Jess's 22nd Bday - Mixing Paper Packs

I made this busy LO with pics from Jess's 22nd Bday.  I used three different CTMH paper packs (Cherry-O, Sweetheart, and Daydream) to make this playful, girlie look. 

White mats around the pages and photos tie it all together.  The banner was made with CTMH's "Pennant Alphabet" stamps, and "November 10" was made with the the "Vintage Type" stamps, which punch out perfectly with a 1/2" circle punch.  The numbers "22" on the flower are CTMH Dimensional Elements Numbers.  I used flowers, pearls, rhinestones, pins, and tabs for embellishments.  EK Success edge punches were used for the scalloped and birthday candle borders.

Mostly more of the same materials.  "Celebrate" is from a set of CTMH Irresistibles, covered in coordinating ink.  The two hearts toward the bottom center were punched, then I crinkled the all the edges up.  The long strip of pearl embellishments is from Recollections.

Welcome to Finland Layout

Welcome to Finland is the name of Jimmy Buffett's 2011 tour, so it makes a great title for my Buffett tailgate layout from Alpine Valley.  The layout is based, very loosely, on the Monologue layout from CTMH's Imagine book.  I used CTMH's Sweetheart B&T papers and added Dutch Blue and Pear cs.

Almost everything on the layout is CTMH, except for the stamped woman image, which is from Art Impressions.

I paper pieced the dress with some random B&T paper, and colored the rest of the image with copics.  Her lei is made by stringing small papercrafting flowers on a piece of string and threading it through and attaching it to the back.

For the title, I used the CTMH stamp set Around the Block for "Welcome to" (barely visible in this pic), Hang Ten for the shark fins, and Bohemian Alphabet for "Finland."  I stamped "Finland" in pear ink, filled in the flowered areas with Cotton Candy marker, then cut out the letters.
