SUMMER pennant

Hi everyone,

This is a pennant I made using the Stampin Up! die for pennants. I love this die!! it is so much fun to use. Have you tried making a pennant yet?? The paper is also from Stampin Up! (last year's catalog, "Summer Picnic"). I have to say... I love SU's themed paper sets. Everything just goes together so nicely!
I did add some other embellishments. I mean - how could I not add stuff when there is SO much cute summer things available! The letters were cut using my cricut.

Pennants and banners are such a fun way to make something decorative for your home. Something nice, simple and fun! Easy to put out... and best of all - easy to store!! You will have to try one!!

Where did the weekend go?

Here it is... late Sunday night. Where did the weekend go?? Time just flies by! They boys kept us busy all weekend - running here, take me there... a little homework, etc. I visited my very good friend Debbie on Saturday. It was such a nice night. I always have such a great time with her! I spent half of today trying to pick up and organize in my craft room. It is amazing how much time it can take to organize!! I have a good size room and yet I am running out of space! How can that be? So, I am constantly trying to come up with better ways of organizing.

I did get to play for a little while. I finished a project that I had started last week ("What a Difference a Year Makes"). I saw this layout one time - way after my kids were babies - and they had taken a picture of their baby with a stuffed animal. Then every month, they would take another picture, in the same spot, with the same stuffed animal. They did this for a year - and then put all the pictures in a layout. I thought that was a BRILLIANT idea! And of course, way too late for me to do. (bummer!) I made a "pocket" book - chipboard covers with pockets inside using a scrapping kit from Stampin Up. You can put each month's picture on the insert - for a total of 12 pictures. It comes out so awesome - you can really see how much your little one has grown!
