Birthday Layouts with Let's Party!
Hello! It's Jennifer [1]and I'm happy to share two layouts I created using the very fun and colorful Let's Party [2] collection! I love all of the prints of this collection because it goes with just about any theme! Of course, its perfect for your birthday photos!
For my first layout, I wanted to scrap a special photo of my daughter on her 10th birthday (double digits!). I placed a 11x11 sheet of white card stock over the green and white dot print of Yippee [3]! I then cut different sized stars with my die cut machine using a few of my favorite prints! I layered them diagonally across my page and stitched the edges of a few with my sewing machine.

I used this cute die cut sentiment from the Bits and Pieces [4] for my title! I used a few pop dots to give it some dimension over the stars, as well!

I thought this Numbers background would be cute under my photo! You can find it in the Silhouette shop for Simple Stories here [5]. I used the teal color of the Make A Wish [6]sheet which is great contrast with additional bright colors of the collection.

I layered a few of the die cuts from the Bits and Pieces over my stars, as well as added Bradz, Enamel Dots, and some wooden veneer stars from my stash.

Using a star as a template and embroidery thread, I stitched two stars into my background! I love how they turned out!

The Bits and Pieces pack has a few colorful journaling tags which are great for documenting about your photo!

I know I'm guilty of not doing enough pages that are solely about me! For my second layout, "43", I scrapped about my last birthday! I love layering the different patterns and embellishments across my page!

I used one of the cards from the 3x4 Journaling Card Elements [7] to document about my day! I added number letter stickers from the Expressions Cardstock Sticker Sheet as well as added a cute chipboard candle. I also layered a colorful banner sticker underneath, as well as added more fun embellishments!

I am a huge fan of the Chipboard Frames [8] and love incorporating them into my pages! I used one of the smaller yellow/white stripe frame along with die cuts from the Bits and Pieces and a cute banner Bradz.

How fun is this star banner die cut!? You receive four in the Bits and Pieces pack; I thought one would look cute stapled above my journaling!

The Fundamental Cardstock Sticker Sheet [9] has many fun birthday themed shapes to choose from including this cute "let's party" tag!

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my pages and it inspires you to do some creating with Simple Stories! Have a great day!
