Why do I love trends?

I have always been a trend-follower, even if it doesn't always show. 

I'm not the most fashionable person, (although I don't think 

I would EVER be nominated for "What Not to Wear!") 

but I do love clothes and bags and shoes and ofcourse:

TRENDY SCRAPBOOK SUPPLIES!

I am NOT one of those people that goes to scrapbook

garage sales looking for old papers and embellishments, I love

using fresh, new, exciting product, and banners are

no exception!

Why did banners become a trend? Who decided that? I have NO idea

who did, but I like it! This is a Silhouette cut I downloaded the other day.
I have to say that since Silhouette became it's own company last year 

their cuts have improved 10-fold! 

SO many trendy images to choose from. 

I toiled over this card. I wanted a sun for the corner and ransacked my 

entire stash to find I have no suns, so I added the button.. 

Then the bottom was plain..

I couldn't figure out what to do on the bottom,

then I spied some green CS.. 

I don't have those special scissors that cut grass, 

but I just did it by hand:

I think it turned out pretty darn good! Since this was a birthday card I 

added a "make a wish" SRM sentiment along the bottom, 

and it was done. 

Toiling over.
