Fiesta!

Fiesta just wrapped up here in San Antonio. It is a great celebration filled with food, parades and a carnival.

My daughter's day care celebrated by having its own parade. Each child created a "float" made from a shoebox. Then each class walked around the school showing the others kids their creations. It was adorable.

My daughter is only 21 months, so she needed some help, but she had a blast making her float. We worked on it over a few days, and she was so excited.

I used Pretty Pennants and Alphalicious for the banner. The digi image of the dancing bears is from Paper Crafting World.

Here is my Madelyn working on her float. She colored the digi with crayons, glued the paper and flowers to the box, and added glitter glue to the banner.

I was lucky enough to leave work for a bit to see the parade. It was the cutest thing. All of the kids were so proud of themselves and loved showing off their floats.

Thanks for stopping by!

Wishing You a Banner Year

As I've mentioned before, whenever there is a birthday where I work, everyone signs a card for the birthday girl or boy. Today is my coworker's birthday, so I made this card for her. I used Pretty Pennants for the banner and used my Fiskars clear stamps for the sentiment.

Inside the card, I decorated both sides since several people were going to sign it. The sentiment inside is also from the Fiskars birthday set.

Thanks!

Birthday Card

When it's someone's birthday in my office, we always pass around a card for everyone to sign and we decorate the birthday boy/girl's desk. I made this card for a male co-worker. It is the most masculine paper I have, so I have to make a trip to the craft store soon to get more options.

This is a simple card, and I used Pretty Pennants for the cut. I also love the paper on the matching envelope. I got inspiration from this great card.

The inside of the card:

Thanks!
