More Wedding Purple

So, to go along with the card box...I decided to make a wall banner to match. I decided that maybe we needed to "explain the box"! I challenged myself to using supplies that I already had! I pulled some printable fabric, used the ribbon that I used on the box and garters, made a couple more flowers.....and my printer! Oh my, side bar here....I love my printer!

Anyhow, I didn't get a very good pic of the banner as I don't have any bare wall to hang it on....you get the idea though!

Close up of the lettering and flower, I covered the attachments with the flowers....

Baby flowers used on the three center letters...

I tied the ends of the ribbon (3 for layering) and attached the letters to it...

I like how the banner turned out! Was going to make a "Mr. & Mrs." but I don't have enough printable fabric. Will ask the Bride if she wants me to do so....we'll see....

From Aliens to Spring...Hope SPRINGS Eternal!

So, I am ready for Spring....I want to go for long walks, for bike rides....I want to go to the river for relaxation and fun! I want to go walking through the Botanical Gardens and look for Aliens! Aliens....not the big eyed, green, fly in the sky kind! Wanna see...they look like Aliens to me:

Spooky but Beautiful!

Another Alien!

Looks like it's Ready to Attack!

Another Beautiful Alien! 

I so badly, want to see Aliens right now! I know Spring is coming...it'll be here soon, but not soon enough! We are having wonderfully, warmer temperatures....in the 20's! Beautiful March Day in Alaska! Right now, you won't see beautiful flowers....at least not outside:

Okay, so I've shown you the Aliens and now, you see the beautiful flowers of the Botanical Gardens in Fairbanks....I took these photos last Summer and I'm ready to go out again! Charge up the camera battery, dig out the hiking shoes! Hope SPRINGS eternal!
