SEM Birthday Celebration Blog Hop

Welcome! As a member of the SEM Design Team, I am so excited to have you join me for "Scrapping Everyday Miracles" Birthday Celebration Blog Hop. We'll have fun stuff on the SEM Blog...and on our Facebook Page we'll be offering games each day of the event that will have some fabulous prizes.

First up, I would like to share my favorite layout that I created for SEM this year. This page was created for a Sketch Challenge.

It's my favorite because it shows my sweet little girl growing up...happily! I love that she's such a good-natured, fun loving girl. But most of all, I love that she LOVES Jesus (just about a month ago, at the young age of 6, she made a choice to accept Jesus as her savior, and I couldn't be happier!) and my prayer is that she will continue to let Christ shine through her to everyone she meets!

This second layout I created focuses on the "Celebration" theme. It was my daughter Ellie's sixth birthday celebration. I kept it simple because I wanted the photos to be the focus. I love using Alpha Stickers with foam tape on the back to give them some dimension. 

The fun little "puffy" birthday themed stickers were ones I've had in my stash for over a year now, so I was thankful to finally have the perfect page to use them on!

I'm also including a couple of favorite birthday cards I have made to hopefully inspire you.

Here's a more masculine one!

And...one with a more feminine touch...

I appreciate you stopping by, and as a little thank you I'd like to GIVE AWAY this Papertrey Ink acrylic stamp set to one lucky winner. Either leave me a comment or become a new follower (or do both for 2 chances to win!) by Sunday night, June 3rd at 11:59pm PST. I will announce the winner on Monday, June 4th. 

Also, our Hop Grand Prize (see the SEM Blog for details on how to win) has been provided by two awesome sponsors...Paper Loves Glue and Memorable Seasons. Our grand prize winner will win both a gift certificate for $15 to Paper Loves Glue and a $20 gift certificate to Memorable Seasons. 

I hope you've enjoyed the Hop so far! Next up is Jeannine.
