Pooler Happenin’s: Eva Turns 6!

evas-rainbow-birthday-party-My Digital Studio

I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!  We celebrated the 2nd Pooler child’s birthday this weekend (the 3rd child’s birthday is Dec. 4)!  Eva turned 6 on November 10.

We had a Rainbow themed birthday party and I don’t know who was more thrilled with the paintings the kids made, the kids or the moms! 

I gave them each an artist’s canvas (these are a few dollars each at the craft store), a big paint brush and a rainbow paint pallette.  The kids did great!  They didn’t make a mess, can you believe it?    Their paintings were gorgeous and they have a fabulous keepsake from the party to hang on their wall.

The party was topped of by rainbow cupcakes and a rainbow pinata.

I wanted to add a quote here from the birthday girl, so I asked her what she thought of the birthday party.  Her response was "nothing".  Oh, well, I know she had a great time.

My Digital Studio

The page I made here was done on Stampin’ Up’s My Digital Studio.  I honestly have not done much with MDS OR scrapbooking lately!  Shame on me! 

I wanted to show you a bunch of photos from the party, so I did a quick page.  It literally took me less than 10 minutes.  I plan to do another facing page with a large photo of Eva and her friends from the party with fun embellishments and a title.  Then, I can get these pages printed out and slip them into my top loading scrapbook album.

Did you know Stampin’ Up has professional printing services?  I can get my scrapbook pages printed as part of a book, or get them as individual pages for $2.50 per page!  I had some pages printed last year (before SU offered this) and they were $12 a piece!

Elements of Style Stamp Set and Love Story Designer Series Paper Scrapbook Page

Love Story Designer Series Paper scrapbook-page

When I saw the new Love Story Designer Series Paper, the Vintage Brads and the Crochet Trim, I ordered them right away.  Usually this stuff sits around for a bit ’cause I’m not sure what to do with it.  Not this time!

As soon as the order arrived, I pulled out these goodies and got to work.   I love the end result.  This page remains true to my personal style of simple with a punch…dontcha think? 

The basic layout is one I use over and over…12 x 12 Cardstock with a couple strips of DSP.  I added the flowers, the crochet trim and the tag from the Big Shot Two Tags Die (perfect journaling block) and I think it came out great!  I did a little stamping with the Elements of Style Stamp Set on the background with Whisper White Craft Ink.

(I also made my Convention swap card to match the page and I can’t find a copy of it right now!  I’ll post it when I find it.)

Wanna see the coordinating facing page for this layout

It will be featured in my August newsletter that goes out the first week of August.  So don’t miss out and put your e-mail address in that little box on the top of the sidebar!  There’s also a really cool exclusive tutorial for newsletter peeps.  Can’t wait to show you!

Not to mention how stinkin’ cute this kid is, right?  This was right before her dance recital in June.  We were "practicing" putting our hair in curlers.  She just loved it, she’s so girly!  And I’m so jealous of that hair.  She’s got the best hair in the Pooler Household.
