Happy 1st Birthday - Bee Happy

I made this double page layout to celebrate my granddaughter's 1st birthday. The photos were taken by my daughter at their home.

For both pages I used a Simple Stories collection called Say Cheese - Classic Pooh.



For the first page I used:
SS - Say Cheese - Classic Pooh - Spledniferous! (border), Sweet as Honey (main background),
4x6 Elements (tags, and letters), 2x2 & 4x4 Elements (letters) and Cardstock Stickers.
Seam binding ribbon - gold
Pollen Sequin Mix - Little Things from Lucy's Cards
Cricut

For page 2, I used many of the same papers and stickers as for the first page. With the addition of:
SS - Say Cheese - Classic Pooh - 100 Acre Wood
My Creative Scrapbook cutfile for daisy background
White, grey and orange Bazzill cardstock

Full of Wonder

I made this layout using the July 'My Creative Scrapbook' kit. The photos were taken back in 1984, when our friends still lived in Tunbridge Wells (they have been living in Devon for many years now).
We went to Groombridge for a walk and lunch and tool a strole around the grounds of Groombridge Place, where this peacock followed us around!

Happy Holiday

I made this layout using the My Creative Scrapbook kit for July. I started off being inspired by design team member Maree Crozier's layout, but my design went in a different direction using tags instead of stripes, so I still have that lovely striped paper to use on another page.

My photo was taken back in 1967, and shows me (7 years) with my sister (5 years) on the garden gate of our holiday cottage in Woolacombe Bay. Happy memories of those holidays, and I remember those dresses so well too.

I chose to use the following items from the kit:
Maggie Holmes - Woodland and Grove collection - Menagerie paper (background)
Maggie Holmes - Woodland and Grove collection - Uniquely Yours (for the tags)
Maggie Holmes - Woodland and Grove collection - Floral Ephemera
Maggie Holmes - Woodland and Grove collection - Stickers

From my own stash I added:
Distress Oxide Spray
Twine
Doodlebug Designs - Alphabet Soup Puffy Letter Stickers - Cupcake, Lily White, Bumblebee & Mint
Sizzix Tim Holtz Thinlits Holiday Words 2 Script die set

Off to make more now!

The photo shows me with my brother and sister at Polhill Garden Centre last year.
