BERRY SWEET - BERRY FIRST BIRTHDAY LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here today and the new Berry Sweet collection is honestly so adorable! I have so many ideas for it and can't wait to create with it again.  When my daughter turned one last year, we had it berry themed and I knew the photos from her special day would go perfectly with this collection! Here's my page, I had so much fun making it: 

To start, I really wanted to use some colored cardstock instead of my usual white cardstock base. I thought it would be fun to pull in more pinks and reds, so I pulled out the Berry Sweet Solid Assortment pack and grabbed both the Cupcake and Ladybug papers. I trimmed the Cupcake paper down to an 11x11 and then matted it with the Ladybug paper. Next, I pulled out my 3" circle punch and punched a circle using the Berry Sweet 12x12 patterned paper. I then took the Sweet Spot 12x12 patterned paper and trimmed a 2x11 strip from it. I layered them together and then adhered everything down. 

My daughter has strawberries on her dress, so I of course had to pull in a lot of the adorable strawberry pieces. I created small clusters with a few of them and since she's just as sweet as can be, I also included a few cupcake pieces. 

To create my title, I pulled a few phrases from the All The Things pack and built it along with some Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers in White. These phrases were perfect for my title! I embellished around my title using a few of the cute mice from the Icons sticker sheet and even included that adorable Berry Sweet Shaker-Pop. My daughter's name is Annie but we've been calling her Sunny since she was a baby and it's one that has just stuck with her. 

Lastly, I went through and started adding some smaller elements to my page. I just HAD to add the crazy cute Bitty Berries Icon Sprinkles onto my page. Gosh, they're adorable!!! I also included some of the Puffy Icons stickers as well. For some last details, I added in some tangled thread and white paint splatters.

Here's one last look at this Berry Cute page!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. I'll see you in my next post friends!

HOMETOWN USA HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Do you have boys in your life? If you do then to help stretch the Hometown USA collection, or any specific themed collection even further, then its perfect for documenting your boys antics!I am documenting my son's 4th birthday from 10 years ago now (isn't he cute?!) but it was great to be able to pull out this photo of him turning 4 and make use of anything birthday related in this collection!

I started with the 'B' side of the Land of the Free patterned paper and trimmed down a piece of white cardstock from the coordinating textured paper pack to place on top. I then cut out a Happy Birthday cut file and backed the openings in the letters with papers from the 6'x 6' paper pad. I was strategic with what papers I put here, making sure not to have 2 colours the same too close together. Once the cut file was all backed, I added craft foam underneath and adhered it to the white cardstock background.

I matted my photo with another paper from the 6'x 6' paper pad and placed it at the top of the cut file also with craft foam for some dimension. I tucked in one of the scalloped circles pieces from the Bits and Pieces pack and also added one of the super cute firework rocket shaker Doodle Pops on the right of the photo.

Below the cut file, I took one of the scalloped border strips from the This and That sticker sheet and placed it just below the cut file. I chose 2 banner pieces from the Chit Chat pack and also adhered these here. I added 3 of the acetate fireworks from the Bits and Pieces pack and I added the circle 4th piece in the centre over the top of the cut file - this piece forms part of my title. I also cut the star border from t he Chit Chat pack in half and added a piece either side of the 4th circle.

Some more stars were added including ephemera stars and puffy sticker stars and lastly I stamped the date stamp from when the photo was taken. I love how my layout turned out and I love challenging myself to create non specific projects with a collection designed for a specific theme!
