child’s
birthday
As your children grow up, you'll discover
that the theme of their birthday pages
will no doubtmature, too. Butwhile
they are young and still think bright
green frosting is super cool, it is your
chance to use childlike embellishments
and vivid colours, as Kelly has done here.
Inspired by her whimsical polka dot
background, Kelly die cut and paper-
pieced several birthday-themed circles,
which she combinedwith paper punched
circles, and positioned on her page. And
just as confetti livens up any party, she
sprinkled on enamel dots, brads and
other small embellishments for added
page pizazz.While the circles drive the
theme of her layout, the adorable
photos of the birthday boy are the
heroes of thiswell-designed page.
