Favorite Things Party Banner

Have you ever heard of it?  Well, I never did until my cousin Lindsay was posting all of these cute things on Pinterest.  I had to check it out and I asked her what it was all about. Here's how it works:

Invite your friends over for a get together.

Have them bring 3 of the same item (brand new)...something that is their favorite thing.  A lipgloss, kitchen utensil, home item, accessory...anything. 

Set a dollar limit for this item. I chose to ask everyone to spend no more than $10 per item.  REMEMBER...they are each bringing THREE of the SAME item.

Once they arrive they will write their name on 3 slips of paper and drop them in the jar.

When everyone is here and all names are collected, everyone will draw 3 names (not their own of course!)

Each person will stand up, describe their favorite thing, and then give their favorite thing to those people they drew from the jar.

Sounds like fun, right?! I HAD to make a banner for this fun girls night.  It's all about the details!!!

My party is this Friday. I will let you know how it goes.  I'm sure it will be lots of fun since it's with some pretty cool ladies!!

Every time I see this banner I burst into song....."These are a few of my Favorite Things!!"  You know, Sound of Music?!?!  It's a classic!!

Here are some close up shots.  I'm not fond of the coloring in these photos....sorry about that!!

I found inspiration for this project on a fabulous challenge blog...

NOW....

Party On!

It's a party over at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  Hop on over and share your ideas!! I wanted to make something that would add something nice to the table decor.  I think this would be fun at a summertime ladies luncheon or perhaps a tweens Birthday party?!

By the way, yes....I did fish out all the yellow Skittles out of the bag for this project.  :)

Here is a closeup of the rosette.  I scored a 12" by 1 1/2" piece of cardstock every 1/4".  I think it's a nice size, not overpowering or too top heavy.

The greeting is from the set called Perfect Pair. Cute saying, huh?!

I also made a larger one to pair with it, but I felt like this would be better suited as a centerpiece.

Check out the detail and all the layering with the punches, paper piercing, banners and tails, etc.  FUN!!

Here is the challenge photo....now get over there and get crafty!!  I always LOVE to see new ideas for party favors!!  Mostly because I like to get them!  :)  Hee hee! 

Happy Stamping,
