There are still lots of items available, so please contact me about my retirement party on Sunday if you'd like to check out the catalogue or place an order.

So, on to today's project.   I volunteer at an occupational therapy unit, and we needed a welcome banner for our opening event, so this is what I came up with.  The idea came from the marvellous Jennifer McGuire here.  There's a fantastic video tutorial on her blog.

The banner was very quick and easy to do.  I used 12" x 1" and 10" x 1" strips of designer series paper, from the brights stack.  I joined them with staples and embellished with striped grosgrain ribbon and basic rhinestones.  I cut the lettering on my Slice, using whisper white cardstock, edged with my black StampinUup marker.  The span of the garland is about 4 feet.  I think it looks really effective!

Back tomorrow with some wedding favours!
