I'm persevering with my attempt to give a homemade gift for everyones birthday this year and have only slipped once so far (but I haven't forgotten that project - they will get it eventually!)
My latest effort was for darling Kitty who is now 2.
The colours hopefully match her bedroom - altho that is based from memory - fingers crossed everyone!
The lettering and animals are cut on my cricut using the zooballoo cartridge. I couldn't quite decide what to do to the background of the paper but plumped for stamping in the end - mainly because I wasn't convinced that anyone would recognise the 'Y' as a 'Yak'. ;-)
The stars in each corner were a compromise solution as my stoopid crop-a-dile refuses to set eyelets. I figured they would be less likely to tear over the holes if the sticker was there as a reinforcer and stars were all I had in (very) roughly the right colour.
Kitty's Mum has texted today to say it will go beautifully and she is planning to laminate each pennant so it lasts "forever".
