Travel Theme at The Paper Variety! Challenge 48!
This week's challenge over at The Paper Variety is a TRAVEL THEME or a Transportation Project!
I created a layout for one of our stops on our Babymoon last year! This one was Las Vegas! I had a lot of fun working on this layout, and added some Vegas touches such as real play cards and dice! I painted over the paper some to tone it down a little..ruffled up some ribbon and added a CHERISH rub on..
Check out their fabulous products and kits! Karen is awesome to work with!
Hope you join us this week!!! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

August Journaling Challenge at Global Scrappers!
I have been wanting to do this for a while, and after working with all the digital stuff for Isabella's birthday, I said this is perfect to try. This month's challenge is to journal on your PHOTO directly! I used PICASA and wrote the text on top and then sent my picture to get printed. Be careful if you do that not to put the text too close to the edge.
One lucky participant will also get a RAK from me.

Owl Themed First Birthday Party!! Isabella is ONE!
My baby girl turned 1 on Saturday! Where has the year gone???!!! I cannot believe it.. we had an amazing year and it was so much fun planning for her party!
I started designing the invitations back in May, and worked on the labels for the cupcakes, and everything else! I thoroughly enjoyed it and thank all the help I got pulling it together the last few days!
Here are some highlights! We had a blast! http://pinterest.com/jamilie/owl-party-ideas/

TO PURCHASE THIS INVITE GO HERE
The CUPCAKE TOPPERS AND WRAPPERS and a picture frame I made for this were PUBLISHED in CRICUT Birthdays Idea Book last year- JULY 2012.
HIGH CHAIR PICTURE REMOVED DUE TO PUBLICATION

Water Table for kids outside to enjoy!
We set up a slip and slide for the older kids, and also had water guns and bubbles!
The letters were done with STORYBOOK. I played with the size until I found one I liked. I used good scrapbook paper for these, picked them out first before I started. I pop dotted the white blackout letter and the letter on top.. You can also find the owls in my Etsy store or might have to do a CONVO and I will create a custom order for you.
MY ETSY SHOP: http://www.etsy.com/shop/JJRDesigns
I used the digital scrapbook kit to create the cupcake toppers, and the signs, and invitations.. I got them printed at Office Depot, and cut them out. I cut out most cupcake toppers with the Cricut so I can mass cut a whole 12x12 sheet at once, but a hand punch would suffice also, just a lot more work.
For the invitations I used Microsoft Publisher. The digital Scrapbook Kit I bought had all the graphics and papers used.
The cakes were Strawberry Flavored and the Cupcakes were Strawberry and Cheesecake made with fresh fruit!
