Aubrey's bedroom banner

This is a little banner I made for my sweet baby girl. I used it both for her birthday party and as a decoration for her bedroom.

It is made out of recycled bar coasters, doilies, patterned paper scraps and bits of embellishments. I couldnt get a decent picture outside without it being tied up and its too dark in her bedroom to try. Here is hoping you can get the idea of how cool it is.....

A few close ups

 

The papers are the glittery BELLA line from Best Creation Inc. There are also bits of hambly transparency and a few crocheted flowers thrown in. Its my very first attempt at a banner and im very happy with it. :) It looks great in Aubrey's nursery!

The BIG A

Aubrey's birthday party was Sunday. It was a great time. We decided to go with a circus theme instead of Alice in Wonderland due to time constraints (will do Alice next year I think) I do not have any pictures of the decorations yet. I was way to busy to even think of getting my camera out so I am relying on my mom and my photograph wiz brother for pictures. Fingers crossed they took pictures of things other than Aubrey.

Since I dont have pictures of the party yet Im going to share a few of the little home decor items I made for her party. This one it isnt really circus themed but I figured it could be used for her room after the party. Here is what my neice's refer to as the BIG A. 

 Its just a simple paper mache letter that I painted "diva pink" then used Mod Podge to cover it with paper.   Papers are the new Best Creation BELLA line. They are so girly and sparkly.. I kept it pretty simple to showcase the A.

here are a few close up pictures

It was a girly circus we used hot pink, lime green and orange for our color scheme instead of the traditional red, blue and yellow. These papers were perfect.

Stop back tomorrow for the banner I made out of bar coaster using the same papers

that Twine is DIVINE

Its MONDAY! That means its time for my weekly project for the Cookin Up Creations design team. This week its all about the layouts! I used the DIVINE Twine from Whisker Graphics that was in my packet. I'm seriously LOVING this divine twine. It's so easy to use and adds such a pop to my pages. I find myself wanting EVERY color! Who knew a little thing like bakers twine could add so much to a page

On this layout I used the divine twine to make butterfly trails

I used the Best Creation BELLA line that I was lucky enough to WIN on their blog contest a few weeks ago. They were so generous and sent me 2 of each paper!! Im using it to create things for Aubrey's birthday party next week because the colors are perfect! I have an banner, an altered alpha and 2 layouts finished with this awesome line. Its so sparkly!

and speaking of the lovely BELLA.... here is another layout. Its perfect for lil girlies!
