Banner Swap

I have a group of crafty friends that I know from the internet

and we decided to have a banner swap.

There were only 4 of us participating in this swap,

we each sent a couple themes that we would like for our banner.

Whoever got our name could decide on the theme to make.

I got my friend Marie.

One of the choices Marie had listed was something to
"Claim my sewing/crafting space"

That is what I decided to make.

I had a tough time coming up with what exactly to do.

Once I finally decided on a style, it all fell into place.

Here is what I made for Marie.

There are 6 individual "envelopes" and each one is decorated

and strung onto ribbon. 

 I made a set of  alpha cards so she can change the words to suit her mood.

For words that are shorter than 6 letters,

I stamped and colored cards to fill in the empty envelopes,

like this one below.

I made a little holder to keep all the alpha and stamped cards in.

 

These are some of the stamped cards.

I used images from QKR Stampede, Eureka! Stamps

and Biblical Impressions.

These images were colored with FlexMarkers

The alpha cards were embossed with silver embossing powder.

 

I hope Marie will get a lot of inspiration from her banner.

Here is a picture of the gorgeous banner

my friend Sunni made for me in the swap.

I love, love, love it and I know I will enjoy it for years to come!

Thank you Sunni!!!!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
