a Love-ly banner

Hi there!

Here I am to show you a quick an easy project I made for ScrapGal.

I've decided to do something new to me, a banner! How exciting, right?

Here's the full view:

and some close ups:

This banner was so simple to put together. I used scraps from my Feb. Kit containing Graphic 45 "Le Romantique" Papers, frames, tags, and trim.  To make the patterns I fussy cut stand out, I added some glossy accents.

Now I used these tags that came with my kit

then punched the end and inked them after distressing them a bit. I added a pretty ribbon by May Arts that I already had in my stash to tie on top.

 I used this cute little mini book to use as a frame for the letters I cut out using my Cricut.

I cut out scraps to fit the mini book, added eyelets to string the tags together, and that's it! I was always afraid to try to make a banner thinking they were more complicated to make. I was pleasantly surprised and hope to make some more.

Supply List:

Patterned Paper, lace trim: Graphic 45

Ribbon: May Arts

Hope you've been inspired to try something you haven't tried yet. Until next time!
