Baptismal Banner

Here's the baptismal banner I made for the occasion...  I cut them using Cricut Expression and like usual, I have to use the versatile CTMH cartridge and Ole.

 I really love this gorgeous Spring stack of DCWV.

Watch out for the souvenir...
 

Hello Kitty/Luau Birthday Banner

Here's a Hello Kitty/Luau Birthday banner I made for our neighbor's daughter.  She will be celebrating her first birthday in Hawaii. Her mother is a Samoan, she of course wants her daughter to have the Luau birthday theme but the Daddy insisted of Hello Kitty.  This was a test on my creativity so I made my best to incorporate the two themes and hopeful that they would like it.

I tried to tie each banner together the other night but I dont think I will make it easy for them to ship it to Hawaii so I took the ribbon off.  I'm pretty sure they can manage to take care of it on the big day.  So without further ado, I want to share with you now my latest banner:

 I used Hello Kitty images as a spacer between the phrase.

 I used Hello Kitty font.

 Added two different colors of hibiscus to the font.

 There it is, just waiting to be assembled...

Hope they like it and hope you like it too!

NCM Project #6 / Cricut Circle Magazine Challenge - Cricut Everyday

Here is my take for Cricut Circle Magazine Challenge - Everyday Cricut.  The challenge is to make a project using the Everyday Cricut cartridge that would define yourself at meet-ups, Crops, the Stampede, and any other circle events.  Projects varies from business cards, tags, table decor or something to swap.

I made this banner using a 5X5 scrap chipboard sheets (leftover from the Dinosaur book).  Covered the chipboards with Cricut color motif.  Then I highlighted each banner with the Cricut machine that I owned.  I matted the image using a die-cut doily from Everyday Cricut cart too, punched a hole and added some silver flower brads.  I used about an inch binder rings to hold each piece of banner.  The phrases included was computer generated since that part of the cartridge still needed to get fixed.  "I caught the bug!" was my theme.  It defines me as a Cricut hoader LOLz...

Here you go!

RECIPE:

PAPER: CTMH, KMA and Martha Stewart

TOOLS: Cricut Expression, Gypsy, Crop-A-Dile 2, PC paper trimmer, ATG, Zip Dry, Plaid pop dots and Zig 2-way glue pen

Ella's Birthday Banner

This was the 6th birthday of my darling daughter. We celebrated it despite Daddy's absence and invited a bunch of neighbors. I made sure that it was a fun-filled day for her and our neighbor Lia who is always been wonderful and kind helped us with everything that we needed for the party.  On the day of Ella's birthday, I forgot the balloons. She was complaining that every birthday should have balloons but like Lia came to my rescue.

Here's my baby rather big girl on her 6th Birthday:

 The purple bouquet called bear hug was sent by Daddy...

Here's the birthday banner I made.  Too bad, there isn't any Princess and the Frog cartridge so I made due of what I have here.  This is also my take for Cricut Circle Blog Monthly Challenge - Banner.

 

 I string beaded stamped sentiment that says, "Happy Birthday, "Seize the Cake" and "It's your Birthday!"

I added this so after the party, we can take this out and still use the Ella banner. I promised her that I would make party hats/crowns and table centerpiece but I didn't have enough time to do those things anymore.  The banner alone took me 2 days to make it.  Well, I'm learning, right :-)...

 I used Storybook, Happily Ever After and Once Upon a Princess (Princesses, gowns and labels) and used the color motif of "Princess and Frog" theme.

 

 

 Added Prima flowers, satin ribbons and some bling to emebllish the banner.

 Oh, I hand banner using a quarter inch in diameter wooden dowel.
