BANNER HOP

By

Welcome to the Banner Bonanza Blog Hop!


We're so glad you could join us today! If you've come from TERESA's blog, you're in the right place. If you've just come across the hop, please start at the beginning with Ashley at Made Especially For You.

For my banner project, I went old school.  I put away all my cutting machines and fancy tools, and stuck with the basics.  First, I bought a pre-made banner from target in their dollar deals bin.  Yep, only a buck.  Then, I grab some things I had in my stash including chipboard elements, stickles, etc.
Here is what I used for my banner...

Finally, I just got creative and started decorating...

Lastly, I put my banner together...

To dress up the banner up some, I used different ribbons to accent.  The best part is when I am ready to take it down, I can just roll the ribbons back up to use for another project.

Here is a closer picture...

I hope this inspires you some.  You don't need a lot of tools or money to make a nice banner (even though I still couldn't live/scrap without my Cricut and Gypsy, lol!)

We also have some fabulous sponsors giving away prizes
