Whimsical Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to the Whimsical Wednesday blog hop. You should have arrived here from Karen's blog. If you just happened to drop by to say hi please go to the Whimsical Wednesday blog to start at the beginning of the hop. For this hop we all made banners/wall decor that will be sent to a nursing home. You can ready more about that HERE.

Here is my banner. I had so much fun making it. ALL of the cuts are from the Kate's ABC cartridge, butterflies, letters, and background shape.


Sorry that the photo gets dark toward the bottom of the banner. I have a couple of close up photos so you can see some of the details better.


The butterflies have darling Peachy Keen faces from the Critter Faces stamp sets and the beautiful Love and Hope stamps from a stamp set called Race for a Cure by Emma at My Creative Time. And Below is one more close up of the bottom butterfly. The wings are spritzed with a glimmer mist.
 
These our the generous sponsors for our blog hop and what they are giving away for prizes.

Patsy from the Prairie Bird Boutique (click on here name for a link to her store). She will be giving one winner their choice of one bundle of Shabby Crinkle Ribbon.

Babbette from The Kraft Outlet (click on her name for a link to her store). The Kraft Outlet has generously donated their “Inspiration Play Pack”; This is a collection of The Kraft Outlet's top selling items valued at over $45.
