So we are busy getting the kids ready for school as well getting ready to celebrate birthdays. In our family we have many August B-days. Lets see Damien's, my moms, my sis Valeria, my bro Ben, and my sweet baby girl niece Mercedes (o.k maybe not so much a baby any more).
I had a ton of FUN with her taking her pics for her b-day invites. She loves the 4 x 8.5 digital invites I do and this is what I came up with this year.
Now Isn't it so bright and cherry I thought to myself this would make a FAB physical layout so that's exactly what I did. Using digital products by Vera Lim and the background paper is Oh Baby! Basic Grey.
Here is this weeks Random Chaos # 25 layout. I am so in luv with the SEI Poppy line and I used some of the pics from the fair of Damien and Isabella.
These last few weeks have had a lot of Fantastic opportunities. Some I can talk about and some I cant just yet. Suzy West just asked we to travel to Brazil with her to help teach. How EXCITING and what an experience that doesn't come often in a life time !!!!!! Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer that the arrangements work out :' ) . OK I also have a little something special for my Blog Readers. We are having a contest at Cut Card Stock.com . It will be posted with Pubcalls and on the site but not till the 1st.
