I haven’t been showing you too many of my LOAD212 layouts but as this one is for several different challenges I figured I’d do a post on it.
Lain’s prompt today was “So You Say it’s Your Birthday” (and it really is Lain’s birthday – hope it’s a good one!!) which for some reason made me think of some of the cakes I’ve made for the girls over the years. I used this sketch from Elle’s Studio Sketch Thursday challenge …
… and came up with this.
This also has components on it for a couple of the Apron Strings Birthday month challenges – namely Day #9 (create a layout in less than an hour – this took me 53 minutes) and Day #11 (create a floral embellishment.)
Here is a close up of some of those floral embellishments. I used my Big Shot and the Fun Flowers die from Stampin’ Up! The title was a last minute “aha!” moment. I was looking for a large 6 in all my letter stickers. When I saw the @ symbol the title just came together!
All the patterned papers are from American Crafts Celebration line and I love how this one has this embossed pattern of fabric swags or bunting. Seemed perfect for a party layout but a little goes a long way! To finish the grouping I added some more scraps and another flower.
Here’s the third layered flower that I made.
Thanks for looking! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Super cute, Alison, love the stuff up in the top corner there, and your cake is incredible! Where were you when I needed your skills for my cupcakes? Oh yeah, lower mainland, riiiight! Love the flowers and title too! Hugs, Rox.
Love it!! Nice combination of challenges. I never think to do that when I’ve got multiple deadlines on my plate.
