Birthday Fun: Step-by-Step

Birthday’s--something we all have. Sometimes I find it difficult to put a new spin on the same theme in my scrapbooks. When I found the new Christina Cole papers, I knew I was onto something cool! Her papers make my job easier. As a declared inker, she has already added that element to her papers for a very fun look!

I started with a cute picture of my cuties at their party with almost too many colors and things going on. So, of course I added more color to it making a festive feel to the layout!
