Birthday Boy Scrapbook Spread


My scrapbook club will be doing this spread this Sunday evening. I conveniently scheduled a birthday theme the month after my son's birthday. :)


I used Bashful Blue as the base for these 12x12 pages. I stamped the party hats from Party Hearty along the bottom in Versamark. Then I stamped the title on an 8.5" x 11" sheet in Whisper White Craft Ink (all except the first letter of course) using the Schoolbook Serif Alphabet. After I got the title on, I ran the sheet through my printer to add the journaling. I stamped the "Celebrate You" from Party Hearty in Kiwi Kiss in and punched it out with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch. I layered that to a Real Red circle cut with the Sizzix circle die and stamped the image again in Bashful Blue and layered that to a Real Red circle too. I layered a piece of 5 1/2" wide Real Red on each outer edge and then layered the Kiwi Kiss over top. Finally I added a "B" cut from chipboard covered with Whisper White using the Serif Essentials dies and added some 1/2" striped Grosgrain and a Jumbo Groment along the bottom edge.
