Happy 3rd Birthday Celebration!

With my Grandson being officially three now I thought it was time to finish up his birthday layouts!  If I don't do it now the time will pass and it won't get done until he is almost 4! 

I thought it would be nice to write down some of his milestones in the past year!  How quickly he is changing, it makes me realize how quickly time passes! 

I use two files from the Cutting Cafe to create this layout.  The first is the tall cake shaped card http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2013/03/tall-cake-shaped-card-template-cutting-file.html.  I didn't use the card feature on this but used the layered pieces to create this tall birthday cake to layer on top of the string and button envelope file http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/.services/blog/6a010536b71e2d970b010536b71e33970b/search?filter.q=string+envelope.  This envelope was the perfect size to hold the journal card with the milestones typed on.

I also used a few of the tall cake file pieces as extra embellishment on this layout.

There are so many ways you can use the Cafe files.  Sometimes you just have to think outside of the box!  Have a great week!
