My DGD had two birthday parties for her 6th birthday. Her mom made a cute purse cake for the party with her young girlfriends. I thought it would be fun to add some purses to my page. I made a template to resemble the cake my DIL made, then traced it onto my cardstock and cut the pieces out. The journaling is hidden inside the purses and is attached to the handles so it can be slid out from the open top of the page (see inset in photo.)

What a fun party this must have been! That cake is glorious and your photos are a terrific way to remember your GD's 6th birthday. This is a fabulous layout and I love the template you've created.

I think maybe my daughter should have a purse themed birthday party, so I can make a page just like this! Those purses are fabulous, and I like the neat layout of your photos.
OMG! How stinkin' CUTE is THAT! Gee, I wonder if my soon-to-be 10 year old would like this as a theme...maybe I can borrow someone elses little girl...TOOOOOOO CUTE!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the WHOLE page. And DIL is very talented too :-)
