Happy Birthday Dear!

I had a lovely day today. It is my hubby's birthday today, so we had a nice lunch and watched Transformers 3 today :)) Honestly quite disappointed with the movie since we have high hopes for it. We are huge fans of the 1st and 2nd movies, but this one didn't quite make it somehow.... But the special effects are brilliant at least!

So here is a layout dedicated to him.. This is the second time I scrapped this photo since I like it so much.. :) I am inspired by Get Picky June Inspiration challenge, which to scrap from a lovely poster from Sex & The City 2. Also, inspired by Let's Get Shabby Challenge #25, which is also a poster inspiration challenge, with addition to use number '2' and choose 2 items to include from a list of embellies. For this one, I used chipboards and ribbons.

Both posters have strong blue influence in them, which brought me to join Scrapbookers Anonymous July challenge. The challenge this time is to scrap our hard to use colors, or colors that are piling up in our stash. I had these lovely baby blue flowers, ribbons and stickers from Bella for a long time but it was hard for me to use them. If you know me, I like bright colors!! Even my 'subdued' colors are still brighter than this! So I took up the challenge and kind of like how 'soft' this layout turned out.

The sketch is from Once Upon A Sketch July 1st challenge. The journaling criteria is to name the person in the photo and describe a fact about them. There are more than one fact about my hubby to write about.. maybe a bit cheesy here, but hey, it's his birthday anyway! :))

Sorry for my long rambling... here's the layout..






Happy Birthday again my dear! Thank you again for visiting.. :)) Your comments are really appreciated!
