Celebrate 8x8 size

Had this old Studio Calico paper that just screams

P * A * R * T* Y

Funny story - when I cut down these stars I did NOT

do so with the word celebrate in mind.

It just fit and I was all like

WOOHOO!

 And what's a party with a banner.

Oh and the 2017 at the bottom

didn't preplan that either.

Doncha just love it when a plan comes together. 😏

Love how it turned out.

Very fun and festive!

August birthday - she's such a sweetheart.
Tuesday too.

8 inch circle page

You can only do so many squares and rectangles when you

just have to break out of the box.

I did stitch around the edge to cover up my lousy

cut job with scissors.

 And doesn't that bow make you swoon.

Love the doily and kept things simple.

The title and hearts are from Pink Fresh.

And there is Amelia with her pals Tuesday and August snoozing.

Studio Calico, Pink Fresh, die cut bow.

Fussy cut hearts

Love the different colors of the hearts and

tried to match them with some water colors on the page

using the packaging technique.

Kept it simple with a doodlie border.

Amelia with her muttlings all bundled on the sofa.

She looks soooo older there.

Sigh.

Time marches on.
