If you are just happening upon this post randomly you can start at the beginning of the hop on the Flaunt it Friday Blog. The Flaunt it Friday Blog Hops feature a specific cut from a Cricut Cartridge of choice, and this week we are featuring the Bunny with Present from page 27 of the Birthday Bash Cartridge!!! . We also create a second project from the same cartridge, and I used the banner cut, numbers, and number shadows to make a SUPER SIMPLE mini album.   Stamps used are Papertrey Ink Birthday Bash and Birthday Bask Sentiments.

 BIRTHDAY BUNNY TAG

MINI ALBUM

The album pages have the birthday year on the front, and space on the back for journalling and a photo. OODLES of room for embellishment for any birthday boy or girl!  I used the banner cut for the pages, and stamped them with a Hero Arts background stamp (envelope liner).  The numbers and shadows are also stamped with a musical background stamp.

You Say It's Your Birthday Blog Hop!!

Please note, this is my second post for the day.  Scroll down to see my design team entry for the Paper Playtime theme of the week!

Hello and welcome to the You Say It's Your Birthday Blog Hop hosted by Erika from CricutLove.  You should have arrived here from Melissa's Blog.  If you are just stopping in here you can find the complete blog list below, or you can jump straight to Erika's Blog to start the hop!!

The theme for this blog hop is the Beatles and is celebrating Erika's daughter Ashley's birthday!!  We were to pick a song and base our project on that song in some way.  My project is based solely on the title of 'A Day in the Life' from the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band!  I worked backwards and found a title that would fit the project I wanted to make (hehe).  I made a daily journal/diary for Ashley which should arrive for her some time this week!! 

To create this project I used a YourStory 5x7 album cover, and decorated it with various cricut cuts and some bling.  The pages are blank white (no lines).  This was the first time I used my YourStory and I have to say, I LOVE IT!  I picked it out for myself as a Christmas present from my hubby for a FANTASTIC deal from OhMyCrafts ($29 for a kit that included the YourStory machine, and AMAZING rotary trimmer, a variety of hard cover book covers, and a package of various laminating pouches...SUCH a good deal and when I checked this weekend it was on sale again!!).  Anywhoo...on to the project!!

Cardstock - Ripe Avocado, Simply Chartreuse, True Black, Raspberry Fizz, Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink), Crushed Curry (Stampin' Up!), Pink Book Cover (Yourstory)
Die Cuts - Home Decor, Indie Art (Cricut)
Binding: YourStory Machine
Rhinestones (imaginisce iRock), White Gel Pen, Black Pen

Hope you enjoy!!  Please leave a comment, I love to hear from you!
