CTMH--- Welcome Banner

**This is my 500th post.... WOW**


I'm so happy to have a home to display my home decor projects in!

I was inspired by this banner by Lisa Stenz.  I knew as soon as I saw it that I wanted to make one of my own for the entry in our new home!  It took me a while.... a long while, to make this.  Maybe it was because I was sicker than sick when I created it, but it seemed to take forever.

On four of the banner pieces, I used the Spray Pen with Vineyard Berry reinker, create a shade pearl paint & water and sprayed the actual chipboard.  On the other three banner pieces I used some old Silhouette paper.  The paper rosettes were made with two 2" strips of patterned paper, accordian folded and glued together.  I used the Silhouette paper on the red banners and Wings paper for the others.  I used our new 2" scallop circle punch for the red background and the Bohemian Alphabet for the letters. I sponged all the edges in black ink.  I had some black ribbon on hand and evenly spaced out the banner to hang just right in my entry way.  

Sorry that wouldn't  rotate.... 



Doesn't it look FABULOUS!

NOW- when you leave my house.... you see a blank banner.... so I have to work on that side.

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)

CTMH-- September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favori

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2012, featuring Fall Favorites   All artwork on the hop will feature Fall Favorites!  This is a set of 11 stamps and it's really making me want FALL---- NOW!!!  How cute is this set!?  If you have come here from  Susan's Blog y ou are on the right path. For my card today, I used the new Clementine paper pack, which is so versatile!  I cut the tag from Art Philosophy and stamped Fall Favorites in Brown Staz-on ink, then colored the pumpkin and leaves with my new markers.  I found that they don't blend and shade terribly well on Kraft cardstock- but the color showed up.  I added some of my favorite Burlap Ribbon to the card :) Do you think I like pumpkin pie???  Just a little bit ;) The September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favorites is available September 1-30th.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5....
