'Angelic' Birthday Celebrations ...

Well sorry to say I have been MIA again, haven't I?!?!? There just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day these days, so unfortunately my 'me' time gets put on hold!! Think we all know that scenario don't we?!?! 

Oh well enough excuses .... this month is 'Birthday' month at My2Angels, the lovely Tracy has been trading for 3 years this month (Happy Birthday T!) and she wanted to celebrate with her customers. So for August there are some super specials on in the shop, check them out HERE (discounted papers, birthday theme products etc etc)  plus we are also running a couple of comps, a SKETCH COMPETITION ... and a SHOW US YOUR CHARM challenge, so without further ado here is my take on the great sketch supplied by my fellow DT-er Jess.

Of course, still running with the Birthday theme, I scrapped a photo of my oldest son's very FIRST Birthday Party!!! Cute eh?!?!?! AND nearly 14 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes where does the time go?!?!?!?!? 

 I have used some papers I have had for a while and ABSOLUTELY love, Bo Bunny’s Ad Lib range, which are just such ‘happy’ papers ... do check out what Tracy has left in and snap them up, you won’t be sorry. I have also used some of the stickers from the same range for my little words and word strips.  I’ve added a Boy with Cap charm on one of my word strips. 

The green spotted paper (love spotted papers) is Pink Paislee’s Hometown, Summer Green Acres and the oval border strip is from the same range, Border Stickers with glitter. Tim Holtz Tea Dye ink has been used to edge my papers and the pin is a My2Angels original, Grunge Date Pins, which I have covered with a circle sticker and a word sticker, ‘wonder’. 

Other alphas used are my favourite AC Thickers Daiquiri in both Black and Green. The green bracket and letters I have used have been glossed with some Inkssentials Glossy Accents.  I also used this to highlight a few other things,  the ‘o’ in wonder, the camera on my word strips, the candle, the letters ‘st’ and the flowers on the BB paper. To finish I doodled around the scalloped edge of my white background.

So why don't you have a go and then upload your takes to the My2Angels gallery (the sketch must use some products available from M2A of course and its only open to Aus residents ... sorry!) 

Thanks for looking .... be back later in the month with some Birthday Cards!!

Take care in this crazy world
