Peartree's 5th Birthday Celebrations: Challenge Five - Cinderellabration

Challenge 5 from Peartree's 5th Birthday celebration challenges, is to use the number five on your layout. I used these photo from my day in Disney World Florida, during the 50th celebrations of the opening of the first park. I just happened to be there on 5th May 2005 (05/05/05). the photos show Cinderella's castle.

For this page I used the Floating Birthday Balloons Peartree Cutfile. I cut this from Fussy Bazzill and backed it with scraps of Bazzill in pinks, greens, blues and yellows.

The papers are from Simple Stories - Say Cheese - Fantasy at the Park collection.

The title was cut on the Cricut with paper, then again with Bazzill, and the Storybook font.

I also used cardstock stickers from the same collection.

Peartree's 5th Birthday Celebrations: Challenge Four - Lynn's 6th Birthday Party

Challenge 4 from Peartree's 5th Birthday celebration challenges, is to use just five colours on your layout.I used this photo of my own 6th birthday party showing a few of my girldriends with our heads together over a book. Look at those hair ribbons! 

For this layout I cut the Treat 1 freebie cutfile for the 5th birthday celebrations. Thi!s has five candles, but maybe I should have added another one. 

I used a sheet of 49 and Market paper - Spectrum Gardenia - Painted Foundations - Backdrop. The cut file was cut using black Bazzill, and I backed it with three shades of red and white Bazzill, as well as gold and silver card. 

My title was made with Doodlebug Designs Alphabet Soup letters in Silver. I added a touch of Nuvo Glitter Drops to the dots on one of the candles.

Peartree's 5th Birthday Celebrations: Challenge Three - Orienteers

This is challenge 3 from Peartree's 5th Birthday celebration challenges. We are challenged to make a lyout using 5 patterend papers. I used this photo of my children who were part of the school's orienteering club. 




I used five papers from my stash of Vicki Boutin papers, some of these had many colours printed on them so I was able to use several shades of each paper to give me enough colours for the whole cutfile. 

The Peartree Cutfile is called 'World of Wonder' and is from the September 2022 Pearscription.
The cutfile was cut from white cardstock, and the land on the globe was filled with some greed cardstock. The background for the layout is        Bazzill. 

My title and date was created with Doodlebug Designs alphabet stickers.
