Birthday Boy

Cookies And Ice Cream

Hi scrappers! This week I bring you one more page featuring products from the April Cherry Box from A Cherry on Top Crafts. My May box is already here and I can’t wait to start creating, but I found such a perfect photo to go with the cute ice cream print paper in last month’s collection that I decided to wait a week.

This photo was taken a couple of years ago at BJ’s restaurant where we got a birthday Pizookie for my husband. If you’ve never had the pleasure of eating one, it’s a deep dish cookie topped with ice cream. I think in this photo we got cinnamon pull apart monkey bread instead of the traditional cookie. It’s definitely a tasty treat!

I knew I wanted to use the cookie paper from Paper Pizazz’s Yummy stack. I’ve had these papers a very long time but they are so bold and specialized that it’s had to use them without the perfect photo. I cut down my ice cream paper from Echo Park Paper Company’s New Day collection and matted it on some basic white cardstock. A matching tag and stickers continued the ice cream theme. A sticker from The Happy Planner’s Modern Farmhouse sticker book made a nice background for my title The page looked unfinished so I added lots of enamel dots for a simple, yet adorable page.

This page was created for Becky Fleck Challenge #274 at A Cherry on Top. I liked the thick boarder because that allowed me to display the perfect amount of cookie patterned paper. I used one big photo instead of the three smaller ones. I feel like I never have photos I can crop that small! I replaced the smaller circular embellishment with a tag instead.

This page was also created for Lasting Memories. Their challenge this week is as follows:

LM #597 - Something Old - use something old on your layout (an old photo, scrapbook paper, or supplies you've had for 10+ years, etc.)

When I say I’ve had that cookie paper, for a long time, I mean it. I can’t remember when exactly I bought it, but there is a copyright date inside the cover of the paper stack from the year 2000! I’m not even sure Paper Pizazz exists as a company anymore! I still have quite a few pages in that booklet to use up. Hopefully I find the perfect photos for all those future pages!

That’s all for this week. I’ll be back soon with a page made with some enchanting new items from the May Cherry Box. You can find me on YouTube and Instagram @thescrapattack. See you next time!
