Happy Tuesday ! Last Friday was the youngest grandsons first birthday, so I made a banner for him with my cricut. I used 5 x 7 photos, one from each month to do the banner. I got the scalloped squares from the storybook cartridge and this is the football svg .. I added his name on the bottom and how many moths each photo was.
I was going to use big tulle blue bows on the ends but it looked too girly. I ended up just making long chains with yarn and my crochet hook , and making pom poms in blue , red, and brown.
I stapled ribbon to the tops for hanging and added a red check bow to the top of each one.
They hung it across their sliding glass doors ( it was hard to get a good photo ) but they are having a big birthday party in a couple weeks so hopefully I can get some better pictures then.
The birthday boy :)
He loved his new Little Tikes car ..
On Easter we stripped off his clothes to color Easter eggs.. He had a great time doing it !
I made a cream puff cake for dessert on Easter.. I just made the normal cream puff dough, baked it , then after it cooled made the cream puff filling ,cooled it and put it on top of the dough. Then whipped up some heavy cream with a little sugar. It is so good! Next time I think I will add some sliced strawberries to the top.
It was actually nice enough on Easter , 57 degrees ,that we went for a walk , Daughter in law, daughter, #2 sons girlfriend , oldest son... 2 grandsons and all the dogs ..It is back to being cold again , even a few snow flurries !

I saw the banner on IG. I am glad you put them here too, so I could see them better. Love it! So clever!!!
ReplyDeleteHope the flurries fly away fast. Yesterday was cool and windy here, but today is sunny and nice. I have clothes on the line, and have a lunch date planned with a good friend.
Hugs,

This banner is so cute and so creative, Priscilla. Happy Birthday to that cute baby boy. Your cream puff cake sounds wonderful. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a baby's first birthday, Priscilla--they sure do change a lot in those first 12 months! Bretton is adorable--especially love him in the pumpkin :)
ReplyDeleteYour Easter weather sounds much nicer than ours--glad you go the whole gang out for a walk... You probably all needed the exercise after that yummy looking cake!
What a fun project! Happy Birthday to the little cutie!
ReplyDeleteFun stuff! Your cake looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe banner is a wonderful idea!! And what cute little boy!
ReplyDeleteThis banner is genious! What a great idea - this could also be used in many ways - anniversaries, for example. Thank you for sharing your banner. Very inspiring! Catherine

ReplyDeletePriscilla, the banner is so cute and oh my gosh the baby (I mean big boy) himself is a doll! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
