Happy Day two of the Twelve Days of Christmas my friends!! One of my goals this Christmas is to make a Christmas Banner for both of my girls and when I saw the MIM Challenge at Papertrey Ink, I was totally inspired!! I love Danielle Flander's style so much and you can just imagine how excited I was to case her style!!! Whoo hooo!! I had a ball!!
Here's a close-up of the whimsical style:
I used several different Papertrey Ink sets for this fun little Banner. I started with the Banner Dies and cut two sizes of banners - one in red and one in Stamper's Select White cardstock.
I was wishing I hadn't sold my Tremendous Treats set to embellish this banner, but I made do with what I had. So I grabbed the cute PTI Penguin, The 2010 Holiday Tags Reindeer, and the cute little snowman from Friendship Jar Holiday Fillers. Such an eclectic mix of goodies, but this year is all about using my scraps and I am enjoying the challenge!!

I used several different Papertrey Ink sets for this fun little Banner. I started with the Banner Dies and cut two sizes of banners - one in red and one in Stamper's Select White cardstock.
Then I die cut a Rustic Wreath out of Stamper's Select White and stamped it in Simply Chartreuse Ink and colored it in with Copic Markers. Notice I wasn't too worried about staying in the lines to keep in with the Modern Whimsey feel. I die cut several Confetti Borders out and some I stamped and the heart border I die cut in PTI red patterned paper. I die cut a pink snowflake and a vellum snowflake using the Fancy Flakes dies. Way fun!! Then I cut out the Christmas One Liners which I totally love!! So fun and fancy!!

Kristii, I absolutely love your banner. I'm sure your daughters do too! Noticed you posted it in a couple of challenges. Because of the wreaths you used it would also fit Festive Friday's challenge.:

Actually there's a bunch of choices your sweet banner fits. This is a winner for sure!
What an awesome project for your girls! Love the theme and colors you chose to make your banners. Everything you works just beautifully together. I too have sold sets and kicked myself afterward...but your Penguin, Reindeer and Snowman are great stand-ins!! Wonderful take on the week's MIM challenge Kristii!
