10th Birthday Layout (#37)

These photos from Ansley's 10th birthday always make me smile! The one of the two girls is one of my favorites, and the two of her blowing out the candles are just precious! Check out her Grandmother in the background. I'm not sure who was having more fun!

My layout is based on the Rhapsody sketch from Wishes.

The cake, sentiment, and balloons are all from the Everyday Celebration card kit stamp set (available only through the end of the month). Can you see the prisma glitter on the candle flames?

I also used the Celebrate sentiment from my Cupcake Sprinkles stamp set and the invitation stamp from my Party Invitation stamp set.

I love making these "birthday candles." I used my Boutique Numbers stamp set and then the "flame" is a petal stamp from the Friendship Blessings set. The flames also have a touch of prisma glitter for extra sparkle. These are so much fun on kids' birthday cards!

The layout & cards at left can be found on p. 8 of the new Autumn/Winter '09 Idea Book. The Jingle paper pack that I used is this year's must-have holiday paper pack! For the birthday layout, I just used papers that were festive without screaming Christmas or winter. The colors I used are Tulip, Creme Brulee, and Blush. I also pulled out a little Blush and Creme Brulee ribbon for accents.
