JOY Banner

I just put my JOY banner together and really like the way it turned out.  My letter for this swap on PAO (paperartistsonline.com) was the O.  Julie S did the J and Rachelle E completed the banner doing the Y.  I love how all three of us used different sized letter and the backgrounds blend well.  For my O I used my Cricut cartridge Ashlyn's Alphabet which happens to be my all time favorite.  I used Stampin' Up! designer papers Deck the Halls. I also used the new color Cherry Cobbler for that border.   The border was punched with Martha Stewart punch and the flowers punched with Stampin' Up! punch then sprayed with Shimmer that I put in a mister with alcohol.  

CHRISTMAS DECORATION

I got directions for a wonderful Snowflake ornament off of this blog. I made several of them last year and have started making them for this year. I have also made something a little different with it. Please let me know if you like it. Please click on photo to get a better view. The designer paper is the retired Stampin' Up! Wintergreen. I've also used Crystal Effects, Dazzling Diamonds and Pearls from the Pretties Kit.

Here is a little name book that I have been working on. I hope to have enough time to make several of these for the holiday as gifts.
