it's a banner day!

Barb has picked our challenge this week at Seize the Birthday - put your sentiment on a banner. I dug out a vintage Technique Tuesday stamp set which fit the challenge perfectly. I pulled out my sewing machine to stitch the pieces together. To make this process easier - I put all the pieces together on a long thin double sided tape and then ran them through the sewing machine. I put some glitter on some of the pieces but it's hard to see.  Really like how this turned out!

Hope you can play along with us! Check out the blog for the rest of the beautiful creations from the DT as well as our Surprise Party Guest Bonnie and Wheels winner Denise.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Hope you have a terrific day.

Happy Thursday my crafty friends... hope you are doing well.  I'm particularly excited as I'm getting vaccinated (jab #1) this weekend!  I know it's still a long road and many people around the world don't even have access yet but I'm glad things are moving forward. FYI: Unicef Canada is fundraising for equitable vaccine access.

Colleen has chosen bouquets for our theme at Seize the Birthday this week! This is not my original idea - borrowed it from my friend Sue.  I love dark purple so much but I don't seem to use it as much as I should (but it is hard to photograph).

Hope you can join us this week for some beautiful creations (or just birthday of course). Head over to the blog to see what our Surprise Party Guest, Lynda and the rest of the team came up with.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day and terrific weekend.

Hey crafty friends... my only question this week is how the heck did it get to be August?  Feels like July just started!  Had a great July - it's my birthday month and I was able to do a lot of celebrating with friends. 

Over at Seize the Birthday, we are doing flowers this week.  I must admit, I was having a hard time with this card.  Flowers aren't usually a problem for me... but apparently when I have to do one, they are a problem. So I stuck with clean and simple for this card.  Let's hope my mojo returns for our next challenge. (There is some Wink of Stella on the flower but it's hard to see)

Be sure to head over to the blog to give Su, our Surprise Party Guest, and the rest of the design team some love for their fantastic floral creations.

Happy August and have a wonderful upcoming weekend. Thanks for stopping by.
