Hello and welcome aboard our Cake Day Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop.

Today I would like to share with you a creation which features Close To My Heart’s March Featured collection, Cake Day!
Of course, the first thing that comes to mind with this collection is using it to document birthdays; and so I put together a 12x12 layout of my niece's first birthday. The ice-cream elements work perfectly with her ice-cream birthday cake, and I love the colour combination of Lemonade and Wild Berry.
I used the zip strip and stickers for embellishment, as well as the Cake Day dots. I matted all of the photos on Wild Berry cardstock to really make them pop. I added string to the balloon stickers using a fine tip black pen.
The stickers in this collection are so great because they give you words, clusters, large focal pieces as well as borders- here I chopped the candle border up to create a washi tape look, and the sentiment stickers were perfect to add a caption to the photo.
I used a Cake Day Picture My Life card for a sub-title, and added the journalling on strips of coordinating cardstock. I love the fun cake sticker embellishment with the Cake Dots!
I'd love you to leave a comment before heading off to the next stop, Doreen.
Your page is so bright and cheerful, Lauren. Thank you for sharing.
