Without further ado here is what I made for the Birthday hop!

 First, I am still working on last years albums for my grandbabies so I just finished my youngest grandson Lestat's 1st birthday layout.  
I always want to try something different for their first birthday and this I did.  I made him a cake out of Cardstock!  (AC CARDSTOCK, Of course!)  I cut them at 10 inches, 8 inches and 6 inches.  Then I took a Halloween blood dripping border and made it into my icing dripping off the cake.  Then taking a small piece of  stripped cardstock I rolled it to make the candle and cut out the flame on my cameo.  I embellished the cake the way I felt necessary and I was done.  Lestat's Pictures were professionally taken for his first birthday and these black and white ones fit just perfect!

 Here is some close up's


Now, He has made it through his first year and we are almost to his 2nd year and we are planning his 2nd birthday .  His favorite thing is watching "Finding Dory".  MaMaw couldn't help but make his birthday invitations for him and here they are:


I of course used all AC cardstock and Made the Dory SVG.  I also made up the saying You're "o-Fish-ally invited" to match .  The background SVG's are from the sea princess svg file by Marjorie Ann Designs.    By the time I was done laying all those letters on each invite....I didnt want to see another until....probably next year!  HAHAHAHA!

I hope you enjoyed my projects!  Please leave me a comment!

Blessings!

    Every. Single. Page. Every page you do I think man I love that page. And that boy is so photogenic. I love all his pictures. Great job on the cards too. Also I think I need some better paper or different settings on my machine. I will have to try that brand.
