Each week I share a scrapbook layout to give you a little sneak peek into what I’m scrapping, and inspire you to play with pretty pixels too. Today I’m sharing a page from my family's album about Matthew's 2nd birthday.

Layout: Matthew's 2nd  Birthday

Create the look

1. Select your photos and arrange them over the page
2. Use the alignment tools in the tool options to align the photos 
3. Add white borders
4. Journal in the space that remains
5. Create a border with paper strips
6. Add an embellishment to draw the eye across the page (the stitched planes for me)
7. Add a couple of embellishment clusters

Journaling

5th: Daddy was still on holidays for Matthew's birthday so we opened his presents first thing and had a quiet day playing at home.. We taste tested the cake and Matthew had a go at blowing out the candles by himself.

6th: Matthew had a family get together for his second birthday with grandparents, great-grandparents and Aunties and Uncles.

He well and truly enjoyed opening his gifts saying 'rip' as he took off the paper.

Matthew adores teddies and Playschool is his favourite TV show, so I made a Little Ted cake using the teddy bear design from the Women's Weekly Cake book.
