Cut file for NOEL Banner that I posted about on 12/2/2011 & CONTEST with BLOG CANDY!!!

Hi All!

I am REALLY trying to figure out new things that I can do on my Blog...Like, for example, I am going through all my saved cut files that I stored on my Gypsy and my CCR, and I saw the Cut file that I made for my NOEL wall hanging. I am thinking, "gosh, that would be nice to share"...but HOW TO SHARE is the question...So, lets see if I put up a link for my NOEL Banner what you all think of it! If you open it, and there is a problem, please let me know!

Now, the other thing I wanted to learn how to do on my blog, was how to host a contest that will actually WORK...lol! I haven't been having much luck so far, lol! Then, I had the brilliant idea to look at a MR LINKY account. And I sure did!

After all that is said, how about a fun CONTEST????

I will keep the contest open for 1 week, and I want to see what you create with my NOEL cut file. I took the color out of the ornaments, so all you have to do is put your own colors in, and I want to see how YOU put together your banner. I'm thinking some blog candy is in order, don't you????  How about 2 holiday stamps and some creative memories border paper???

Here's what you have to do to enter:
1. Be a follower
2. Upload your picture to Mr. Linky
3. Refer my page to a friend, and ask them to stop by my blog!
4. HAVE FUN!

Hope to find you all craftin and stampin!

Another Wall/Door Hanging-NOEL

Hello my dear friends!

Since yesterdays post was the one highlighted in the Chirp, I thought I would do another wall/door hanging:

For this decoration, I used the following:

-Cricut Font and Basic Shapes
-Cricut Winter Woodland
-Cricut George and Basic Shapes
-Ribbon of your Choice
-Cricut Imagine
-Cricut Mr. Frosty
-Adhesive
-Hot Glue Gun

I used my George cartridge and flood filled the 4 scalloped squares (which were cut at 4) with Mr. Frosty patterned paper. I then used the red that came with the colors on Mr. Frosty and flood filled 4 squares that were all cut at 3. I cut out the word NOEL from Font and Basic Shapes, which I cut the letters out at 2.5 I moved onto the Winter Woodland Cartridge and cut out 4 ornaments (3 inches) and their layers. I adhered them all together and pieced together my squares. After that, I used my glue gun to glue the ribbon into place!

Easy peazy!!!

These make excellent decorations, as well as gifts for family members!!!
