Thankful Banner

Hi.  I have created a really quick banner for you to see.  It will go up at my mom's house tomorrow for Thanksgiving.  Hope you like it.  It didn't take me long to make it.  Used the Banner Blitz file from Scraptastical Kreations.  Have you checked out their patterns?  Very cute!  I also used the Rosette die from Tim Holtz in my Sizzix Big Shot!  I kept it very simple.  I didn't think it needed anything else. 


Here's a close-up of the banner.  Also used the Mickey Font cartridge with my Cricut for the letters.

This Week

Hello friends!  I have a couple of things to show you this week.  I made a layout of someone that I am thankful for on Friday.  It's of my hubby!  Without him, I don't know where I would be. I used files from Scraptastical Designs for these projects.


 I am also sharing a flower jar that I altered on Saturday. I made a scallop tag for the front with a bear on it.  Decorated the top with a large flower resembling a poinsettia.  This was fun to do!

Alter Challenge

This week our challenge at Scraptastical Kreations was to alter an item laying around the house. I found a plate charger I wanted to play with. It was gold so the first thing I did was spray painted it black. Once that dried, the rest took me all of 30 minutes to create!  It was so simple.  I used the December bear and the title from the Calender Cuties file ( http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/item_76/Calendar-Cuties.htm ). I also used the Christmas tree from the Dear Santa file ( http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/item_129/Dear-Santa.htm ). This was so much fun!  I think I'm making a snow man scene next.
