I thought I would share another layout I created for PHOTOPLAY, this time using their Cake: Party Animal collection. I really love the colors in this collection. There are three mini birthday collections, and I have to say that even though I have girls (and the other two collections are more geared towards girls), the birthday boy collection would probably go with the majority of my birthday photos from over the years.
First up, I had to find some birthday boy photos to use. I knew I'd have to borrow some from a friend, seeing as how I don't have boys, and the first person that came to mind was Susan Weinroth. She has three of the most adorable boys, takes awesome photos, and I knew the colors she usually gravitates towards would match the collection perfectly.
I really liked the aqua "happy birthday" text patterned paper in this collection (it comes in yellow in one of the other collections), and knew that I wanted to use it on one side of my page. I used the white confetti patterned paper on the other side of my page, and added a few small strips of patterned paper along the center, where the papers meet.
I layered a few additional patterned paper pieces together, to mat my photos onto. I wanted to use the navy blue patterned paper, to add that darker blue to the page, but it comes as a 6x6" square on the "Quad" patterned paper. Since it wasn't wide enough, and I had to work with what I had, I added a piece of the green diagonal stripe patterned paper to lengthen my "photo mat".
I used several of the stickers to create my title, pop dotting both the "happy birthday" and the "boy" banner stickers.
I added the fun little banner sticker in the upper right corner of the page, and also added the balloon sticker below, with the strings of the balloons coming out of my title piece. I dug through my button collection and found some coordinating buttons to embellish the page.
If you aren't familiar with PHOTOPLAY, make sure and visit their website and check out all of their fun collections. I'll share my remaining two layouts that I created for them soon.
Awww...so adorable Laura!!
