Now on to what I created…

Being that my 4 yr old will be turning 5 next weekend, I decided to make a birthday banner! I wanted it to be bright and fun, yet girly and pretty. I added some big, colorful IAR flowers to the beginning and the end of the banner, but kept the rest fairly flat so it would be easy to fold up and put away between birthdays =) Taking a picture of the banner turned out to be a bit difficult, since it is soooo long, lol. Her party will be outside in the backyard, and I will be nailing the banner somewhere but I haven't figured out where yet, lol.
The large & small scallops where cut using spellbinders dies, and the circle sandwiched in between is a coaster. The letters were cut out with my cricut using the StoryBook cartridge. Links and codes for the IAR flowers will be below =)

Turquoise Roses - 25 Mixed Color Pack - Code : R40 - 427 

Yellow Roses - 25 Mixed Tangerine Orange and Yellow - Code : R 40 -1

White Roses - 25 White Paper Flowers - Code : R40 - 70
