    I never make pennants but yours a so nicely done with these two papers. Polka dots and chevrons, who could go wrong with those two. I'm glad to see you put them together. Nice job. Enjoy your weekend.

    Oh, I LOVE your paper choices and you've motivated me to using my cricut more often! (I used to use it a lot on scrapbooks, less on cards.) It's tricky using circuits with patterned papers, but you rocked it! I also love how you decorated the inside; I think I'll go back and do something inside mine before I send them in.

    The card is cute, but that little signpost inside is super cute and it reminds me of when we used to watch MASH and they had that sign with all the places they were from and how many miles away it was (and have seen it other places). Thanks so much for sharing.

    The banner, clouds and signpost are darling! I like how you've decorated the inside of the card to coordinate with the outside. Thanks for sharing this in the OWH blog hop! :)
