31 Pages in 31 Days: Age Progression page

Hello, all! Today's inspiration page is an age-progression layout. Just follow the arrows to watch the child grow! This is a fun and easy way to do a birthday page when you don't have many photos of the occasion–or ANY photos of the actual birthday–you can just use school photos as well.

PRO TIP: This layout is fantastic for using up scrap strips! I was pleased to have a use for these long stripes. They didn't match my background paper, but by spacing them out so it appeared there was an additional stripe between the strips, it works. You can also use a marker to add a stripe or dots in the right color to you patterned paper.

The new Family Party stamp set is perfect for personalizing just about any relationship and occasion, so I use it a lot in my scrapping. It's mostly words, but there are some cute smaller images in the set as well, like these presents.
