Banners for Foster Kids Birthday Party's Blog Hop

 

 

Here is some info about the hop for our hostess Jennifer!

 

Hi! Welcome to Foster Kids Birthday Party's Blog Hop! Many of you may be familiar with CardMonkey's awesome banner hops for kids... I was so inspired by them that I wanted to find another opportunity to do good with my crafting. I happened upon a volunteer at Birthday Magic at a work event & followed up with them. They loved the idea of handmade birthday banners, so I put out the call and I was lucky to have 15 awesome crafters join me! So today you will get to see everyone's creations!

If you've never heard of Birthday Magic, you can see their site here -

BirthdayMAGIC is a program of the Volunteer Center of Sacramento, which provides personalized monthly birthday parties to children currently living in Sacramento area homeless shelters, transitional living facilities, community programs or residential treatment centers.

The goal of BirthdayMAGIC is to brighten the lives of children by providing fun, meaningful and memorable birthday parties during what can be an awkward and challenging experience in their lives.

Each month, children living in these shelters will celebrate birthdays – through financial support, volunteer help and the BirthdayMAGIC program, these wonderful children will receive a birthday party thrown in their honor.

For more information on sponsoring a party please contact us at info@volunteersac.org or call (916) 567-3100.

I'm looking forward to dropping off all the amazing banners For them to use in the parties!

SO for my banner I wanted to make an Elmo banner. I have been doing a lot of Sesame Street lately :)  I knew I would need several pages of paper to make my banner, so I decided to use my Imagine to design my own Elmo paper. So I layered some Elmo's and copied them on the page and added yellow balloons to the paper as well and then printed it out. I also printed out two big Elmo's to go on both sides. I wanted to add some shapes and primary colors banner and then stamped on the letters. I used the Jaded Blossom Fancy Topper Die to cut out the banner pieces.
