Since the cake had so many layers, I decided to go with that theme and layer a lot of paper together to create this layout. Lots of layers in the flowers and several layers of background paper.
All of the paper is from Lily Bee and the alphas are from Cosmo Cricket and Jenni Bowlin.
Hope you're weekend is going well!
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a great weekend!
For the pleating, I cut three 1" x 12" strips of paper. I folded some of them so that the reverse side of the paper would show. I used a glue stick and some glue dots to get the pleats to lay flat and neat. 
What do you think of the photos? I took them of my son after church one Sunday when we were visiting a friend who had just had a new baby. I looked outback and saw him jumping on the trampoline in his suit. He looked so happy and I just had to take a few photos to help me remember the moment.
I decided to take pictures of everything that came in our last basket. We've tried new fruit and vegetables and we always have healthy options around the week after getting our basket.
Yesterday I had some time to play with the March Scrapbook Circle kit and I used this photo for this layout.
I love the new Jenni Bowlin banner stickers and bingo letters. So fun!
Can't wait to get some more playtime with this kit!
It kind of tasted like a green bean. It wasn't great, but wasn't bad either.
This afternoon I had some time to play with the upcoming Scrapbook Circle March kit! The colors are so bright and happy.
I made one layout with the kit tonight that I will share tomorrow after taking a photo of it in decent light.
I love that my mom gave me three boxes of these jars. I'm having so much fun altering them. I'm also enjoying using my silhouette to cut out fuzzy vinyl shapes.
Here's a look at the birthday card I made to do with the jar.
I used up some old Basic Grey paper and a Making Memories sticker. I love using up older products!
I enjoyed this delicious veggie scramble. This was so good. They also serve lunch here , but I think their breakfast is better than lunch.
We spent the evening at my house for dinner, presents and a delicious lemon coconut cake that my sister made. The weather was so nice that we decided to eat out on the back porch!
Here's a look at the birthday card I made for my mom.
I used up most of the last scraps from my Scrapbook Circle February kit. I loved using the label shaped paper as the base for the card.
This next notebook is a little smaller at 4 x 6 inches.
I'm pairing these two notebooks with a new set of markers for Lucy's birthday. Too bad her birthday was two weeks ago. Need to get these in the mail!
Each roll was only $1. At that price, I had to get one of each style.
It was a fun project and my daughter did most of the work!
This afternoon I put valentines together for my family to give on valentines day. Here's a look at the cards. I just love kraft paper. I used that a a base for each of the 4X4 inch cards.
I love the Fancy Pants Valentine paper with all of these small valentine cards that I used on these 3 cards. Just love the colors and playful style.
Anyone have any fun plans for Valentine's Day?
Each of the kids got a heart box filled with their own cookies. How lucky!
With the help of my Silhouette, this came together really fast. I just typed out the word "sweet" using this dingbat font and used Saru's Dingbat Flowers too.
The tag is from the Pink Paislee die cut sheet in the January SC kit.
I'm thinking that my friend who is having a baby could use this jar to store her baby's hair bows after her baby is born.
I love the the wrapping is part of the gift and will last longer than the cute 3 month sized clothes inside the jar.
I used this House of 3 Valentine Dingbat font along with my own fonts that I have on my computer. I just typed out the images I wanted and let the Silhouette do all of the cutting work for me.
The first thing into the jars was sugar. Rhonna did this on some similar jars and I loved how it looked! What do you think?
I then layered Valentine M&Ms (both plain and peanut.) I also put in a few dark chocolate M&M's. The dark chocolate comes in shades of purple, pink and white. Love the purple!
I topped the M&M's with chocolate covered pretzels. Costco is selling big bags of Hershey's chocolate covered pretzels right now. They are so delicious, I had to show serious restraint not eat the entire bag myself.
All of these jars came together last night. Super easy and fun!
As a kid, I thought that I needed a heaping tablespoon of sugar poured over the grapefruit to make it edible. Now I love it plain. Delicious!
I had to cover both sides of the banner because it was going to be hanging where both sides would be seen. Here's a look at the back of the banner.
I had fun incorporating a few black and white baby photos into the banner. I think it adds a nice personal touch. Each banner piece has a photo dangling from it.
Here's an up close look at the back side of the banner.
It was so fun to create a project for this sweet little baby!
