Christmas Banner

Hello, everyone.  Today I would like to share my Christmas banner.  I've never made one of these before but I'm challenging myself to create different projects for the "12 Days of Christmas" challenges going on at Mark's Finest Papers - here is MFP's tutorial on creating a banner.  My banner has lots of critters and snowmen so I think kids will love it - what do you think? 

I'll show a close-up of each section of the banner so you can see the images I used.  On the first section, this cute little snowman below is from Doodle Pantry - it's a freebie that's still available, so go check it out!  I added Stickles to the snow.  The sentiment is a clear stamp from Studio G.  For all the sections of the banner, I embossed the strip of cardstock with Snowflakes embossing folder from Cuttlebug.   For all sections of my banner, I followed the sketch at Your Next Stamp (see bottom).  The snowflakes and bling are all from Dollarama.

 

This sweet little kitty below is from Doodle Dragon Studios and I won it in a challenge.  I added gems to the holly berries.  The sentiment is a Studio G clear stamp.

 

This adorable little snowman below is a freebie from Creatalicious.  I added red Stickles to his heart.  The sentiment is a clear stamp that came with a recent issue of "Cardmaking and Papercraft" magazine. 

These sweet little mice below are a freebie from Free Dearie Dolls.  I added some gems to the holly berries.  The sentiment is a clear stamp from Studio G.

Look at this cute little penquin below - isn't he adorable!  I got him as a freebie from Cre8ive Hands.  The sentiment is a wood-mount stamp from Hampton Art for Studio G.
