first banner

I am trying something new this time.  I have not made a banner before, and I actually just bought myself a banner board so I could easily make banners, but for this time, I wanted something different.  I used the Sunday Best file from Scrappy Dew http://www.scrappydew.com/products/my-sunday-best/?aff=4 or it also comes in an expansion pack.  Anyway I only used a couple of the key pieces.  My son is getting baptized soon and this is the banner I wanted to make for him.  I can't believe how quickly he is growing up.  I kept going back and forth on how I wanted to do the ties and bow ties but I like the way it turned out.  (I had to add the apostrophe to the word it's and I almost put it on a bow tie) I still need to attach it to whatever string I'm going to use and of course I keep going back and forth on how I want to do that as well.  Now I get to go figure out how to make dog tag invitations for his birthday.

Expecting

We get a new ornament for our tree every year and my favorite one is from the first time we were expecting, it is a bear couple and the mommy bear has a big tummy.  Naturally, this was one of my favorite files since the first time I saw it.  Something about the cute memory of a miracle inside.  It is from Scrappy Dew and it has moved to the vault in the 2012 files.  You can sign up for that here http://www.scrappydewmembers.com/members/  There are so many files in the vault, I use it all the time.
I have to apologize for the pictures, I don't usually have the photos on the page yet so the flash didn't want to cooperate, also my phone died and I only have a very old, not so great camera to use.
