The week has been filled with packing extra kits of my I Scream page for Memory Square and running around with the girls @ exams. I thank God exams are almost over but then "sniff sniff" Shannon, my eldest is leaving on Europe Tour with her school (where are the days going to Cape Town on school tour was huge) - oh I forgot, those where the days when I was her age....

Bunting {Banner across left

Tip: I find it easier to secure the two back
ground pattern papers together on the back before trying to place the “bunting”
and then cut it afterwards.
1.
Punch out all the long banners and all the triangle
flags as well as the ticket “good time admit one”, “100 % sweet” and the “Clock
– matted on black cardstock”
2.
Layer the banners & triangle flags in a
semi-circle along the top of the background paper, 1 have 2 of the large banner
on the left hand side & 3 on the right hand side. I placed them so the top end just touch each
other and then I stuck the triangle flags over the join so the triangle flag is
in between.
3.
I stapled the “good time” ticket to the top of the
2nd long banner.
4.
Now using “glossy accents” along the top edge of
the entire banner stick the ribbon along the top so it looks like the bunting
is hanging off the ribbon.
5.
Stick the “100 % sweet” die-cut to the 4th
long banner toward the bottom…stick it flat
6.
Stick the “matted clock” die-cut to the 1st
long banner towards the banner and use a flat back pearl to the centre of the
clock.
7.
Now cut the following pieces to create the photo
mats of the 2 photos that are 2” square.
2 x Cream – 2 ¾” square – sand edges
2 x Black cardstock – 2 ½” square
2 x Trellis – 2 ¼” square
2 x Photo – 2” square – sand edges
Stick the pieces one on top of the other then raise on foam
squares. The one gets stuck on the 3rd
long banner towards the bottom & the second one gets stuck on the 5th
long banner mid way also raised on foam squares.
Heading:-
1.
Cut the heading on the cricut or similar the
alphabet used is “Blackletter” – the word “OUR” is cut @ 1” and the word
“Family” is cut @ 1 ½”.
