My First Banner

Hi everyone, Its me again.  I'm on a roll this weekend.  Two projects crossed off my list of to dos... LOL!!  I wanted to share my very first banner ever... Now, I have done a letter banner swap but this is my first actual banner made for my friends daughter.  I used the colors and inspiration from her bedding my friend told me.  I went from there.  Check it out...






Ok, I used the scallop mini album that I got from Michaels and covered it with some recollection baby boy pattern paper.  I used Blue,Green and Chocolate Bazzil cardstock.  I also use chipboard coasters from Michaels too.  The pattern on the bedding is like a mosaic and I mimic it in the banner.  I used a embossing folder from Cuttlebug to embossing the squares.  I borrowed my friends Cricut to cut out the letters out from the Bazzil cardstock.  I bought some puffies star stickers from KI Memories at Michaels.  I thought it went perfectly with the banner.  Lastly, I used some chocolate and white polka dot silk ribbon and my white exlarge eyelets to finish it off. 

I just love this banner and I hope my friends daughter will love it too.

Thanks everyone for stopping by today and have a wonderful Sunday!

Hugs, Friday

Happy Sunday Friday...it's 90 degrees in beautiful California! I love your banner. The embossing looks great. They are addicting. I made one for myself for my 35th birthday and I still love it. They will love Chase's too!

Take care...Regina
