Spring Banners




Catie and I made SPRING banners last night. Originally, wanted to cut ovals to create 6 flowers, however, the ovals are too round. The 'flowers' looked more like EGGS piled on top of each other. I used the CM Ovals, 2 sizes. I actually USED my Cricut to cut the letters. It took a few tries to get the right font size. I actually LIKED it!! It makes me want to get more font cartridges. I only have 2, but they are very exciting!!! Catie used the first letters we made with the Cricut. I think they were too big and didn't stand out on my ovals. We recut in brown. I thought the "I" did not print, so we cut a piece of scrap to make the 'I' and used the flowers to DOT it. I used Martha Stewart glitter on the edges of the circles. I bought on of those fancy glue pens, which made glittering SOOOO much easier!!! Eyelets and ribbon to string them.




Aaron's comment, after 4 hours of work, "Oh no, more banners??" It's been a long time since my last banner kick!!!!
