PHOTOPLAY: It's Party Time

Sorry for the long absence from blogging. The past few weeks have kicked my tush, and I just haven't had much time for creating. I have worked on some layouts, but a lot of them are ones that I'm not able to share at this time. And then life got busy with a visit from my sister, lots of family get togethers, a few vacation days with Joe and the girls, a new daycare baby in the house, and just normal life stuff. Hoping to have more to share soon, so that I can get back to blogging more often. 

I recently created a few layouts for PHOTOPLAY, using some of their most recent collections. I have one to share today, and hope to be able to share the other layouts soon. I created this layout using a mix of two of their Cake collections - Cake: Panda Party and Cake: Rainbow Sprinkles. 

I really love all the black and white in the Cake: Panda Party collection, along with the touches of pink and aqua. I love how colors really pop against black and white, so I'm already a big fan of using black and white on so many of my layouts. I also added in some yellow from the Cake: Rainbow Sprinkles collection, and pulled additional pieces of pinks and aquas. 

I used THIS layout design as inspiration for this birthday layout, as I knew using circles of patterned paper along one side of the page would give me the perfect spots to add some of the fun stickers from the collection. 

The collections have some great cut apart cards on one of the patterned paper sheets, and I love that there's a good mix of 3x4's, 4x6's, 4x4's, and even a 2x4' card. I used two of them here across the top of the page. 

I had to dig deep for some birthday photos. I have TONS of birthday photos, but the majority of our birthday parties have been pool parties, which means that most of the photos are of the girls in swimsuits, wet hair, and in the water. I lucked out and found some photos of Sarah at her 9th birthday party that coordinated perfectly. 

If you aren't familiar with PHOTOPLAY, make sure and visit their website and check out all of their fun collections.
