Welcome to my blog and to the Die Cut Diva Christmas in July Blog Hop! I'm so glad you have decided to stop by today! If you are planning on doing the entire blog hop, please start at the Die Cut Diva Blog and then start hopping! You should have visited Steph and Becky's blog before stopping by mine. I hope you are enjoying the Christmas eye candy the designers have shown so far!
I used the Rectangle Accordion Mini Album with Layers & Tin for my project. I took the "mini album" part of it, separated the pages and made it into this cute holiday banner. It easily folds up and stores in the tin. It will be a special gift for someone come Christmas time this year!
Here is my "Wishes" Banner:
