It's All About the Presents!
By Shauna Berglund-Immel

Shauna's birthday-themed mini album layout captures the fun and excitement of a child's birthday party in bright, citrus color.

Supplies:

• Paper Pizazz® Birthday 8"x8" Papers: Rainbow striped, lime textured, yellow textured and rainbow striped/numbered papers plus cut-outs
• Cardmaker's Citrus Ribbons: Lime grosgrain
• tropical mini brads
• black pen
• black ink pad
• foam tape
• small Zots™
• glue stick
• clear adhesive tape

Instructions:

1. Ink the edges of the rainbow striped paper and place the paper with the stripes running horizontally. Ink the edges of a 5 3/4"x8" piece of lime textured paper and glue it 1/4" from the left edge of the striped paper.
2. Mat a 3 1/8"x5 1/2" photo on yellow textured paper, trim the mat to 1/16" and ink the edges. Mat the left edge on the striped portion of the rainbow striped/numbered paper (stripes running horizontally), trim the mat to 1/4" and ink the edges. Glue the photo over the upper portion of the lime textured paper.
3. Add a series of mini brads next to the bottom left edge of the photo. Journal below the photo and down the right edge of the lime textured paper with a black pen.
4. Wrap a 9" length of lime grosgrain ribbon down the right seam between the lime and rainbow striped papers, taping the ribbon tails to the backside. Tie an 8" length of ribbon into a shoestring bow and attach it over the top of the first ribbon length using a Zot™.
5. Foam tape a number tile, representing the age, over the yellow striped tag. Add a lavender mini brad to the tab, then foam tape the tag at an angle just under the bow.
