SMILE/PRETTY LITTLE STUDIO

Good morning, friends! Nicole here with a birthday layout I created using the Sunkissed collection. My fur-baby, Moxie just turned 2 years old today! He's such a happy guy and he is such a joy to have... I wasn't ready for a dog when Pete brought him home... but I fell in love as soon as I saw him! I think he did, too.

I absolutely adore the Birthday Bash paper and it's perfect for this layout along with the balloon die cut from the Ducks in a Row die cut pack! I kept this layout pretty simple, focusing on the photo. :)

I used the "smile, you make life more beautiful" die cut from the Fun in the Sun Word Titles Die-cuts pack. I used foam squares to mount it slightly over the photo to add dimension.

I punched a hole through the die cut tag to add the pink ribbon and used foam squares to mount the balloons down. I enjoy playing with layers and adding dimension to my layouts.

I placed a few die cut borders from the Happy Blossoms Die-cut pack below the smile die cut and added the word flag to fill in the white space. The #HBD is a stamp set from my stash.
