Up! holding a free ribbon give-away, so everyone will receive a whole roll of In-Colour ribbon for free! They will get the choice of colour of 3/8" (1 cm) Stitched Satin Ribbon-a $15.95 value.

 

Here is the layout I created with the papers and punch and my choice of ribbon 'Midnight Muse'.

 

 

New In-Colours Scrap Layout

I just love Stampin' Up's new In-Colours recently released and here I have created a layout using all of them (plus Pool Party as my background). I have also used the new hostess stamp set 'A Cherry on Top' to create not only the cake stand, but also a little trick I found whilst googling, a very cute glass.

 

I thought this layout would suit either a birthday, baking or an adult party or theme, depending on what stamped image you use. It would suit a male or female page. You could also ditch the stamped image and just put a main photo in the middle and cropped photos around the edge, matted in the new In-Colours and change the theme completely.

 

A very versatile layout for lots of photos, or just a few.

Below, instead of the wine glass and the Summer Starfruit matting, I have changed the picture to a cake stand and used white matting.
