We got some fun cards for the “Banner” challenge this week! Wanna see?

One banner makes one big impact on this happy-go-lucky card by Kay Sibley!

Hold the phone – Christmas is in how many weeks?! 11?! I guess it’s time to start thinking about making those Christmas cards huh? Take a queue from Giselle Zimmerman’s bannerific card!

Season's Greetings by Giselle Zimmerman

I know of at least a dozen babies being born in the next couple months: wouldn’t this sweet card by Samantha Sibbet make an excellent congratulations?

Samantha dazzles us again with this circus-themed card. It would also make a great birthday card for a little tot.

Thank You by Samantha Sibbet

Most of the cards I send are thank you cards and I’ve been running out of ideas lately! Not any more, this thank you card by Kelly Marie Alvarez is getting my inspiration flowing again!

Thanks by Kelly Marie Alvarez

Here’s a beautiful take on the banner theme – an elegant holiday card by Michelle Philippi.

I've been scrapbooking since I was 16 years old and love the hobby more each day! I enjoy making things by hand - from cards and layouts to books and baskets. My day is not complete unless I've made something. I'm the Copy Editor for the Northridge magazines and love all the inspiration I get from seeing everyone's creations. On a more personal note, we're expecting our first baby, a boy, in October and we couldn't be more thrilled!
