IT'S BIRTHDAY TIME!!!

Today the creations I have to share with you are about birthdays past and present.  First is a layout that I did of my Mom's 85th birthday.  It was a treasure to find these photos as it was shortly after this time she started the downhill spiral into Alzheimer's and passed away two years later.

For this layout I started out with Let's Get Sketchy Team B January Week 4 sketch -

 
 
and the selections for Picture This! January 15th challenge calling for 3 photos + black & white + lace

I am also entering this into Rochelle's Celebration challenge at Sketches4All which called for celebration theme and border punch.

Here is my layout -

and some close ups -

 here's my lace

 and this is a double border punch topped with satin ribbon flowers


 
I thought these stickers would be cute but I wanted them to stand out so I stuck them onto black cardstock and then put them on with pop dots for dimension.

I thought it was fun to be able to use this cute little camera button I had which mimicked the one on the sketch.

These items are also pop dotted for dimension.
 
This weekend we are celebrating my son's girlfriend's 22nd birthday.  I absolutely love Kathryn and know that someday she will make a wonderful daughter-in-law.
 
I chose sketch #382 from Mojo Monday.  It called for using a tall & skinny card.
 
Here's the sketch -
 
and here is my card -
 
and a few close-ups-
 
 
 
I am also going to share these over at Word Art Wednesday for their challenge #168 Anything Goes.
 
I hope you have enjoyed celebrating these birthdays of the past and present with me today.  Thanks for stopping by.
