BANNER HOP


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

Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you.

Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Review

Good morning friends, Carolyn here with a review of a new tool I just recently purchased.  Received a newsletter from Scrapbook.com recently and checked it out.  But I did not purchase from Scrapbook.com as it's out of stock, so went to another source, and it arrived this past Saturday afternoon. TIP:  Easy way to create borders for your scrapbook page layouts, or embellishing the page or creating edges for your cards.  Gives you ease of creating a border across the edge(s) of paper; and create a border strip and cut down to size you would like for embellishing a sentiment mat for a card or front of card. Supplies used: Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Fiskars' smaller interchangeable border punch cartridges - double scalloped edge   Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Here is a short write up about the system: The unique design of the AdvantEdge Punch System by Fiskars allows crafters to add perfectly aligned decorative borders and ribbons to any pr
