Gearing up for WINTER

With some wintery home decor. But who says winter can' be bright and fun? I used the Teenie Beanie Sprout album from Punky Sprouts - I used the banner and bracket pages from two of these albums and put them together to create a fun banner. This month we're celebrating the season on the Punky blog, so come check out what the rest of the DT created as well :)

For more interest, I lightly distressed the edges with my scissors:

I also backed all the chipboard stickers with paper for more emphasis:

At the top of each page, and under some of the elements, I added icicles that I cut out of glitter cardstock:

I popped all the chipboard letters up with pop dots for more emphasis:

I added the doilies that I cut out using my Cheery Lynn die, and backed some of them with cardstock to help them stand out from the background paper. I also inked their edges:
