Last week I made this banner for Valentines day… The “bases” are an image from the Cricut Storybook cartridge, set at 5.5″ and the pattern paper is cut to 4×6… The letters are 4″ from the same cricut cartridge.
I was able to go through my “stash” to get stuff to make it and ended up using some paper that I bought at Costco ages ago… I love when I can use stuff that I have had laying around for a while.
It’s pretty easy to assemble, I did put eyelets in the upper corners to help the paper from tearing.
I LOVE this banner Melissa! I like how you used the eyelets, I have a million of those and didn’t think to use them for the ribbon.
You make it pretty hard to adhere to “thou shalt not covet”. I LOVE this banner. You should sell them on etsy. I haven’t found much in the way of crafting supplies here in Spain so etsy is my only outlet. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, it!
Okay, you know I love it. Now I am going to be on the lookout for paper at Costco. It looks so good in front of the white mantel.
How cute! I want the storybook cartridge. I have that paper from Costco too. I checked some of the fun stuff you put in the side bar. Thanks!
This is so pretty! Bonus that you made it using supplies you already had on hand!
Love it!!
I love your banner! So cute!

I would love to share this on mypetitepurse.blogspot.com (a blog all about great gift ideas). Would it be OK if I linked to you and used an image of the banner?

I love it! I am not that great with the scrapbooking, but you inspired me to finish one! I posted about it and put a link for you in my post. I hope you don’t mind, I can remove it.
Thank you for sharing so many of your great ideas!!!
