Recycled Banner

This year for the Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet we had a theme of resourcefulness.  Each of the boys had to bring a project they had created using recycled materials.  I figured it was only fitting that I decorate with materials that I had recycled as well.  Being boys, I couldn't add too many flowers so I thought this banner made out of newspaper was the perfect touch.

I was sure to use the words for the background and colored pictures for the letters.  I backed the pennants with scrap cardstock just to give it a little extra stability.  Banners are so quick and easy using the Big Shot and the Perfect Pennants Die (#123126).  Order your supplies here.

Monograms

For a couple months, my friend Emily has been putting together some monogram cards. We made a package of 10 cards (2 of each card.) Here is just a sample of two of them. Most of the DSP that we used was retired so it was fun to use some paper that we hadn't used in awhile. They all turned out beautiful!

I've had a strong desire to get into scrapbooking again so this gave me the perfect opportunity to get another page done.

It's hard to believe this happened almost 2 1/2 years ago. I remember this day so clearly...what a strong, brave little lady at the age of 4.
