16 Birthday Wishes

Labels: , , - Saturday, August 27, 2011

I made this card for my daughter's friend, along with a banner and a yard sign.
Her Sweet 16 theme is dots, pink, black & white.

 

I used scraps from the banner. I think the pattern paper is Paper Studio.
The 16 is 7Gypsies stamps and the Wishes for you is a Studio G stamp from M's.

This is the yard sign made from a poster board, circles punched from the scraps leftover from the banner, and I cut 'Emma's 16' with the cricut using the Plantin SchoolBook cartridge.


Here's all the stuff waiting to go to the party..


Even the bag has scraps on it!
I used her initial and stuck the dots on. Inside that pink bag is a big zebra blanket I just know she'll LOVE. I hope she has a wonderful Sweet 16 !





This week has been crazy! Hopefully next week I can get a few things knocked off my "to make" list.
I picked up the Teresa Collins Sophisticated cartridge at M's the other day. Can't wait to get a chance to make some cuts from it. I'm still trying to figure out what to do for my ATC's.




Sports theme banner

Labels: , - Thursday, September 9, 2010

A dear friend of mine has the most precious baby. He is such a sweet chunk of love. I offered to make a banner for his room. She is going with vintage sports as the decor. Now this is my first 'boy' banner. I looked at it for the longest time wondering what to do or add other than balls. I wasn't thrilled. Almost everything I make that needs that 'something', usually involves something sparkly. And sparkles wasn't gonna cut it this time. Naturally, it was something that's right there on my desk that I use plenty of....INK. All I did was ink the edges to give it more dimension and a bit of an aged look. It made a big difference and I was satisfied, not wanting to overdo it.
I used MTC for the collegiate letters and Sports Mania cart for the balls.


I lost Happy

Labels: - Friday, July 23, 2010

Last night I pulled the banners out of the box and realized that Happy was lost on this one. This was my 3rd banner and all hand cut (pre-cricut). Just thinking about it hurts my hands. Ouch. But it really SPARKLES! My son's birthday fell on Mardi Gras that year. He had King Cake and pizza and I decorated with Mardi Gras stuff (super easy) and we decorated plain Mardi Gras masks for an activity.

Girly Birthday Banner

Labels: , -

My daughter couldn't make up her mind on a color scheme for her 13th birthday party, so she picked quite a few papers from the same line. I made white cupcakes (118) with pink K's and 13's. And we made the pom- pom things ( like Martha, except hers were gorgeous naturally) to hang on the wall and ceiling. Let's not forget the absurd amount of crepe paper for streamers. It was everywhere. I made 13 - 13's to hang randomly and 1 huge 13 for the door.  My house reminded me of a pinata / festival. It was such a pretty party. My girls love to be so involved with the decorating/planning part of their parties now and so do their friends.

Baby Banner

Labels: , - Sunday, June 27, 2010

My daughter's teacher was having a baby and wanted to give her teacher something special.
Naturally, she wanted me to make a banner. So she brought home something that went with the decor of the baby's room to give me an idea of where to go with it. After much going, this is where I went..

(I'm not a photographer, so the pics aren't great ; )


You can't see the detail in the pictures but there are many.
And the colors didn't come out true. I have much to learn when it comes to taking pictures.
I think this is one of my favorites as of yet.
And her teacher loved it, so it was good!

Come in and Sit a Spell

I wanted something just a lil festive to get in the spirit of Halloween.
The letters were cut using the Blackletter cart.
