Banner

My new creative adventure: A Birthday Banner.

I could not find any 4oth birthday decorations, that I really liked. I shopped several different stores. So...I thought "I can make a banner...right?!"

So, I used my Cricut machine to cut out circle shapes and the letters. I punched holes and used eyelets to secure the holes. I found some black ribbon to run through the eyelets and to hold the banner together. I added few Razorback stickers...to keep with the theme.


And....Here is the finished banner:





Also, I decorated this "It's my Birthday" pin for Allen. He was a pretty good sport about wearing. I bought the pin and simply added some ribbon and embellishments.



*I promise this my last post about Allen's Birthday!

Awesome! That is really cute. I need to start thinking about planning a surprise 30th bday for my husband. He hates surprises and birthdays so I think it is going to be fun! :)
