Fun with Banners!

I've done a lot of scrapbook pages in my time but can your believe I've never done a banner?  They are hugely popular right now for scrap pages.  I know I drew lots of inspiration from the work of our two featured designers today, come check them out with me!

Carin gave us banners 2 ways! She strung a beautiful butterfly banner across the top of her lovely spring page and then accented her photo by stringing ribbon style banners across the bottom!

Supplies:
Patterned Paper : Dimples, Doodle/Alora ; Alora 6x6 Paper Pad
Cardstock : Coordinating Double Dot - Poppy Dot
Chipboard : Alora Layered Chipboard

  3. I love how the tag banner was done with the banners slightly overlapping as well as the way the butteflys & flowers were attached to the twine.
