You're My Miracle by Kay

Good morning fellow Berry71Bleu fans!  I hope those of you that celebrate Thanksgiving had a wonderful one full of lots of good food & surrounded by family & loved ones!  All I'm aware of right now is that I ate too much & that I better hit the gym this coming week a few times!  :-)

This months challenge came at a perfect time since November is my son's birthday month.  My little guy turned two this year.  Two.  I can hardly believe it.  It honestly feels like only yesterday that I was holding this tiny little wiggly little man in my arms & now here he is--a toddler & getting bigger every day.

This month we want to see a project based on an Early Year Birthday. Create a project about yourself, your children, a member of your family, or a special someone - an early year birthday 

celebration!

I did a little bit of everything on this page.  I worked with a bit of mixed media, added some stamping & integrated several embellishments of all sorts onto the design of my page.

My page is based on a wonderful sketch I found on Page Drafts.  These sketches really jump start my mojo & I love being able to interpret the sketches in my own way.

Thanks for stopping by & looking forward to seeing your projects.

Thank you to our sponsors for providing amazing prizes this month!

It's Your Day by Cathi

This month we want to see a project based on an Early Year Birthday. Create a project about yourself, your children, a member of your family, or a special someone - an early year birthday celebration!  I have chosen to do a layout of my youngest daughter Aisling on her 2nd birthday. I used the gorgeous 7 Dots Studio Cold Country papers, cutouts and stickers for the base of my designs here.

On the photo above you can see some gorgeous UmWow Studio chipboard star and chevron confettis along with one of their flairs I used on the layout. I used a lot of stamping from the 7 Dots Studio  Cold Country clear stamp set. I used some of my Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays to color it!

I used the number 2 chipboard from Molossi and you can see another gorgeous Butterfly chipboard and star flair from UmWow Studio. I added just a few flowers and thread from my stash and journaled about my gorgeous little independent girl and how she inspires me every day!

I hope you like it and will come and play along with us!!

Choose Happy Little One by Dana Tatar

Hi Berry71Bleu fans! Dana here today sharing a birthday layout that I created for my husband. He turns 33 today! This photo was taken just minutes after he was born.

I had a lot of fun embellishing this file folder! I tucked several papers inside the photo that I copied from his baby album.

I layered stickers and embellishments around the photos.

I hope you can find the time to share a project based on an Early Year Birthday. Create a project about yourself, your children, a member of your family, or a special someone - an early year birthday celebration!

Happy 2! by Mandy

 Thank you, Denise for hosting this month's super fun challenge!  I created a "rustic" distressed country canvas using a photo of my great nephew.  The beautiful photo was taken by a local photographer - "Kylin Lyons Photography"  I was inspired by the "rustic" background in the photo.

This beautiful little boy turned 2 in September and I thought I'd create something special based on this month's theme.

I created a "stone work" background using a stencil, heavy gel and heat embossing using ultra thick clear powder.  I hand painted over the stenciled/embossed work.

Too bad I covered up some of the stencil work in the background but I wanted to add a little color using flowers.

I was going to tuck the photo inside the pocket seen at the left but it covered too much of the photo.  I cut a pocket off of an old pair of jeans and cut the pocket down the center then sewed in a zipper.

 

You still have plenty of time to show us your "Early Birthday Years" project!

Create a project about yourself, your children, a member of your family, or a special someone - an early year birthday celebration!
