Happy Birthday Cake Banner

I got this idea from a great blog called Embellishing Life. Such a cute way to top a cake!

Valentine Banners & My Very First Giveaway!

I have been rather excited about Valentine's Decorating this year. Pink has certainly grown on me since I had a baby girl!

Here's my kitchen:

I just finished this banner. Spelling out all of "Happy Valentine's Day" seemed daunting, so I just went for "X" and "O":

This plate was so simple with the Silhouette! I just bought a plate from the Dollar Tree and cut the vinyl for the middle. Took less than 5 minutes:

I used the flowers to decorate for Thanksgiving, but I thought they complemented the existing colors of my kitchen, so they stayed. Here's a Mod-Podged X & O I made last year at a craft night:



I made a second banner too. This one is for my mother-in-law's classroom:

And now, (drumroll, please!) for my first giveaway!

Right in time for Valentine's Day, I have this uber-pink wood picture frame!

You can easily clip in a new picture of you and your sweetie (or your kids, or your dog) each year!

To enter:

Just be (or become) a follower! Then leave me a comment saying that you are.

Easy!

I'll pick the winner on Saturday around 5:00 pm, central time. Then I will email you so that you know you won!

I'll be linking up to these great parties!
