Celebrate Aaron's 17th Birthday

Hello and Welcome!

For this post, I've combined both a layout and a card made using the same set of Kaiser's Party Time papers.  Please see below for the Coffee Lovers card.

My "little" guy turned 17 years old! I can't believe next year he will be consider an adult. Yikes! Well, right now he is still a kid and here we are celebrating his birthday in style at the Melting Pot.

For this festive party I pulled out Kaisercraft's Party Time collection. Love these colors as they are bright, fun and work well for a guy page. To create the balloons, I fussy cut the circles with a little triangle on the bottom and added silver thread. One of the balloon is also popped up.

I used Kaiser's Stars & Moons stencil with silver embossing paste to create the star details. Love the look and dimension.  Cheesecloth was added behind the photos.

I love using the tear strips from the Kaiser paper to add some fun color and ground the design.

The overall design of this page is based on a sketch from the Kaisercraft blog.

As a bonus, I made this fun coffee-themed card with the leftover Kaiser Party Time papers!
