What?! Where did Christmas go? Well, that was fast! Time to welcome in 2012 with a PARTY…well, at least a party banner. 😉 I used this great banner file from Silhouette and just typed PARTY into the software so I could add that lettering. To make your banner simple to assemble, I say stick with…
Be sure to see the Give Away at the end of this post! Thanks for being patient while I was having computer problems. 🙂 Here is Day 5 of the 2 Million Hits Give Away! I bought these little coffees and thought they needed some dressing up before being given away. I’m using a file…
