Hello everyone and welcome to the Whimsical Wednesday Blog Hop! If you are coming from Joni's than you're in the right place. If not and you just stopped by please start at the beginning at Whimsical Wednesdays! so you don't miss a thing! For this hop we all made banners/wall decor that will be sent to a nursing home. The link to read more about it is posted on the Whimsical Wednesday Blog.
For my banner/wall decoration, I did this cute sun! I figured this would be something that would make just about anyone smile when they saw it. I cut the sun from Smiley Cards at 11 inches. The smaller sun's were cut at 2 inches and the font was cut from Birthday Bash at 1.5 inches. I assembled the banner by cutting different lenghts of ribbon and staggering them by punching a hole in the big sun and smaller ones and then tying a knot in each side. I did add some scotch tape to the backs of the smaller sun's just to reinforce them.
These are our generous sponsors for our blog hop and what they are giving away for prizes
