St.Patrick's Day Banner

Oh so cute right?
The full banner....trying to keep things simple and easy so it stays fun and gets done! "fun and done"
 So, how cute are these two Leprechauns? My little B had fun playing with them for a bit before they ended up on the banner today and I have big plans for them.  They come with a few fun images in the Lettering Delights set called "Luck of the Irish"

For some reason my girls are SO into any holiday (wonder why). Even St Patrick's Day must be made into a big event. This year, for the first time, we will be making Leprechaun traps. These guys are going to end up in the traps in the morning as if  Leprechauns who visited us have attempted to fool us. Of course they will leave behind some chocolate "gold" and hopefully it will be an exciting morning!
These guys have tons of layers! I added some extra dimension using dimensional tape as well.
I waited until the banner was up to place them for best effect.



This is a centerpiece. Isn't the rainbow fabulous? I hope to get a better shot and show how nicely it layers.
This one is on the right. :)

Welcome Spring!

Well as usual, spring here has been swinging from warm(ish) sunny days to cold rainy ones.This year, in addition to vinyl bunnies that hop along the pillars and walls at my house I made this fun "welcome spring" project.  I was inspired by the recent Cricut Circle Blog Challenge to create this banner, and even though I didn't make the deadline but it was fun!  I saw a ribbon flower similar to this in the recent Scrapbook Trends project book and wanted to incorporate it on this project. Hope fully I can keep this for next spring as well!

 The banner was created with a cut from Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge and layered with a letter in frame cut from A Child's Year Cartridge. I  added a few flourishes and flowers cut from the Elegant Cakes cartridge, of all things, and used a few papers on hand from a creative basics kit from Close to my Heart. I love those kits since they give you a good amount of a 2 double sided patterned papers and ribbon to work with for a bigger project. I added some solid card stock, some sandylion Kelli Pannaci stickers, and some Target dollar section brads form my stash for finishing touches! Of course the blue bunnies! :) They were originally supposed to be green so they would hop from right to left but I liked the blue better for an accent. :) Hope your Spring is a great one!!

Thanks for stopping by and adding your thoughts....
