Birthday Bestie

Hi guys! 
First of all how nice is this summer weather? I am loving the summer sunshine and hope it lasts!

Right so onto scrapbooking, this is another birthday layout and its focused on me and my best friend. Lauren has been my best friend since primary school so roughly 16 years, and since we've grown up and moved into our own homes in different villages spending time together is limited at the moment. So here we are celebrating my 20th in the garden with wine!.



The 12x12 patterned background is Pink Paislee Paige Evans Fancy Free #2 paper and I love it, its like a doodle page! The cluster and the entire layout is made up of all four kits. 

Beautific Main: 
Pink paislee Paige Evans fancy free #2 paper
Jen Hadfield Everyday Sticker Sheet
BAZZILL basics Tropical Cardstock

Cloud Nine Embellishment Kit:
Jillibean Soup Blue Adhesive Sequins
Pink Fresh Studio Puffy Alphas 

Blissful Lite Kit:
Millie and June Puffy Dot Stickers

Festival Kit: 
Custom Cards

And the packaging! Yep the blue spotty tissue paper the kit came wrapped in!


The photos on this spread I joined together by framing them on plain white Cardstock and the matting a layering on coloured Cardstock which happened to be a really warm light blue. I loved the stay cool card with the sunglasses and animal print from custom card kit so instead of cutting it up as I do with most cards I kept this one whole and slotted in underneath the picture of us 'being cool'. If anyone knows me well, I have a slight obsession with Ampersands (&) and I try and get at least one on my page if possible. This one featured here from the Jen Hadfield Sticker Sheet i adore as its lined with gold foil. The sequins were a new thing for me as I have never had adhesive sequins before, they are brilliant for a quick embellishment and also bring in the blue from the backing cardstock and spotty tissue paper.


Here you can see a full view of my completed layout. The tissue paper I mentioned is the backing piece  behind the photo. I finished off with the Alpha stickers which i really like in the bright yellow and they match in with bright sunshining day in which the pictures were taken.

I hope your all enjoying your kits, and there's more to come, see you soon!
