Card Recipe:

  • Mat 1 (blue stars) = 5.5" x 4.25"

Over the Hill Layout

Hello, Friends.  You may remember that my sister-in-law recently celebrated her 60th birthday.  I created this single page layout in remembrance of the fun time we had at her party.  My tip:  Incorporate fun elements for your photo mats.  On my layout, I used clouds for the photo mats.


  • Designer Paper:  K&Company "Ancestry" 12"x12" pack
  • Train Image:  A Day For Daisies :  Choo Choo Train




  • "Happy Birthday, Cindy" = Font = Arial 



  • Train = images from A Day For Daisies.  Image sized at 2" in height.  
  • Hills = 4" Circle cut in half.
  • Smoke from Train = cloud images purchased from Silhouette store.



  • "Over the Hill" = Font = Arial.   Text welded to half circle before cutting.



  • Cloud Photo Mats = image purchased through Silhouette store.  Sized at 4" height.
