Birthday Girl

Designer: Sherelle Christensen

Let's face it...we all have a lot of birthday photos. I love scrapbooking in 9x9 format because I can print out a cluster of photos on my home printer and include a lot of photos, in a little time. These bright Cloud 9 products made the perfect accent for Gracie's fourth birthday photos, and the coordinating alphabet stickers made it simple to embellish the page. I also used the That's Amore Squeeze Punch to punch out three hearts which were then arranged to look like a flower. I simply added buttons for the flower center, and viola...I completed a birthday layout.
