My Wish (Turning 39)

Guess whose birthday it is tomorrow!?

MINE!!!

Yes, i will be turning 39 in just a few hours, and what better way to celebrate than to share with you a very special layout i have done inspired by this important day. 
I created this layout with the help of a few challenge prompts, including the beautiful June PPP from Prima, full of the softest and most romantic hues ever:

While Prima guided me through color, the latest sketch and journaling challenge at Once Upon A ...Sketch inspired me to reflect on the theme of 'Birthdays'. 
With my own 39th birthday coming up, i knew that i wanted to embrace it somehow, instead of fretting over the number as i would normally be tempted to do.  I decided to include my journaling on a piece of parchment that i rolled up and tied at the top of the page... words of wisdom for me to rediscover year after year.


And last, but certainly not least, my final inspiration for this layout came from one of the June tunes at Scrap It with a Song...  "My Wish" by Rascall Flatts.  I love the lyrics of that song and, just like clockwork, the title seemed to go perfectly with my page.  I was also very excited to read that Scrap It with a Song is holding a DT call.  Wouldn't it be a GREAT birthday gift to be chosen to be part of that awesome challenge blog?  I would feel truly blessed. 
Let's take a closer look at all the gorgeous Prima flowers and embellishments that i used (see below for a complete list), along with beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard that i altered using Distress Crackle Paint and Smooch:
