Birthday Celebration by Kathy + Giveaway

Hi! Doodlebug design team member Kathy Martin here taking over the Doodlebug blog today! Isn't that cool? Since this doesn't happen very often I thought we should celebrate! You know, have some fun, throw a party! What do you think? Are you game?

To have a party we'll need some brightly colored balloons and confetti. What else? Oh yea, we have to have a cake or cupcakes! How about party hats? Pictures will be a lot more fun if we all wear party hats, don't you think?

What's that? What about presents? Now your talking! We should have presents! What's a party without presents? I wonder if the folks at Doodlebug would mind me giving away presents? Do you think they would be okay with that? Maybe if I have just one cool giveaway, they wouldn't mind? So, what should I giveaway? That's a tough one because there are so many great Doodlebug products!

Oh, I know what the giveaway should be! Since this is a party, I'll giveaway a Birthday Celebration pack! Your choice of a boy or girl theme. I think that's pretty awesome, don't you?

Check out more of the Birthday Celebration Collection on the Doodlebug website.

I recently made a scrapbook page with this line. Would you like to see it?

With all these bright colors, balloons, and an assortment of stickers, this collection is perfect for all celebrations, don't you think? You can create cards for graduations, or make invitations, and so much more!

I really enjoyed creating this page of my son's 10th birthday! These balloons begged for some Doodle Twine to make a bouquet with! And I just had to top off some of the confetti with some brightly colored mini jewels!

To create my title, I layered one of the die cuts with a present and party hat. To give them pop, I  attached some adhesive foam tape underneath. As you can see, everything you need for your celebration projects is included in this pack!

GIVEAWAY 
What do you think of this collection? Would you like to win it? Alright! All you have to do is leave a comment here on my blog and tell me what kind of celebration you would use this line for.
