Birthday Flowers and Class Projects for July 2nd

This birthday was one of my favorites!  I was dreading it but it was so much fun!  These are the flowers my husband bought for me.  He knows I love flowers!!!  To cap off all the fun, I got a call from Jaime and the grandkids.  They sang happy birthday to me!  I heard from friends and relatives and that really made my day.  I really enjoyed the gals that came over to help me with my convention swaps.  Thanks again!

Love you Forever Page

Here's what we will be doing tonight in my Scrapbooking Class.  You asked for a Baby Girl page and now you've got a fun, sweet little baby page.  The children's book, "Love You Forever" was in the back of my mind when I created this page.  If you don't have a baby girl, it could be about you or about someone special that you know.  Imagine making this page for a Baby Shower Gift.  You could take photos at the shower and mount them on this page.  What a great gift!!!  Also, with a few minor changes this could be for a baby boy.  Again, you have to use your imagination.  Let me know what you think!

You'll find some of the details here...
Card Stock:  Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight, Pretty in Pink
DSP:  Subtles Prints Pack and various others
Ink:  Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue
Big Shot:  Bathtub, Apothecary Accents Framelits (New), Oval Accent Bigz Die, Buttons Embosslit, Heart Embosslit, Timeless Type Alphabet, Tasteful Trim
