Western/Cowboy Themed Baby Shower Banner

 I really enjoyed making this banner.  It was a custom order for a baby shower.  I was told that the expected baby boy's nursery was decorated western themed all the way down to having wagon wheels put on his crib!  What a fun idea!

 I panicked at first because I could not find brown cow print paper anywhere.

The buyer was specific about the brown cow print...  

Then I realized I could just PAINT the pattern. Duh. 

I used twine and barbed wire printed ribbon to add more to the look as well as red bandana scrapbook paper.

I love how it turned out.

I even found this adorable boot and star clip art already installed on my Cricut. Perfect.

I love making banners for all occasions!

Altered Journals and Mini Journals

These altered composition books can be used for anything. These particular journals were made to be prayer journals.  I usually get information such as favorite colors, styles, quotes, Scripture, hobbies, collections, etc. and then I go from there to try to make a special notebook for a special person.

 You can see more journals on our facebook page.

 We also carry MINI altered composition books in our Altered to Perfection store.  

 These mini-journals were made to be given to some special members of a book club.  The buyer wanted something that her friends could use to keep track of what they read. 

 You can also check out our shop by going directly to Etsy here.

 These little books measure 4.5" x 3.25" and are covered on the front and back.
