First Bike Birthday Party Layout


Hello friends. I am back with a surprise part two of Monday's post - Avaleigh's birthday party.  I scrapped a total of four pages on Avaleigh's second birthday party.  The first two pages where shared on Monday as my Bitten By the Bug 2 birthday themed project.  Today I have two additional pages.  The first page features the Schwinn Roadster Tricycle that "GranDoug" and I gave to Avaleigh as a birthday present.  The second page is Avaleigh and her parents celebrating. 

Let's begin with the Cricut details. I used two cartridges on these pages: The fun double layer font is from the Carousel cartridge, and the tricycle is from B is for Boy.  I made edits to each of the cuts. 1. I removed the open diamond shape from the top layer of the letters.  2. I cut the bottom layer of the bike twice - once in black and again in silver grey.  I then snipped apart the silver layer and assembled to make the bike more closely resemble Avaleigh's bike. 


As you can see in the photo progression above, Avaleigh loved her bike. Her cute cousin was the first to comment on her bike.  When we brought it in, Seeley shouted, "COOL!"

I used the same paper for these two pages as I used on the first two pages.  I also used the cardstock stickers "YOU ARE Sweet" on the last page.



Donut Birthday Party Brunch


Hey there.  Welcome to this week's Bitten By the Bug 2 Birthday Challenge post.  My sweet and talented Design Sister, Marti (who is out on break), chose the theme of this week's challenge - Birthdays.  This worked great for me as I had photos from Avaleigh's second birthday party in January to scrap.

Avaleigh's mommy did a fabulous job planning Avaleigh's birthday party. Avaleigh's favorite thing is Donuts! So how fitting was it that she had a donut themed birthday party brunch?  There were glazed donuts, frosted donuts, jelly filled donuts, and donut holes!  Of course there were other yummy brunch foods, but lots and lots of donuts!


As luck would have it I had the perfect Cricut cuts and the perfect paper to scrap Avaleigh's party photos!  I used two cartridges, Love You a Latte and Cricut Alphabet for the Cricut cuts.  There are other donut cuts on different Cricut cartridges, but I really liked the sprinkled donuts on the Love You a Latte cartridge.  Avaleigh's favorite donut is the frosted with sprinkles donut. So perfect.  I also had the perfect paper for this layou. It has donuts printed on one side, and ice cream cones on the other side. 


I  used the very basic Cricut Alphabet cartridge for the title cut.  I like the double layer title - the shadow is always a nice touch.  There was so much else going on with the layout that I wanted a non-complicated font.
