MLK weekend

I spent Friday doing nothing.  I had pain in my left hand, probably arthritis.  Saturday afternoon I worked on a project for a friend's daughter.  Hope she likes it.  She wants zebra prints in her room and she likes pink.  I tried adding more layers, but it just took too much from the zebra stripes.  The zebra stripes were freehand painted on white card stock.  The banner was and letters were cut on my cricut from Country Life.  I used stickles on the letters and then added glossy accents for shine.  I'm not a good photographer.  It looks better in person.  My first banner.

Today, I was inspired by Jessica from KinderStampO's birthday blog.  One post was using a giggle stamp, which I don't own.  I searched webster's online dictionary for the definition of smile.  I printed it on my computer and cut it out.  Here's what I came up with:

In another post, Jessica made a 3 x 3 card with a smiley.  It inspired me to get out the Peachy Keen stamps and practice lots of smiles.  Here's the finished project with the smile definition and lots of Peachy Keen faces.  I cut the circles on the cricut with George and Basic Shapes, all from scraps in my drawer.  I think there are 60 faces, from 3/4" to 1 1/2".  This is to decorate my door at work for the remainder of January.  I hope it makes people smile!
   

Hope everybody has had a fun weekend.  Back to work tomorrow!
