Birthday Banner

I completed my first birthday banner today. I have SO much to do before Hudson's first birthday on Saturday. I'm also making the favor bags for the party. It's amazing what you can do with brown paper lunch sacks! Pics to come later on those.. Not quite finished yet!
But here's a pic of the banner. Now, keep in mind, this is my FIRST banner.. And you learn with experience. I'm sure you can go to Etsy and find a cuter one.. But I think it turned out pretty cute to be my first one.

Cricut Cartridge Sales

Now that Matt got paid and our income taxes will soon be in I am able to order my Valentine present from him! Yes, we have been on a tight budget since Christmas.. But who hasn't, right?
Anyway, my sons first birthday party is monkey themed and I have desperately been trying to get my hands on Create a Critter for the cute little monkey image it has! Doing research to try and find the best place to buy cartridges (besides Dirt Cheap!) <--------- YES! IF THERE IS A DIRT CHEAP NEAR YOU THEY OCCASIONALLY HAVE CRICUT CARTRIDGES AND CRICUT MACHINES!!!!
The best place I have found so far is cricutmachine.com.. They have cartridges some $19.95 and below! And if you use the facebook10 discount code you get 10% off! Great deal! I posted this on my facebook group page called Louisiana Scrapbookers. If you haven't checked that out and live in or near La you should join! Customcrops.com has good deals too but not as good as cricutmachine.com... They do however, have a much larger inventory on ALL things scrapbooking so they are worth checking out anyways!
If I find any other place that has great deals I will update! And if YOU know of any great deals, share the wealth!
Thanks!

West Ridge Middle School First Annual Arts and Crafts Festival

I'm excited to be a involved in West Ridge Middle School's First Annual Arts and Crafts Festival as a vendor next month to help raise money for their art department. My professor/advisor notified me about this upcoming event and right away I was interested. My friend Chesney will be sharing a booth with me. Chesney makes one of a kind jewelry out of old, broken jewelry and other embellishments. She is amazing!!! Her work is so unique!
I've been busy getting my inventory built up for this event and am super excited about what I'll be showcasing... Stationery sets, journals and ceramic coasters. So far I've just been working on the stationery sets. They are so adorable. I've been making shaped cards with my Gypsy! Butterflies, owls, fluer de lis, flowers.. All sorts of fun shapes for Spring! They are precious!
Soon I'll post pics and more info on the event!
In the mean time I'll be designing my new business cards and product stickers! Can't wait to hand them out!

Speaking of business cards, that's the main reason I've created this blog aside from my personal blog... So that I could have a blog dedicated to my art only that could be included on my business cards for customers to see!
So many other events coming up this spring! Can't wait to jump right into them all and see what doors God has planned to open!
