The Birthday Dress...

How convinient is it that last month was Charlotte's birthday, and I have tons of photos, and this weeks challenge at Candy Shoppe Designs to to do a LO based on a BIRTHDAY!?

One of my favorite things about Charlotte's birthday was the dress that my mom bought her.  It had these little balloons on it with some curly ribbons for strings, and a little number "1"!

I had these chipboard balloon pieces in my stash from FOREVER ago, and decided to use them up!  I had to alter the colors a bit by painting and inking, but they came out perfect.


Most of the paper on here is the Dear Lizzy fabric paper.  For the two flowers on the bottom left, I used some fabric paper which I ripped off the adhesive backing, straight stitched up the side, and turned into a cute little flower!  I also added some circles of tulle under these, which is hard to tell from these photos.


So be sure to join us for this challenge at Candy Shoppe Designs this month to be eligible to win THIS PRIZE: 



Good Luck!!!
