Hayden's Pluto banner!

So we are part of a great play group made up of six mommies and their babies. This of course is how we met! We meet once a week and have been doing so for about eight months now. Crazy to think it's been that long already!!! Our babies are growing up SO fast! Here is a "vintage" photo at this point of the whole gang! ** Mental note, time to take a new one!**

Anyway, as we started putting together Natalie's 1st birthday party, we realized we LOVED making decorations so we then promised the play group mommies a birthday banner for all of our "bonus babies'" 1st birthdays. :) Hayden, our second to youngest in the group loves Pluto so we made him this adorable banner!

We were excited to try a new kind of banner with the free hanging double letters. The original plan was to shadow the whole letter, making it more centered, but we weren't able to make it work the way that we wanted it to look. So....... we ended up cutting doubles and and offsetting the letters to create a shadowed look. Hayden isn't a "in the box" kind of little man, so this "problem" ended up resolving its self in a PERFECT kind of way. We are very pleased with the way it turned out! Happy 1st birthday, Mr. Hayden!!

Our Birthday boy! :)
