Birthday Banner

Good morning and Happy Thursday! This means the weekend is almost here! Hooray!!! Do you have any fun plans for Memorial Day? We are just planning on hanging out with the kids, possibly pulling out the kiddie pools, BBQing and maybe having a few beers in the process. Since it's going to be super hot this weekend, I was thinking we should remain low key! Apparently we will have temperatures in the high 90's! Yikes!! Here in St. Louis we get lots of humidity to go along with that heat. And it is NOT fun! 

With today being Thursday, it is my day for a project over at the Happy N Scrappin' blog. I created a banner for a friend of mine from High School for her son's first birthday. She wanted something that she could use at the party, for photos and also hang in his room year round. Thanks to Doodlebug and their Boy's Only Collection, this banner was a piece of cake! (hehe... just realized the pun!) 

My friend's son's name is Konnor, so obviously, that's what it needed to say! I love the dark blue against the green cardstock and patterned papers! It really pops! 

A side view. I love photographing banners on my backyard fence... they look super cute!!  This fence seems to be a hot spot for taking photos of projects recently! 

Here are all of the individual pennants of the banner. After I took these photos and sent them to my friend she decided that she would prefer the banner without the puff balls. (can't remember what they are called!) So, what's the easy way to get rid of them? Cut them off of course! I just cut off the little balls and now the banner looks even better! I can say she was right about them not needing to be there! Now I just have to pack it up and ship it off! I'm so excited! 

Thanks so much for stopping by and saying hi!! 

And remember that on Sunday, I will make my debut over at I Heart {ippity}! I can't wait!!!!
