BOO!!!!

Did I scare you? I mean it has been eons since I last posted anything! I miss my blogging and my blogging friends!! Life is just busy and unfortunately blogging is one of those things that gets pushed to the bottom of the "to-do" list all the time! Apparently it is frowned upon to completely neglect your children so that you could be at the computer all the time or making cards and crafty things! Whatever!!! ;)
Anyway....here is a "BOO" banner I made. I saw some pictures from convention of a cute one that I wanted to make...so this is my version! I loved using the pennant banner differently than just the typical triangle I had been making all my banners out of. For the BOO letters I just printed out the word in a font I liked and cut it out and added black stickles to it!
I hope you have a wonderful relaxing Sunday!!!
Thank you so much for coming by!

A Summer Banner

I had to laugh as I started to post this...it is so like me to wait till summer is almost over to show you the banner I made for "summer". Here we are 4 days till school starts and I am just now getting around to taking pics and posting about this!! It has been the busiest summer we have ever had! Fun, but super busy! So forgive me...I really hope to show you the fall one I want to make in the fall, not in like in January or something! :)
I used a Scrap Kit for this banner. I loved the bright colors in the kit and thought they were perfect summery colors. The letters are printed from the computer from one of my fonts. I cut out each one and then glued and glittered section by section....it took forever and I was covered in glitter for about 3 days! It turned out cute though, so it was worth it!
I hope you have a fantastic weekend! Tomorrow starts our tax-free weekend so the kids and I are getting up early to head out school clothes shopping. We are hoping to avoid some of the crowds by going early! Monday is the day...boy school snuck up on me this year!!!

Spring Banner

Hello! I am finally able to post something! My computer decided to go all haywire on me. I couldn't open some of my files...some things were lost...I couldn't download my pictures. It's been a major headache! We are slowly getting things fixed...I think we figured out the problem. (when I say we, I mean my hubby...I just sat next to him pretty useless while he fixed it!)
I started this banner back at the beginning of March. (embarrassing, I know) I was so excited to use the Walk in the Park dsp. I finally finished and hung the banner yesterday! I love the way it turned out! The chipboard birds and branches are soooo cute! I used Summer Love Rub-Ons and the Great Friend stamp set. I inked all the edges in chocolate chip. After I started putting it together I wasn't sure that grey paper was really saying "spring" but after it was all finished I really love it! I love the different color combo! :) I am really having fun making banners for the different holidays and seasons. It's been a great way for me to use up some of that paper I end up hoarding! I am getting a little better!
Anyway...hope you like it! Thanks for lookin'! Have a super Monday and hope your week starts out wonderful!!...chat at ya later!

A banner for Kyler

Yesterday was Kyler's birthday...my baby is 6 I can hardly believe it! Time goes by waaayyyy too fast! I made him a special birthday banner. Instead of doing Happy Birthday, I did his name so he can hang it on his bedroom wall when it finally comes off the the mantle. He loved it! I used the Cosmo Cricket Robot paper I have. I bought a ton of it when it first came out....it is great boy paper! :) The letters are chipboard with white craft ink and some white fun flock on it. It turned out cute and was pretty fast to put together...I did the whole thing yesterday afternoon.
Have a great day and weekend! I am going with some friends to a hotel and a girls weekend tomorrow and Saturday. I can't wait...it will be so fun to have some fun girl time! :)

Be Mine

Be Mine Valentine! I have been wanting to make banners ever since I saw this die cut way back when! I ordered it right away and then...have I had any time to make a banner?! Nope...not till this week! I am wanting to make one for each season &/or holiday to hang on my mantle! I think this turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself! I used my Candy Lane dsp and some cardstock for the pennants. My letters are from the sticky cut letters (also a must-have that I ordered months ago and am just now using for the first time!) I stuck the letters on vanilla paper and then cut them out and adhered them to the circles. I wanted them to look the same since I was using dazzling diamonds and not have a different look from the different colored circles. After I embellished them up I added riding hood red/vanilla ribbon and hung it up! It really was very easy! It took some time but very easy to put together!! Oh my heavens...I gotta run...time to get the boys from school!...time goes by so fast when I am blogging! :) Have a fabulous day...chat at ya later!
