Happy Anniversary!

Welcome to Terrific Tuesday here and over at EXPLORING CRICUT! I am excited to share a 30th anniversary banner and other decorations that I made for some close friends for their surprise party that their children gave them! I used Lyrical Letters for the font, Elegant Edges for the signs and Gyspy Wanderings for the fleur de lis. I embossed each circle with a rose embossing folder. I love the extra dimension that the embossing gives this project!

This was the sign that was tied to the basket where cards were placed.

This was hung in the middle of the banner.

Close-up to show detail.

The banner was so long I had to lay it on my floor to take a pic. My daughter took pics at the party so she has the one of it hanging on the wall.

More detail close-ups.

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to check out EXPLORING CRICUT everyday for lots of creative inspiration and to play along with our current challenge!

I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the fro...

If you just happened upon my blog, be sure to go back to the beginning at Creations With Kathryn . She is our wonderful host for this hop! On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX. What is more telling of Spring than flowers?!
