Happy Valentine's Day, Rock Princess Style!

It's time again for Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesday Challenge!  This week we're to use the Rock Princess cartridge, yay!  I love this cartridge but find I don't use it unless I'm creating something for my niece {she's 11}.  

The cartridge seems to scream "TWEEN!" to me, LOL!  It only seemed fitting to create a Valentine for her for this challenge.  :)  {In July of last year I created a banner for her birthday with it as well, check it out HERE}. 

She's a COMPLETE Lime Green NUT {and not so much into the pink} so I kept that in mind while making this.  It's also my first easel card, WOO-HOO!  Love them :)

The heart is on an Action Wobble, which you can now purchase from Scrappy Mom's!  YAY!

Banner...Grrrrrr!!!

Hello!  So I am FINALLY able to post some of what I've been working on, HOORAY!  I didn't want to post them too early because they were gifts but the party is done so here we go....

I've been on a banner-spree as of late because, well I love them. :)  My niece and nephew (two different sisters) share a birthday so I whipped a couple of these bad boys out for their birthday parties.  

Click on any of the pictures for a closer look!

Taylor is a lime-green fanatic so I knew she would LOVE this :)  ( I left the tulle quite long on both sides to make sure she was able to hang it in her room.  It can be trimmed accordingly!)

 I fanci-fied the letters because she's 11 and what 11 year old doesn't love some bling-age?  Each letter in her name received 3 little crystals, courtesy of my new i-rock!

 My original idea was the put turtles of some sort on each end panel but the lime-green leopard paper was too busy and too much green.  The stars worked well!

 I used glitter paper for the stars because, of course stars twinkle, no?!

The stars and all the letters were given dimension too.  They all popped up nicely!
