Banner of Love

I just love banners.

I'm so glad that someone decided to

bring them into the forefront of crafting!  I have made

banners for myself and to sell...can't get enough of 'em!

When I received my box of goodies for designing with 

PRO 31 DESIGNS

I quickly jotted down the idea for a sweet banner

for Sydnee's room!

After painting the Maya Road scalloped banners in a 

bright candy pink, I distressed the chipboard with a bit of 

walnut ink.  The triangle portion of the banner was covered in 

patterned papers by My Mind's Eye and then embellished with all sorts 

of yummy goodies!

I love these scalloped dies by Lifestyle Crafts...they work with 

all sorts of die-cutting machines...and who doesn't love doilies?!?

One of my very favorite aspects of crafting is digging waaay back in your

stash and coming up with some gems that you'd forgotten about...like the glitter

alphas by K & CO :)

Fun little 3-D Stickers by K&CO and puffy 

dimensional stickers by Martha Stewart, matched the papers perfectly.

Each panel was outlined in a shabby silver tinsel trim!

You must get some of these!  I'm in love with these 3-D Acrylic Flowers

from PRO 31...they have tons of colors and an 

assortment of shapes on hand.

And while you're at it, you must have some of the 

beautiful Wheat Sprays...and what's not to love about

a dear white dove?  They offer small and large sizes.  Did you know

that you can alter the color by adding alcohol inks?  That's a pretty cool fact :)

For hanging, I used the ring that came with the chipboard album 

and decorated them with satin and grosgrain ribbons from PRO 31 DESIGNS

Open a standard paper clip and hook one end through the ring and attach

the other end to whatever you'd like to hang it from.To attach all of the banners together, I used a length of
blue Rose and Sequin Trim and Fabri-Tac. 

Let me know if you have any questions about this project.
I know that photos can be a little deceiving about dimension and those
little details...I'll be happy to share.
Glad to see you today...I appreciate you coming by!
