Now we are looking at Thanksgiving ...

I am very thankful for all of my family, good health and friends ... with those I can conquer the wold ...

some of the glitter letters don't show up to well but it says "Thankful"

Patrotic Banners

made some banners for our kid's houses ... mine will be next .... ;-) in case you can't make out the letters they spell "Freedom" ... our most precious commodity ...

Got it done ............

When our granddaughter was born I got a super banner kit from a friend - just the pieces - I had to put it together but that was what I wanted to do ..... well she is turning 2 next month and I just now got it done .... can you see what I mean about LIFE getting in the way of some of the things you really want to do ...... click to enlarge

Flag/Pennant Banner

This was a 5 day challenge from an online group I am in ... we did a step each day so that at the end of 5 days we each had our completed banners .... I used a new Tim Holtz edge die cut on the top and 2 of his new "Spring Sprung" stamps (the bunny and the twigs/leaves) and his Elegant Flourish die for the gold flourish .... the paper flowers are out of scrap paper and tulle on the end flowers, the center one is just paper (you cut/punch out scalloped circles. at least 5, then you punch hole in the center add a brad and scrunch up each of the circles in to balls then unscrunch them one at a time) a friend taught me this ... I kind of cheated and only use 6 or our 9 flags we made because I wanted mine to be for Easter ...... it was fun and now I have another Easter decoration thanks "E" ...... click to enlarge
