HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday to Scrapbooking From the Inside Out. If you're here for the blog hop then be sure to start @ Melissa's blog. This hop is to celebrate 3 years of amazing inspiration from a different kind of kit club and I am honored to be a part of this blog party! Rachel, Melissa and everyone @SFTIO has been awesome, I am talking about you too members! We've got guest appearances from past designers, the first layouts from the new DT and prizes too!  We will be giving away 3 kits  - each winner will get to choose from Independence, Optimism or Friendship. And for a grand prize, we are giving a $50 gift cert toward the CRAFT retreat!  All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on the blogs in the hop.  This is my very first kit here and I was impressed.  I have been waiting for what seems like forever to share my layouts so I picked my favorite for the hop

July's theme is "Indepenence" and this page is about my 4yo who thinks he is 16! I don't even want to think about what he will be like when he actually is 16.  This layout is cricut heavy lol.  I cut my hearts on the cricut, then cut the scalloped circles on the cricut also.  I layered the circles on the hearts and then flipped them over and trimmed the edges with an exacto. I filed the edges so they would have a seamless look.  The ribbon is just a bit I  trimmed off of some Prima rose ribbon, but dont worry you will see the actual roses later.
     You're next stop on the hop is Felecia.  Be sure to have fun and enjoy all the inspiration along your way.  Thanks for looking and have a great day!

    I love the technique you used on the roses! They remind a bit of the old serendipity squares we all used to do. I will have to try this. Thanks!

    wow, stunning layout. I love the color scheme, the "scalloped" hearts, and the way you used the prima rose. I may have to copy you!!! :)

    I LOVE this layout...and it hits all too close to home! My oldest turned 4 in December and she acts like she is going on 16! LOL! I am scared for when we really hit those teenage years!

    I share in your sentiments about your son. I would love my kids to be eventually independent but for now, I will hold them a little bit more. :-) Hope to win one of the kits. :-)
