Happy Birthday, Taylor Aemelia!

Happy Birthday, Taylor Aemelia!

Wow! This past year has flown by...you've grown from being a little 6 plus pound of sweetness to a 1 year old little princess!

You can see a couple of the first pictures of Taylor  HERE.
And here she is at nearly a year old.

Isn't she lovely?  :)

We are having a small family get together tomorrow to celebrate her birthday...which also happens to be her mother's birthday!  And today is her uncle's birthday.  Wow....lots going on!
Anyway, since many of the people at Taylor's party will be adults Amanda wanted some "party favors" that would be useable so she came up with the idea of giving hand sanitizer.  In this day and age you can never have too much of that stuff handy!  (BTW, I try to always use hand sanitizer after touching a menu....I figure that is about the grossest thing around~!  I confess....I'm a germophobe!)
Here is what I came up with....I got some Avery clear (although they aren't really clear) labels and ran them through my printer after designing the label.  Avery gives you a web based design program that is easy to use....I could even rotate my images and text so that my label was vertical.  Cool!

I also did a little gift wrap....cut a few things out with my Silhouette Cameo.  I used Echo Park papers....the roses would probably have done a bit better if the paper wasn't so thick (Echo Park papers are very heavy duty...love them but don't work so well for rolled things).  I did wet them to try to curl the petals but they were still so stiff they just didn't want to cooperate much.  I didn't want to spend a tremendous amount of time on this, either....because you know what happens to gift wrap, right?  Torn off and tossed!  LOL!

Happy Birthday, Taylor Aemelia, Happy Birthday, Jonathan and Happy Birthday Amanda!

And....Happy Crafting to you!
