Party banners!

Hi there and welcome back! 
I'm so happy today to show you my last project : my first party banners!! :)



Really I'm super excited because this project takes me sooo much time and finally I can show you my hard work!! :)
First I have to say.. I'm still in love with these penguins: there's no escape!!! Maybe if you are new to my blog you'll not understand but if you scroll down the page or visit my flickr account you will find penguins everywhere!! Ahah!! 
Here's another picture..

I think that party banners immediately make everything more festive and funny! I wanna try to make a classic and elegant one, perfect for lots of occasions and it's so easy to do! 
Despite everything I think it's also so quick to make if you keep it simple! It took me a very long time because I wanted my background to be special and original so I stamped each flower or leaf one by one!! :) 
For my banners I was also inspired by the colours combination you have to choose to enter the MakeTheDaySpecial challenge!  
Challenges: 

This was the girly one ...and here's the male version!

And this larger banner it's my fave!!This "Birthday" script it's so elegant!! Unfortunately when I made my order the coordinate "Happy" was over.. but I think that this "happy" ( that I stamped with some selective inking technique from my sentiment "Happy Anniversary") really fits perfectly!! :)

Then I had fun mixing my two versions and I created a veeery looong banner!! :)

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge it's still " B " ... like " banners "..." birthday ".. yay!! I can enter!! ahah! :) 

And I found a new challenge at Cupcake Inspiration! It's their 300th celebration challenge and I chose the "Confetti" theme because all my little flowers in the background remind me to all that beautiful and colorfull confetti that are usually on some delicious sweets!! :)

Challenges: 

Cupcake Inspiration 300th Challenge 

  

Supplies:
"Stitched Party Banners" dies by Lawn Fawn

This really makes me ..giggle!

Hi there and welcome back!

This tag really makes me giggle sooo much!
I often buy some little gift.. perfumed soaps, special bubble bath.. I love making small bags with many variations in small size because it's super cute and really fits to everyone!! :)

But I always don't know which tag should I add to my little gifts..a flower theme it's always appreciated...but..if I want my tag to be super funny and witty?!

ahahah!!! here they are!! The cutest whales ever with their shower caps!! ahah! I really can't stop laughing!!
Do these make you giggle too?! :)
The Lawnscaping Challenge theme is dots and stripes.. and when I though about colors, geometries.. I immediately remembered those super funny - and a little 'embarrassing too -shower caps  that were so fashionable long time ago !! 
The SSSmondaychallenge theme is "B"... "B" for... bath!! ihih! :)

Really I can not stay serious with this!! ahah!! :)

Domestic Bliss!

Hi there and welcome back! 

Today I wanna share a super cute and funny card too! 

I looove my new stamps and dies by Paper Smooches! This stamp set " Squeaky Clean" is so funny and it is perfect or my granny's birthday!

She always takes care of my grandpa, of their home and teach me how to do too! So when I saw this set I said to my mom..: "we gotta have it"!!!

My mom and I are thinking to hide her gift in a box full of cleaning products to make everything more funny... on the other hand she is the queen of domestic bliss! :)

We are going to host a little birthday party and I think we'll spend a funny day with our family! :)
