Welcome to the Banner Blog Hop!! You probably came here from Melissa's beautiful blog. If not, you should start back at Alex's blog, and feast your eyes on all 21 of the beautiful banners we have prepared for you today. I am so excited to have you here, and to show you my holiday banner/
My son goes to French Immersion, and was so excited that he could read the banner I created!
Isn't this donkey just adorable! I cut him at 2.8 inches on my Gypsy. He is from Winter Frolic.
The navy stars are from Gypsy Wandering. I cut them each at 6 inches. The ornament is from Winter Frolic cut at 2 inches.
The font I used was Once Upon a Princess. I think it is a gorgeous and simple font. The little candy cane, cut at 2 inches, is from Christmas Cheer.
I adore the Nativity cuts on this cartridge, they are so cute and are loved by my children. I cut the Blessed Mother and Baby Jesus at 2.8 inches.
The snowflakes on the banner are all from Christmas Cheer cartridge. I used some Marthat Stewart glitter on all the letters, to give it some bling. I managed to get the glitter absolutely everywhere!
The little ornament, from Winter Frolic is cut at 2 inches. I have decided that Winter Frolic is my favorite new cartridge. The cuts are all so sweet.
The shepard is cut at 2.8 inches and the adorable sheep are cut at 2.3 inches. They were not originally meant to go on the same star, but in the end, I thought they looked cute together.
I was so happy with how my banner turned out. I think it is so cute, and reflects the true meaning of Christmas, which is so important for me to teach my children.
Now, onto my Blog Candy. I am giving away this lovely stamp set from Close to my Heart. I thought it was a perfect give away for my Christmas Banner. It is really easy to win this blog candy:
