Fresh Idea Friday

Happy Friday Everyone!!!

It is Lisa A. here to share a fresh idea with you. Do you keep up with trends in the scrapbook world??? I love to read magazines and blogs to get ideas and file them away. So sometimes, I see a trend but it takes me a LONG time before I actually try it. I'm a "one step behind" kind of gal.

Well, not this time! haha! I'm going to be trendy and share it with you!

Banners

Cards with banners are really hot right now and I have REALLY been wanting to make one. Once I got the new Spring 2010 Ippity Paper Pack in my hot little hands, I was all set to go!!!


Have you seen the new papers for this release??? Aren't they yummy!?! I love all the patterns and colors. The one that stood out and sang, "make a banner card from me" was the circle pattern with diamonds in it.


I cut a strip of that paper so it created the flags for me! I then just had to trim around them, easy peasy!!! Course, I thought the fun shape of the flag would add a little interest and boy does it!!! My hubby said, "that looks like undies on a clothes line!" heehee. Kinda does but that just makes it more fun!

I'm using the Fall For You and Sweet Thoughts of Spring stamp sets.



I have a Create a Card video for you as well so you can see step by step on how this card was made. I hope you enjoy it here or at YouTube.



I hope you all will try making a banner card!!!

So, I bet you are wondering who won my little game on my blog from yesterday!!!!

First, the answer was D.

I loved all your comments.... but I really did have a weird day and I didn't make them up. Yes, a cow peed on my car and a lizard ran across the road as I was about to pull onto our street. Weird, right. This stuff happens to me all the time. As for the cow incident, I was driving on the freeway behind a small trailer carrying about 6 cows when one peed and it sprayed all over the front of my car. Ugh. And just so you know, I did have a bat dive bomb me, but that was months ago, not yesterday! ha ha.

So... our winner of a Love in Return stamp set is...

Emily Keaton
