Banners, Banners everywhere

My Mom's very talented Cousin Kristin (see her blog here) had a contest on her blog. And my mom won the contest and the prize was a homemade banner of our choice! She makes Beautiful banners! (If you go to her blog she has a very cute Valentines day banner)We decided on a birthday banner (one that could be used for a girl or a boy) and she was so great she made us a boy and a girl one! She sent us tons of ribbon and we got to assemble it. We even bought some more ribbon to add on to the banner. So Here it is! (You have to comment and tell us how cute the banner is!) BTW- Be prepared for a ton of pictures! Thank you Kristen!
The More Boyish banner

I love the colors she choose!

I really like this pic!

More Girlish Banner

She sent us the little flowers too so I glue dotted them on
