PaperCrafter's Corner: Magazine Monday #128

I always look forward to what Stephanie at PCC has for the challenge us each week.  I had a hard time settling on an idea from this one.  We never do anything special for the New Year.  Too old?  New Year's eve is busy, though.  We party hardy. . .with our little birthday girl!  She arrived in time to be a tax deduction in 2009.  I can't believe she's six already!  And I have a birthday to scrap! 

 

    I took several ideas from the inspiration piece:  The bold heading, the sectioned off date and a confetti background (I had to restrain myself there).  The magazine cover celebrates the New Year.  We celebrated New Year's Eve, with a Princess Leia cake and a costumed birthday girl!  

     I sprayed navy cardstock with a mix of Perfect Pearls and alcohol to make the "far-off galaxy."  We did that on her invitations, too.  It shows up really well on dark paper.  All the heading was cut with the Cricut.  I love being able to cut larger letters. 

     Thank you for looking.  Do consider joining the fun at PaperCrafter's Corner!
