Celebrations!

We spent last night with dear friends at the Denver Outlaws Lacrosse game ending in fireworks!! (Our families met when our youngest sons' played lacrosse together for years and years.)  It was definitely a celebration!! (The fireworks picture is from last year - my phone couldn't quite capture the awesome show.)


I also wanted to celebrate my friend's decision to leave a job at which she has been unhappy for awhile. It's always a hard decision to venture away from the known into the unknown of a job hunt. She'll be better off in the long run and I wanted her to know I'm celebrating along with her.

I paged through my stamps and came across Paper Smooches Best Buds which seemed like the perfect look for her. I have used the mason jar and flowers from the set a number of times, but hadn't used just the banner.  I cut and colored the banner then got a little stumped until CAS(E) this Sketch inspired me with a banner across a wreath.  I didn't have any kind of a wreath stamp or die that had the same sweet look as the Paper Smooches banner so I did a circle of dots for a more contemporary look.
