Birthday layout

 Mark gets ready to blow out his 12 candles as we sing the birthday song to him.
 To make the candles I cut some patterned paper into small strips and used my scissors to make a pointy end. To make the flame I used a flower punch that creates these little shapes after it punches. Perfect, no?

Made a bit of a mess by holding my mists up too high and overspraying the misting box. Thankfully it came off with water. Thanks for the tip Donna White. Good thing I did it outside.

I've entered this layout in the Mystical Scrapbooks challenge for June 2013. You needed to use strips of patterned paper and misting. I cut the strips using my trimmer and a large circle pattern, then placed them on to cardstock and misted over them. Once they dried I took them away and was left with an interesting pattern.

VOTE FOR MY LAYOUT
I've also popped this layout into the Our Family category at The Scrapbook Awards which goes for 3 months, June, July and August. I'd really appreciate your vote if you like it.  Thanks a bunch.
