I am so excited to be a guest designer for My Sheri Crafts! This week's challenge is "Party Favours" - and it's actually a two week challenge which means that you have 14 days to get your submissions in. The theme is perfect for me as all my children have August birthdays - so our month will be filled with parties, cakes and lots and lots of fun!
I decided to make a banner for my youngest, who is turning 9 years old. I chose some bright, fun colours for the banner. The main scalloped squares were cut with Celebrations and the letters for "NINE" were cut with Mickey Font. I embossed the top layers of the letters with two different Cuttlebug folders. The party snakes are from Create a Critter. I assembled the banner with some ribbon and added some tulle to finish things off.
I actually took some time this week to make this banner and also created a card which I will post tomorrow. (My other projects for this month were all completed before my July class started. I have next to no free time - but it was such a delight to turn on my Cricut again and take a mental rest. I have just one week left of classes. I am enjoying them and learning so much but am certainly looking forward to a break too!
*I've also added this project at Decorate to Celebrate for their child's birthday challenge.
really cute, the colors are perfect.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on being a Guest Designer Kate! This banner is sooo CUTE! Oops I better not say that or your Son will think I'm nuts! LOL It's a COOL Banner! Looks like it was fun to make! And All August Birthdays -WOW! That's a lot of cake! My oldest, My youngest and I have our birthdays within so many days of each other so we try not to "Do" cake all that much... thank goodness I let them chose their Dessert and it usually ends up being something else.... Otherwise we would be all "Caked" out! LOL
