Oh my, a chocolate cake! With frosting dribbling down the sides, how creative! The flowers are so pretty and I love the cake stand you used. Thanks for participating in the challenge!

This is lovely! A beachy theme is one of my favorites in general-the way you put the water ripples on the layers is so creative. Thanks for participating in the challenge!

Your scene is amazing, and you put so much detail into everything, including your cake, even though it's a small part of the overall page. That octopus topper is just hilarious! Thanks for participating in the challenge!

Is that.........chocolate?! Yum!

This is such a creative take on the template, I love it!

My only requirement was that I be able to recognize the cake, and I can, so you're good! I do have PNG files I can send you if you'd like, but I think you managed nicely! :lovey3:

I love that you were able to completely replace the cake stand and add the utensils and cup and saucer to create your scene. The green foliage as a topper adds some fun as well. Thanks for participating in the challenge!

This is so creative! Using a non-birthday theme and putting your photos into the layers adds a lot of interest! Thanks for participating in the challenge!

Your layout turned out fantastic! I like your choice of patterns for the layers and the contrast of the purple and green colors makes for a great page. Thanks for participating in the challenge!

I love this layout! You obviously took great care in decorating your cake, but making your grands the focus of the page and making the cake a design element results in a fabulous page. Thanks for participating in the challenge!

I love this! I love the colors, the pretty flowers you used on each layer, and the art doll who looks like she's ready for a party! Thanks for participating in the challenge!

I love the softness of the elements you chose-add it to the basket of fruit as an accent, and your entire layout has a cozy, homey feel. Thanks for participating in the challenge!

All the interest here is amazing-the lace in the background, the black and gold stand, and the wonderful texture of the layers! Thanks for participating in the challenge!

I love the interest along the edges of your layout; your flower cluster on the bottom layer is gorgeous! Thanks for participating in the challenge!

This is such an amazing layout! Using the layers as photos mats was wonderful, but taking the idea of layers and making it the theme of your layout is inspired. Thanks for participating in the challenge!

This is a fantastic take on the template!

I love your take on the challenge and the use of photos!

Love your choice of colors and pattern!

What a wonderful way to use the template!

My favorite color!
