Here's what I created for the birthday festivities:
Can I tell you that having a time limit makes me craft at a snail's pace? I feel like I'm doing everything in slow motion and it feels like I also have ginormous man hands...LOL.
How do I prep for quick crafting? I go for the 'collection' card. I pulled out all of my October Afternoon Cakewalk. I also ended up using a Happy Birthday sticker by SRM.
Easy Smeasy:
I have serious time to spare!
I could have probably stitched the top of the banner...oh well, I wasn't going to chance going over the time!
