Pretty to Practical Artwork for Children

I designed a fun banner for Amelia's birthday using June Stamp of the month, A Bushel and a Peck and the Central Park Paper pack and cardstock. The banner pieces were cut on cricut using retired CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge. The stamped images were stamped, colored and enlarged and cut on an Explore.  

The birthday party was to be held outside so I decided to change the banner to make it more kid (and weather) pactical.

I used jute to lace it so it could easily be tried to a tree branch.

 Grampa signed the card, Grams added 6 candles
and Noah hung the banner. Party on!

So Amelia loved her card, but immediately took it apart to show her mom the 6 candles. The laminated banner lasted the evening and will continue to be a play item in the future.

Always, Alayne
