Spring!

Happy Tuesdays everyone!  So I am currently at work, in the middle of a night shift, and have found a few quiet moments to come in and clean up this post.  Warning it is picture heavy, and my pictures are not great - Halifax is grey today, after a snow storm, and taking pictures of this project was torture!

Last Friday, Peachy Keen announced their newest challenge - a 3D project about weather.  I immediately thought, banner!  I have no idea why a banner occurred to me to be a 3D project, because I'm not sure it really is, but for some reason it did.  It has lots of dimension and hangs on a wall... I don't know if it counts or not, but I made it for that challenge, so I am going to enter it and see what happens :)  Here it is:

So, a picture of the full banner - it was VERY tricky to photograph the whole thing, but at least it gives you the idea of how it looks.  I put it between my living room and my dining room.  I love it there.  You can see it from every where.  I think I am going to start making banners for everything.  I am LOVING them :)

So, here is one end of the banner.  Last week I made a cute little card that I loved for BBTB2 challenge.  I decided to re-create it as part of my banner.  I cut the panels from Birthday Bash at 4 inches each.  I thought it looked like a flower...  The duck is from Create a Critter, as is the umbrella.  I used Peachy Keens Critter Faces for the duck, and for the Umbrella,  I used Peachy Keen Boy Mates.

All the letters were cut from Winter Woodland cartridge.  I thought the pink and green were nice and springy.  I pop dotted them off the page to give some dimension, and then pop dotted the little bugs and animals up even higher to make them jump off the page and give it that 3D feel.  The ladybug is cut from CAC and her cute little face is from Peachy Keen Princess Faces. She has a little bling on her antenna, and I think she is ADORABLE!

The little lamb is from CAC - shocking I know.  I stamped her face with Peachy Keens Critter Faces.  I doodled on all the little pieces with my Sakura pens and my Stampin Up markers.  I also used my Stampin Up pastels to do some of the chalking.

The bee is one of my favorite cuts from CAC.  I love her!  I also stamped her face with Peachy Keen Princess Faces.  She has pearls on her antenna.  Cute huh?

The tree on this panel is from Sweethearts, and the tulips are from CAC.  I tried to figure out where to stamp a face on this one, but everything was just a little too small - oh well - them's the breaks :)

I love this rainbow!  She is cut from Simply Charmed, and I don't think she could be cuter!!  Her face is from the Peachy Keen Princess Faces - they really are my go to girly face stamps -they are so cute.

The little butterfly is from CAC.  I put green bling on her antenna, and doodled her up a bit.  I made her green and purple in honour of Fantabulous Cricut, who are celebrating their 100th challenge this week.  We were challenged to make a project in their colors - turquoise, green and purple - and voila!

The final panel has the skunk and sun from CAC.  The Skunks face is from Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed - I bought that one months ago, but this is the first time I used it.  It is so cute!  The sun's little face is from Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kids.  

Don't ya just love it??  I DO!!  It is adorable, and my kids love it too!  Yay :)  Thanks for popping by today.  I will have two projects for you tomorrow.  My Cricut Cardz Challenge DT project, and my Whimsical Wednesday DT project, so be sure to come and visit :)
