Dessert Bar Banner

     Took a while but I finally found it...a photo of the dessert bar banner I had made for Ysabella's birthday party last April 8th. I was actually looking for a different photo when I happened to see this. I didn't know our volunteer photographer (thanks, Aivs!) was able to capture the banner in full view.

"Ysabella's Sweet Shop" Banner

     I made the banner using the following Cricut cartridges: Birthday Bash (banner), Ribbons & Rosettes (rosettes) and Alphalicious (letters). Colors I used: Kraft (banner base), Cream (banner), Pink (letters), and Pink/Green patterned papers (rosettes). I strung the pieces together with a ribbon. Super-easy to make. This can also be created without a Cricut. Simple cutting with scissors will do for the banner shape, and then the letters can just be enlarged and printed out from a word-processing software. There's a million fonts available on the web nowadays so the letters should not be a problem at all.

     This was another banner I made for that day. It says "Happy Birthday Ysabella". I altered the colors on this one a little bit, and I used Mother's Day Bouquet Cricut cartridge for the flowers.

     I hope this helps anyone who's planning to make a diy banner. I just find them really pretty and they add some character to any kind of party or celebration.

A Cricut Cake Topper

     Hello! Another weekend flying by so fast... I want to share a cake topper I made out of my Cricut. My co-worker Kat baked a cake for our boss and we used the topper to decorate it. The sentiment is from the Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge and the banner and letters are from the Birthday Bash cart. It's held by 2 lollipop sticks. I used mini glue dots to stick them together. I just thought the mini banner looked so cute, something different. I used some floss to string the banner together. 

     'Hope your weekend's fun!
