Island Birthday

The August Rusty Pickle Blog challenge is to use RP's summer papers to create a birthday themed layout along with any RP alphabet stickers.

Of course I immediately thought about scrapping the girls' birthdays until I looked at my stash of Rusty Pickle papers.

A L O H A ! ! !

Did I not turn 28 and 33 in Hawai'i??!! How about a day in the spotlight for my own birthday?! lol... These two pictures were taken in low light situations and were not very good so I converted them into B/W photos, even so, they are not very good photos. But the memory and occasion were precious and worthy of documentation, so the pictures sat there waiting and biding their time.

Well, their time is now! I used paper from three different Rusty Pickle summer lines, and the alphabet is from Merry Grinchmas. The more I participate in the RP blog challenges, the more I realize how huge and deep my RP stash is! Above all else, I am glad to be using them instead of just collecting them.
