This month we celebrate Britt's third birthday! She is growing up so quickly. She's sweet, and funny, and fierce...there is nothing stopping her! In preparing for her birthday, I decided to use this week's Pals Paper Arts sketch (PPA 204) as the basis for some framed birthday art! Here's the sketch:
And the DIY framed birthday art that I created:
I'm absolutely hooked on sewing up paper garland and it was perfect for this nice wide frame! The orange flower in the top left corner adds a pretty finishing touch.
The sketch is front and center on the framed art and here's a close up of it:
The stamp is from the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit and I paired it with a couple cards from the Everyday Adventure Card Collection and Accessory Pack from the new Project Life by Stampin' Up! (#PLxSU) line. Love the polka dots from the one card, the cevrons from the other, and that little wooden flag is adorable (at least I think so). The Washi tape is also from the accessory pack.
A few other pieces of cardstock in Crushed Curry, Strawberry Slush, Pumpkin Pie, and Bermuda Bay were used for the project and I put markers in those same colors plus Pear Pizzazz and Basic Black to use. The punched out circles add more flair to the project and echo the garland. While I regularly swap out most of the framed art that I create, I'll be keeping this and bringing it out for birthdays for years to come!
I'm loving the #PLxSU products and I promise you will see more memory keeping ideas soon! I need to sift through a whole lot of digital images, get them printed, and then crank out some pages! Until then, I'm having fun making other projects (like the framed art from today and the card above) with my #PLxSU supplies!
