I am LOVING all the banners I am seeing these days~

I created this layout today using the Sizzix Texture Boutique. (you can win one over at the Scrapbook Trends blog!) I wanted to create a layout using the birthday theme and this paper from Sassafrass Lass was PERFCT for it! But my favorite thing are these 12″ banner strips. They come on a large 12×12 sheet with a variety of banner shapes. The look is so festive and free! The best part.. no cutting all those little shapes and sticking them individually.

Here is another Instant Craftication Valentines Day project!

banner1

I wanted to put together a banner really quickly and would be economical – especially since Valentines day is right around the corner. To create this. ..

  •  I took the pre-printed and cut valentine cards. (Ka-Zoo by K&Company) and added ruffled crepe paper streamer to the back of each card.
  • I adhered a pre-glittered chipboard letter to the front of each card.
  • Hung a ribbon on the wall and clipped each card to the ribbon using a small binder clip.

This project took about 45 minutes to complete… including the time that it took me to dig around for the letters in my stash.
