Step-by-Step: 33 Balloons

I thought using a number as the main element of the title for this layout was appropriate as the photo is full of balloons! This fun party photo is such a good example of how kids can make their own fun. Lauren had a puppy-themed birthday party and the kids had a fun idea to see how many balloons it would take to make an inflatable puppy float. The exact number is 33! The photo called for fun and colorful products to complement it.
