WOOT-WOOT!!! This is exactly what I was doing as I heard my beautiful daughters voice on the other end of the phone…yesterday she found out that she was "captured" by the Sorority that was her 1st choice! Instantly my heart was filled with joy as I never had the opportunity to be in a Sorority! Her voice and words were non-stop and I knew how excited she was! The best part…her other 2 close friends were also in the frenzy of the excitement!
I knew I had to put my thinking cap on and make the girls something special….well I think I hit it right on! This is the 1st time I have used the Petal Cone Bigz L Die but it was just the perfect choice for something special (especially since it is filled with dark chocolate kisses). The colors were purple and yellow and yesterday I said I was going to use something from the Sale-A-Bration FREE gifts….and yes – the designer paper was from the Sycamore Street Designer Paper!
To get the yellow scalloped piece….SIMPLE = just put a scrap right over the die and I was able to get the Rich Razzleberry and the Daffodil Delight all in one crank through my dear friend Big Shot! Punching holes and threading through the seam binding ribbon was a perfect touch (hands down – my favorite ribbon to work with as I am "bow challenged" and it comes in soooo many colors!!!) I still think it need a little something so I searched for the perfect sentiment – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED….these cute little birds carrying the "hooray" banner is from the Henry Says stamp set!
This looks like it would be hard to do but just the opposite – it came together super fast and it would be a perfect choice to make for party favors! I have had that pom-pom ribbon forever and never knew what to do with it – so glad Hannah's colors were and it is just adorable….just like her! She is our little red caboose and we miss her so but she is so happy at college!!! We are proud of you Hannah!
