Stickers, Banners, and Bumpers

Just in time for the blog hop, I've been able to get back into the scrap room and the ideas are beginning to come back :-)   In advance, I have to apologize for the picture quality.  My regular camera died and the backup is not cooperating with me.  Doesn't help that I am taking the photographs at night.  Oh well - thank you for understanding :-)

So, onto the layout!  I'm on a bit of a banner kick at the moment and when I came across this photo from my archives, I thought it would work great with a bannered title.  The April challenge sketch at My Sketch World provided the layout inspiration worked in great - and boy was that bumper car going!  Ha Ha.

To go with the banner, I have these great alpha stickers from Close to My Heart that I've been waiting to use - they are white with a subtle resist pattern on them that makes them great for stamping.  My using several different inks I was able to get the perfect shade to coordinate with the paper (though you can't tell from the photo).  I really recommend them - so flexible when you want your letters to be a specific color.  You can get them in my shop here.  The banner was made using the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge - this cartridge is awesome with soooooo many shapes, overlays, boxes, tags, even a cute font.  It is only available from Close to My Heart and comes with 3 sets of coordinating stamps AND 3 sets of coordinating chipboard tags.  Check it out here.  The full recipe for this layout is below .

    This is adorable! What a great idea. When I saw the bummer cars with "Learning to drive" I cracked up! Beautifully done!
