"Look At Me...I'm 3" Layout

Today I am sharing a layout I created of my youngest granddaughter on her third birthday last year.   I am challenging myself to use up as much as my old stash as possible this year, so I pulled out a My Mind's Eye collection that has been in my stash since 2011!  Hopefully I will get a chance this week to complete a companion page and use up more of this collection!

Supplies:

My Minds Eye "Hip - Hooray/Girl" ~ Patterned Papers and Die Cuts

Basic Grey "RSVP" ~ Chipboard Frame

Echo Park "Birthday Girl" ~ Cardstock Stickers
Teresa Collins "Hello My Name Is" ~ Journaling Stickers
Thickers ~ Title Work
A Cherry On Top

My layout was inspired by the following challenges:
"A New..." Challenge ~ Frosted Designs
(Quote:  Each birthday is a new beginning....)

Something New or Blue Challenge  ~ Sketches4All
(Prominent color of layout ~ Blue)

3 in a Row Challenge ~ A Cherry On Top
