Happy 98th Birthday, Gma!

Hello everyone! Java Jen here from JAVA JEN CREATIONS and I am so excited to share some projects with you this month! Thank you, Sheila, for another opportunity!
Recently my Gma, (short for Grandma), turned 98 and we celebrated in grand style! I was in charge of the decorations and I had so much fun doing them! My Gma's sister turned 96 the day after her so we celebrated her too! I made a birthday banner, Chip Decor names and themed centerpieces.
I used the Country Life cartridge for the images in this centerpiece because it was perfect to represent her growing up years!

The main table that Gma and her sister Lucille sat at.

Close up of the banner made using Art Philosophy and Country Life.

Used the Hobby Lobby exclusive cartridge, Chip Decor to cover the Chip Decor letters.

Made this centerpiece using the Heritage and Country Life cartridges.

Gma and Aunt Lucille enjoying their cake and ice cream! 



Sorry for the glare in this pic but I used Create a Critter and Animal Kingdom for this centerpiece since Gma loves animals, namely cats! 

Thanks for stopping by today!
