Happy First Birthday sweet Maddy

Last week we went to the first birthday of my great niece. She is the cutest little girl, of course I'm not prejudiced at all, haha.

So I wanted to make something very special. One of our fellow demonstrators Ann Lewis made a gorgeous frame using our new designer series paper that is coming out in the new catalogue in June. I loved it so much that I had to CASE it immediately. Here is my version.

The Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper is adorable and the best part is that it has framelits that can cut out many of the images.

Her birthday card was created with the left over bits, not that you would know they are left overs! I am really pleased with how they turned out.

I also stamped the inside with a collage of stamp sentiments. Do you recognise the Happy Birthday Gorgeous? This stamp is from Beautiful You stamp set. I masked the sentiments before I inked the Happy and used the stamp-a-ma-jig to line each word up.

I have decided that I am going to make this a family tradition. Each year I will make another collage to go in the frame and then the old one can be scrap booked with the birthday photos. I wonder what she will get next year.
