Vintage Birthday Party Journal Continues....My Book!

The Vintage Birthday Party Art Journal continues this week...with my book!

My good friend Lilia of Fleamarket Studios and I started books with the theme Vintage Birthday Party. Check out her fabulous book in my last blog entry. It was amazing! Her theme was Art Deco Girl's party. I had so much fun with my part in it!

Here is my book! I used the theme of 60's Birthday Party. I used photos of my own birthday party along with the 60's vibe additions.

Here is how I started the book...




I designed the cover with my own photo, and added the inserts. I included really fun "negative" tags that I found in a thrift store. I think they were for prescriptions. New York addresses were typed on each one. I stamped over them, "Texas Girls" and "California Girls." That way Lilia's friends from CA would be invited to my party!



I had to have a dress up party. They're the best! I included the lyrics one of my favorite Miranda Lambert songs, "Pink Sunglasses" just for fun!

I used my stash of vintage paper patterns and made a "Lilia & Friends" page.

I also had a stash of vintage birthday cards and made small copies of them to put in a paper pocket.
This is actually a dress up birthday party pic of my friends and me. I'm wearing the diamonds.
I used a fun set of lace stickable stencils by Bo Bunny on the opposite sides of my book. Lots of vintage flowers and trims decorated each page.


Now for Lilia's Additions!
