Layout: a good day to turn 30

My goal in 2011 is to document more of the special moments in my life. To get inspired with new ideas, scrapbook more regularly, and have on-hand great products to work with I joined the monthly kit club at Studio Calico. I love their products! In order to reduce my spending on scrapbook products, I have limited my visits to Michaels, utilize supplies I already own, and will only buy essentials (i.e. adhesives, card stock, and ribbon). 

I created this layout of Shaun's thirtieth surprise birthday party. I couldn't stop laughing at him as he tried with great difficulty to blow out all thirty trick candles on his cake, but I was able to take these awesome photographs.  I love how this layout came together.  The products used on this layout are from Studio Calico's December Kit (Metropolitan).
