Zachary's Birthday Cake

I finished my page for the MDS Monday challenge #6.  These are pictures from Zachary's 4th birthday.  He is such a cutie and was super happy to get a Tom and Jerry cake. 
















This was the sketch.  As you can see I substituted pennants for the hexagons, but I had used a lot of hexagons lately so I decided to switch it up.   I like the way the sketch placed the photo boxes, cute.








One tip for this page is moving papers around in a punch.  When you use a paper punch with real paper, you get to position the punch over just the exact place on the paper you want to punch out. Maybe you want a certain color to show up more or to get a certain flower or pattern in your punch.  Well, the same is true in MDS.  When you paper fill a punch, you will automatically get the center of the paper.  But if you wanted a different area, you can change that.  Just double click the filled punch and you will get a screen like this...
just move your mouse around to get the highlighted area to be exactly where you want it.  In my case I wanted the number 4 to show up on the number papers and so I moved the papers around to highlight the 4.  Silly I know, and probably I am the only one who would notice the 4's but that's me :)
I also wanted a little something more in the bottom right corner, so I added some balloons in White, but reduced the opacity to 33% so they are there, but not really distracting, KWIM?
Thanks for stopping by today!
