A Peachy Little Banner Inspiration!

Hello, and Happy Birthday to me, hehehe!  I wanted to share this fun banner I made with my 3 year old yesterday thanks to some Peachy Keen Inspiration... they had a picture there to use for inspiration and while I got the papers, glued, and put it all together Aiden helped pick out what was to go on the banner, cut them out (he loves pushing buttons on my Cricut! ), and stamp those cute little peachy faces on his characters...  Here's what we made...

And here was our inspiration:

We took the hot pink and blue for the letters of our banner, the circle plates are seen in our circle doilies, and I added flowers to the banner thanks to this beautiful picture!


Materials Used:
Peachy Keen Stamps - Critter Faces
Memories Dye Ink in Black
Sharpies
Create A Critter, B is for Boy, Hannah Montana, George and Basic Shapes, and Winter Woodland Cartridges
Doilies
Yarn

Thanks so much for stopping by and stop by Peachy Keen for more inspiration and cute faces!
I am also entering this into the Decorate to Celebrate Challenge #17, so swing by there as well!
Hope you all have a fabulous day, I know I will!
