Birthdays in August!!!

A match  made in heaven....I have SO many birthdays in August when Tracy asked me to  have a play with the new Kaiser Save the Date papers - I cheered !!!!  I have my sister, my Mum, my son and my niece and an Aunt!!!!    Yeah I know - my  credit card hates  this  time of year!!!!

And this year my Mum turned 70 and my  son turned 13 so significant birthdays to be celebrated!!!!

I love the colours in these papers - seriously  they are fabulous  versatile papers - I have used them for my son and my Mum and they suit both !!  So today I will start with my sons layout......

I love white cardstock backgrounds but I cant help myself - I usually  have to mist them or ink them !!!  This one was  glimmer misted with fabulous green glimmer mist -  Tracy has the BEST  prices for mist - I promise!!!

I then cut the Milestone paper and drew around the outside edges  and adhered it to the left side of the cardstock.

  I loved the Cheers  paper and the different  bits you could  cut from it - I  used the large scallop for Lachlans  birthday layout.  I have also handcut the "time to celebrate"  scallop journal box.

I then cut some of the pinwheels from the Cheers paper and using brads I created some little pinwheels.

I also handcut some of the balloons from the Streamers and raised these up on popdots. 

One of the many things I LOVE  about Tracys store is that there are always   fabulous embellishments to add something  unique  to your layout.   In this case  I have added the  funky little Happy Birthday pins and a gorgeous  wooden button - I added some red twine and  a  cool  little ice cream charm .  To balance the red twine  on the button - I also  glued some loopy twine at the top of the layout  . 

I love using the bonus strips of paper  you get with Kaiser papers now and I have used these on this layout  for added texture   with my pinwheels!!!
And here is the finished product!!!

I will be back later  with another birthday layout  featuring my Mummy!!!!!  In the meantime check out the fabulous range of papers HERE!!!!
