Christmas Banner

Here's a fun Christmas banner project I recently made:


I really loved Debbie Naylor's idea, so I made a couple of them!  They came together quick & easy with the Big Shot die cutting machine and the Scallop Circles #2 and Scallop Square Bigz dies.  Here are some close-ups of the squares:






I used the products from the Holiday Mini Catalog: Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper, Christmas Lodge stamp set and Dazzling Details.  Make sure you order them before the Mini ends!
