Happy Birthday Lowell

It's my little man's 3rd birthday today!!! He got a very cool karaoke machine from his grandpa and LOVES it! He's gonna be a rock star:)


Here's a layout of Lowell showing off his new toy. I *finally* it got done for challenge #8 from Annie (based on Ali Edward's book)...using a stencil in a layout. I had major scrappers block on this one and totally resisted using a stencil, mainly because I have none. Then I was on the floor playing with the kids today and realized that I could use one of their cookie cutters as a stencil, hence the stars. I had also recently been inspired by the challenge for this week on the Freestyle blog to do a layout with stars and stripes. So here you are! After getting a wonderful package full of goodies from Poppy Ink, including these papers, chenille stems and whimsy "Hello my name is" sticker, it all came together:)
