SLS Week 5 - Hey, it's your day!

Hi! Thank you so much for stopping by today. It's Leslie on the blog today!

I get to scraplift Debbie today! Here is the beautiful layout I get to lift.



So I decided to stick to the original pretty closely. I absolutely love this layout. 

I used the Hooray! collection from Crate Paper.

I used one of the patterned papers from the collection as my background and just turned the paper on it's side so that the stripes are vertical and I used this as a base for the majority of my embellishments.
I also used four photo's and stacked them and added a photo strip behind them. 

I have been wanting to make a shaker pocket banner for months now and I thought that this layout would be the best to try it out on. So I took some tracing paper and cut triangles and stitched two of the sides with my sewing machine, then I added some sequins from my stash and stitched the third side closed. 

The rest is pretty self explanatory, I layered some embellishments from the ephemera pack and the chipboard sheet. I also fussy cut the month of March out of the one cut apart sheet form the collection and layered it behind the bottom right of the photo's. I added an arrow below the word March and circled 23, as it's the day of his birthday. 

Lastly I added some enamel balloon shapes around the photo's for some extra interest and texture and also used some Heidi Swapp Black Color Shine to the top right of the photo's and the bottom left.

The stinking cute Aardvark attached to the balloons I fussy cut from a party banner I bought months ago at my local dollar shop. 

And that is it!
