It seems that I’m not the only one with a reason to celebrate. Stampin’ Celebration has madeover their blog and are throwing a bit of a party! Here is their inspiration challenge for this week:

I also saw that the Operators over at Stampin’ 411 have a sketch challenge this week and it is a great one. It includes tearing on the base layer. Always a great way to add quick texture to a project!

While I love the balloons, I also noticed the little pennants on the table of the inspiration piece. I decided to pull out my Brights Patterns Designer Series Paper Pack and my Party Hearty stamp set to see what happened.

The little hats turned into pennants! Oh, I love this stamp set for the variety of cards it makes! The words are from a retired A La Carte set called Birthday Wish. These little sets really are super for specific stamp needs! I colored a piece of thread with my Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Marker so I could “hang” the pennants. I really love the torn Melon Mambo piece with the pop of Daffodil Delight torn above it.

Thanks again to all my followers! I’m looking forward to another fun year of stampin’ and blogging! I’ll be back tomorrow to tell you about my new blog header and some fun with MDS.

Isn’t that funny we were thinking the same thing? I love your cleaner design, focusing on the banner. I may have to give this another go!

Darling card Jennifer! I love how you created your banner. I always forget that little trick with this fun set. Cute and cheerful colors too. Great job with both challenges. Thanks for playing along at the SCIC!!!

Ooooh, I love this!! The banner is just perfect and what a great use of your Stampin’ Up! goodies! I love how you colored your thread with a marker – great idea! Thanks for playing along with us at Stampin’ Celebration!
