Here's mine - it is us celebrating DD#2 21 birthday a HUGE milestone. This LO knocked off a lot of my stash list

[kguercio]

Great example layout!  Thanks for the clarification on the milestone bdays!

When is this open to? I have an idea but have to leave for a while.

I have to find Lynn's first birthday photos.  I even have the papers already.

Mom is having her 80th this year and my brothers and I are throwing her a huge party the first of November.  My grandmother (Mom's side) marked milestone birthdays in her mind every five years at 75.  Her biggest party was her 85th.  It was HUGE!  125 people were invited and about 85 came in from all over the nation.  My aunt and Mom rented each two HUGE beach houses for their families.  Both houses next door to each other.  Three grandchildren between my Mom and Aunt, too!  We had a wonderful time and so did my grandmother.  She lived to 97.

I have a Miss Lilly too, named Angel.  Today she stole away with one of my wood veneer pieces.  I wonder if the teeth marks can be considered "distressing" in the challenges?

DD turned 13 this year.  That is a special one in our family.  We now have a TEENAGER!!!

[beachlover]

Do you consider becoming a teenager a milestone? So turning 13?
Oh and does it have to actually be a surprise party? I am confused!

 no,, it does not have to be a surprise

[beachlover]

Never have had a surprise party...will traditional birthday photos work in lieu of?

 yes, it does NOT have to be a surprises

[beachlover]

Question- challenge is layout birthday

then we have a option for sprinkles by finding a surprise party layout?

exactly!

[beachlover]

This was a perfect challenge as I 've wanted to scrap this photo for awhile.  OMG, how adorable!  I love it!  I wish Isabella would sit still like that for her birthday pictures, but she's camera shy
(It's not a milestone birthday, but I imagine it was a surprise party, that Jasper wasn't expecting.  LOL)

[beachlover]

I do these instead of saving all the cards for each little ones birthday! THis was a milestone since it was his first!  I love your papers and what a great idea rather than keeping so many cards!
 

[beachlover]

Are you allowed to do PL pages or must it be an actual LO?  I'm about to work on my PL pages of my 40th surprise birthday party.   I didn't get my real LO done, but I did do a bunch of PL Pages... 


 

Oh this most definitely counts and silly me, I am just learning (this weekend) what PL cards are!  Luckily I "accidentally" got some b/c I liked them so I will be able to use them!

I love this and it most definitely counts for the challenge - what an awesome party!!!  why weren't we invited

[beachlover]

I have a Miss Lilly too, named Angel.  Today she stole away with one of my wood veneer pieces.  I wonder if the teeth marks can be considered "distressing" in the challenges?

If she is like my Lily, there won't be anything left to call "distressed" except you  

[beachlover]

Not sure if I'm understanding correctly but I thought we were also to find a Surprise Party layout for possible sprinkles.

Here's an older one I found.
Surprise Party
  
 

no, its just to create a birthday LO...   sorry for the confusion...  bonus points for a milestone birthday and I just called it Surprise Challenge - I still have lots of sprinkles that I may throw out for the word - I have been kind of winging it - sorry, been running like mad with these house hunts and trying to work two jobs
