Carver's Birthday!!!

Today was Carver's 2nd birthday party. It was a blast and Carver had a lot of fun - even though he went the whole day without a nap!

Here's the banner I made. The details will be at the bottom of the post.

I made these big dump trucks to hang around the house. We had to move the party inside because of the rain. (B is for Boy, fit to page - 10.75in)

The birthday boy! If you want to see more pictures you can go to our family blog, The Garland Fam.

A Banner for my Nephew

My nephew turned one on May 10th and so, of course, I had to make a banner for him. :) I wanted to try out the banners on Birthday Bash since I need to do a banner for monkey's birthday. I love how it turned out but I'm going to add another pennant between Happy and Birthday that'll be blank so that I can add something for if they have a themed birthday (ie. dump truck).

Clearing the Clutter Challenge #7 - Finally!

Better late than never... right? Carver's feeling a little better. He's still got a nasty cough but his nose isn't running anymore so I think we're on our way out of the woods.

Ok, onto the project! I was asked to make a banner for baby boy shower since I was making this one for a girl. These will be used for every shower that my church hosts. And I figured, since I'm making one, why not make two? I'm toying with the idea of doing a few craft fairs and I'd sell this there.

**Carver's actually taking a nap in there while I take pictures. haha Gotta love a good flash!**

It's a Girl Banner

Here's the banner I made for the baby shower last weekend. Here's how I made it:

Take a 6x12 sheet of paper and make marks at 5" and 10" on the top. On the bottom make marks at 2.5" and 7.5". You can draw cheat lines if you want and then cut. A 12x12 will make 6 triangles. For the second layer, cut triangles that are 1/4" smaller (5.5x12 and 4.5" wide).

The only place that I could find to take pictures was on Carver's crib. haha All of the other walls had too much of a glare.
