Playing with Paper #2

I LOVE to play with paper and I especially LOVE to play on days like today.

It's rainy & cold out and I am snuggled up indoors in front of the fire - cutting and

pasting and making pretty things...

Here is my second project - along the lines of the first project

yes a banner..sorry but I am feeling those right now.

Here is what I started with and I used my CRICUT

 (I know - it has been used more in the last few weeks than ever before)

these pieces are actually cut using my XL sizzix pennant die all these pieces are part of the die...

cool right & easy!

I then used my cricut and cut out these letters from my new

cherry limeade cartridge and I even went so far as to cut it's silhouette...

watch out - I am on a roll.

the pennants come with holes in the corners so it was all easy to string.

My banner reads SWEET VALENTINE

here is an UP CLOSE shot the letter mats are in black so it gives just the slightest

definition - I guess when you take the time to do something right it always looks alot better

then if you only did a little ---

I can't wait to share my easy and quick mantel re-do tomorrow...

dollar items and my fun banner - can't get cheaper and cuter...

I am linking this up to the following parties this week:
