We're in full-blown summer time now. Are you having a hard time keeping up with pages that you want to get done, or are you on a roll with cranking out page after page this summer? Either way, let this sketch guide you in getting another layout done.

Claire's 2nd Birthday by Becky Higgins. Supplies Patterned paper: Chatterbox; Scalloped scissors: Fiskars; Memorabilia pocket: 3M; Acrylic paint (for hand print): Plaid; Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L; Fonts (party invitation): CK Becky, Creating Keepsakes (title) and Gill Sans (all other text); Other: Cardstock.

Becky's note: I added a feminine touch to Claire's layout by using a simple stitch on my sewing machine to attach the papers. I also used my sewing machine to attach a small pocket, which holds several pieces of paper with journaling (such as her personality traits at this age, details about her party and gifts she received). A clear memorabilia pocket holds a lock of Claire's hair.
