A project for the Hearts-n-Crafts Scrapbook Store (my favorite). I am loving being on the design team. Anyway I made this awesome banner. It doesn't show up well in the photos...it is much cuter in person. Go by Hearts-n-Crafts and see it in person. It will probably be offered as a class so sign up while you're there. You can pick up all the papers and stickers there as well.

I used the Reminisce Celebration paper line with the Reminisce Made in the USA Stickers. It was so easy with so many great patterns to choose from. I added some silver stickles and some red, white, and blue tulle.

I used the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut the banner pieces and the stars but you could also use the Birthday Bash cartridge. I also used the Ashlyn's Alphabet Cricut cartridge to cut out the letters. Don't forget Hearts-n-Crafts rents Cricut cartridges if you don't have it in your collection.

I added red & blue ribbons in between each banner piece just dangling down after I took the pictures & it really added to the cuteness.

The pillow box was super easy. Just cut the box on the Cricut. Used a Martha Stewart border punch. Made a rosette out of a 1 1/2 inch x 24 inch strip...scoring every 1/4 inch. Then stuck another of the great stickers on it...piece of cake!!!

I also made a scrapbook double layout but that will be my next post. Hope you enjoyed my projects.
