Banner Time

Ha ha - do you get the pun...if not try singing it...Banner time (sounds like Hammer Time by M.C. Hammer??) o.k. never mind. anyway, tis the season to start creating some lovely banners for well, Mother's Day and Memorial Day, 4th of July and hey maybe even for Dad's day...but first I want to start with MOM - because she is the most important in the world, right? {wink wink}

 

I bought some small chipboard banner shaped triangles awhile back and had covered them with some fun papers also awhile ago and just pulled them out yesterday and just added these fun letters using my new SLICE machine by Making Memories...Will share that new baby later in the week.

 

But here's my finished banner - I'm liking it. Whatch'a think?

 

 

Aren't the colors different and fun.

 

I think its o.k. to use patterned paper as long as you use solid colored letters to offset the background colors.

 

See how pretty they look up close!

Lets make some banners

I want to share a video I made to give you some ideas on creating quick and easy mini banners with things you have around the house, I presume you are living in a crafty house {wink wink}

O.k. in case you want to know specifics before hand so you can be prepared, some items you can use to make these cool banners are felt, paper that has been punched with paper punches, in this case I used a heart punch and of course your sewing machine....

 

 

 

 

later I'll show you where I placed my banners around my house and some other quick decorating ideas.

 

 

Happy crafting - I am linking this up to the parties above.
