Blog Train - Stop #9

All Aboard!

So you've just been to see Stacy in Sydney? Now welcome to Melbourne, my home town! :)

Here we are my blog for stop number 9 on the ScrapMatters 1st Birthday blog train for you to pick up another bit of the "you say it's your birthday" 5x7 brag book.

What's your family birthday tradition? I never really had any special family birthday traditions growing up, which is why I decided to make a special cake for my kids' birthdays each year... here was my first effort:

Now, it's your lucky day, because I'm on the hybrid creative team, you'll get a special extra! An avery label template and .png files for three different styles of gift tags to be printed on adhesive paper.

Here it is...

Enjoy!

Please be mindful that this train is stopping at scrappers blogs, all across the world, so if one stop isn't quite ready yet, please be patient check back later. These freebies will be available for a while, rest assured, you wont miss out!

CHOO CHOO!

Now, it's time to move on, please head over to Sya's blog for your next freebie!

Now, if you didn't hop on the train at the beginning, be sure to go back to the start and get all the other brag book pages too (and other random hybrid goodies!) before moving on...

felix's day at the zoo

How much did felix like this storybook I made him of his day at the zoo? So much, that he wanted to sleep with it. Daddy was silly enough to let him too. By the morning there were buttons all over his bed and it is in need of repair already! Ahh well! He does love it and I'm sure it was fun, pulling those buttons off! ;)
