This is for the Two-Page Sketch Challenge. I had to adjust LO a bit to accommodate my photos, but it follows the same general sketch.

This was DD's 5th birthday party, two weeks ago. I had a cookie decorating party for her at my friend's kitchen - it was such a great time! In hindsight, I'm not sure these papers really go with the photos, but I felt like the patterns conveyed a "party" feel.

I created the title with my Cameo. I used the Single Sleeve font (free from dafont.com), and welded it to an Echo Park flourish shape from the Silhouette store. I love the effect, and love not having to squish letters together to weld them to make a one-piece title! The 5 was also cut with my Cameo, then I doodle stitched around it, and pop-dotted off the page.

Onto the bottom: The border was cut with the Cameo - it's a ribbon border so you can slide a ribbon through it (obviously). I'm debating whether to add something in between the ribbon weaves, just to add a little more color. The photo corners were an Echo Park shape. The remaining embellies were from two Basic Grey lines that were sold exclusively in JoAnn's stores.
