So without further delay here is my first project.  I decided that I would do two scrapbook layout of my nephew's 4 birthday party.  As I look at the pictures and scrap them I am reminded of just how fast time flies.  My nephew was the cutest thing in the world at 4 years of age.  He is still cute as can be now but at 17 things change just a bit.  I still love my little guy.  Here he is with his Mom blowing out the candles on his birthday pizza. 

For the perfect matching yellow stars I colored clear rhinestones with a yellow sharpie marker.

I added 4 clear rhinestones around the 12x12 page to make the page pop.  The photo corner help make the pics stand out.  I used the paper tearing technique on this layout as well.

On this 12x12 page I used a combination of techniques.  I used dry embossing on the vellum and used a Fiskars embossing plate.  I added Sticko glitter letters for the title.  This photo is very special to me because it has both my nephew's in this shot.

I added some more photo corners and some dimensional stickers.

Here's a trick when adding vellum to a page.  Try to put the adhesive on the paper that you are sticking the vellum to, this will help you avoid the glue marks showing through.  I do love this banner though!  :)

Well guys I pray that you enjoyed the layouts and thank you so much for spending time with me. I truly appreciate it.  My sincerest apologies for not getting this post up sooner. I am having major computer issues.  But it is technically still the 10th of June on the West coast.  Thank goodness for time zones.

Be sure to stop by Jillian's blog: http://princessandthepaper.blogspot.com/  and Deanne's blog: http://deannescreativejuice.blogspot.com/  for some more great projects.

Have a great night everyone and I will see you tomorrow, day 2, with another new project.
