Party animals

More Than Words is celebrating its birthday with this fun January challenge:


Here is my layout:


Materials
Bazzill Basics Smoothies - Blackberry Swirl cardstock
Paper doily
3 Bugs in a Rug Rhapsody - Rapture patterned paper
Bo Bunny Jazmyne - Effloresce patterned paper
Other paper scraps - KI Memories, K&Company
Studio Calico Classic Calico 2 - Stars wood veneers
Bakers twine
Kaisercraft Rhinestones - Silver bling
Kaisercraft Rhinestones - Black bling
Kaisercraft Rhinestones - Lippy Red bling

I took the challenge criteria very literally:  I scrapped a photograph taken at my friend's 70th birthday party, and featured two tags handmade from some patterned paper offcuts.

I made a companion page (with photographs from the same birthday party) using the criteria at Soul Scrappers Birthday Bash challenge.  I included the following elements:

 * a number (70 - in the journalling)
 * the word 'birthday' (in the journalling)
 * Disney quote "Growing OLD is mandatory but GROWING UP is optional"
 * twine
 * a cake
 * hugs and kisses (hand-drawn XOXOX)
 * stars
 * banner (hand-made from paper scraps)
 * a present (hand-made from paper scraps)
 * confetti (rhinestones)

A little close up shot of some of the elements:
