Don’t worry your scrappy little dashboards Bloggers. I made something normal for a change! My pending projects are so crazy fabulous I am giving you this little piece normality before I go way off the richter scale next week on the weird-o-meter!
Over at Scrappin Chics Challenge blog they are having a ‘Banners’ challenge for August. Join me! You have until 28th August.
Banners. Easy Right!!!!?
Except if you are anything like me and pick up the Little Yellow Bicycle Cupcake collection paper and decide you want THAT banner. RIGHT there, THAT little ONE in the middle!
Trust me.
It’s more than fussy cutting.
It’s a blend of fussy, tricky and yukky cutting.
'Fussicky' cutting.
Luckily the secondary banner of LOVE down the bottom was easy!
My collection of flowers. I will share my easy technique for making the rolled ribbon flower later this week. Some Prima flowers and others were fussicky cut out of the Cupcake diecuts paper.
The whole layout captures that magical moment in the 1970’s on a table in the backyard when we were all hypnotised by a birthday cake, even though the candles hadn’t even been lit yet.
The CANDi makes that LYB Cupcake love heart lift up.
Thanks Scrappin Chics for a fun challenge. I have another banner challenge for you tomorrow which is COMPLETELY different, bring your dark sunglasses with you to your blog dashboard tomorrow!
