chricutcardzchallenges a banner year

happy wednesday :) this week our challenge over at CCC is to make a card with a banner from any cricut cartridge.be sure to check out the samples from the rest of the fun design team.
i decided to go simple and masculine with this one.

i used pretty pennants for the banners . ( thank you diana larson! i won this amazing cart from one of her challenges. be sure to check her blog out and join in her fun too ) the ducks are from give a hoot cartridge.  the sentiment is a stamp from whimsical designs. i added a couple of brads and some ink and thats it. im up in the air..no pun intended..about the ducks but left as is after asking mary and the rest of the dt.

hope ive inspired you to play along with us this week. thanks so much for stopping by my blog. youre sweet comments always make me smile too, thank you for that :) now go get crafty :) and have a great day :) xxxshelly
