Time to CELEBRATE!

Do you ever just browse the internet looking for something and then get lost?
You start by clicking on a link - which leads you to new links...and other links...and other links...
Well - I did that recently and somehow came across pom pom making tutorials {I have NO idea what I started out looking for}.

I decided it might be fun to put some pom poms on a card:

The pom poms add a fun touch to a celebration card. {Wouldn't it make a great card for congratulating someone who just made the cheer squad?}
I could also see the pom poms easily translating into fireworks for a 4th of July card or layout.

There are all sorts of ideas out there for making pom poms. I just wrapped twine around a couple of my fingers about 50 times, tied a string around the middle and cut the loops. I like the look on the card when you squish the pom poms flat, but you could use them fluffed up for some serious dimension.

Of course you'll find a bunch of beautiful twine colors at The Twinery. Go ahead and fill up that shopping cart!
