March Dust It Off Challenge by Missy




Design Team Member Missy submitted this project for the March Dust it Off Challenge.  She said:

When I found out about the Dust It Off Challenge, my first thought was to use my Fasenator, but I thought that I had given it away long ago. So I was going through my "old stuff" box, and guess what? I found it! Now what was I going to do with it?

I was making a banner as a gift in a swap. So I used the Fasenator as the way to attach the banner together. I had some of the decorative staples and just slid the ribbon under each side and tied knots. I learned alot about my Fasenator, and it has since earned it's spot back on my tool shelf! I'm not so sure it won't get dusty again though!

I used my Cricut Storybook cartridge for the letters and used my Gypsy to alter some of the shapes for the letter backings. Both the hot pink ribbon and the light pink scalloped oval were distressed with my mini mister filled with water and then scrunched up. I inked around the edges with Close to My Heart Bubblegum stamp pad.

Now it's your turn to take the March Challenge. See all the details HERE!

  7. Ummmm...brilliant, I tell you !!! I SOOO LOVE that you just used little pieces of ribbon attached instead of a strand the whole length!! I've been considering making a banner for the house...I think you just pushed me over the edge (it's a good edge)...!!
