BANNERS ABOUND

So this week my work mate Kaydee is celebrating her birthday and of corse why buy a card when one can be made then I saw that one of my favorite challenge blog sites City Crafter Challenge was having a birthday banner challenge and I figured what a fun inspiration! So I took that challenge and with help from Gecko Galz and Opticillusions I created this charming little fairy card for Kaydee.

So for this card I used the Free gift collage sheet "Butterfly Girls" (you get it when you make a purchase at Gecko Galz this month) and the party hat and cup cake from the "birthday bash" collection, also I got the banners from Opticillusions "The Measure of Time" pack. The paper is Graphics 45 and a paper doilie by wilton and added some Ranger Icecicles for bling.

I also did a great mermaid card for my friend Julie who loves mermaids and this time I used the banner as a decoration rather than the usual banners.

So for this card I used another Gecko Galz Image for the "Nouveau" collage sheet along with GCD papers, vintage pearl buttons, May Arts ribbon and paper banners.

So I thought it might be fun to share one of my favorite banners and you can go forth create an amazing card or other project and enter the City Crafters challenge yourself!

Happy Crafting Everyone!
