Celebrate

April 16, 2022

Today’s page shows off some photos from my Mum & Dad’s birthday lunch this year. My Mum turned 85 and Dad turned 91. For the left hand page I cut a circle from some retired “blue” 12″ x 12″ card that I had in my stash and attached it to a Very Vanilla 12″ x 12″ page. I attached Night of Navy card across the right hand side of this page and the left hand side of another Very Vanilla 12″ x 12″ page. I attached three larger photos to Basic Black card before layering them down the right hand side of the first page. I attached a strip of Crumb Cake card beside the left hand edge of the photos. I attached the two smaller photos to Basic Black card and attached them to the left hand side of the page. I added a strip of Night of Navy card below the two smaller photos and added “celebrate”. Celebrate was cut from Very Vanilla card using the retired Celebrate You Thinlets. I cut a circle from the same “blue” card using the Layering Circle Dies and embossed it using the Bouquet of Love Embossing Folder.

I stamped the greeting from the A Grand Kid stamp set onto Very Vanilla card using Night of Navy ink. I attached the two circles together before attaching them to the left hand page. I attached two large and two smaller photos to Basic Black card before attaching them to the right hand page. I cut the same “blue” card using the heart die and the Bouquet of Love Embossing Folder and slipped it underneath the top edge of the photos. I printed the journaling onto Very Vanilla card and attached it below the two small photos on the right hand page. I cut a circle from the “blue” card and embossed it using the Bouquet of Love Embossing Folder before attaching it to the right hand page. I stamped the greeting from the Party Puffins stamp set onto Very Vanilla card using Night of Navy ink. I trimmed the words and attached them to the embossed circle.
