Baby Banner

I had soo much fun making this banner for my daughters baby room.  First, I cut out the banner shapes.  I used a double layer of duck cloth.  Next I painted on my designs with acrylic paint.  Polka dots, stripes, plaid, and I also used a couple of different stencils I had.  After they dried, I sewed the back layer onto each and aged the edges with brown acrylic paint.  I cut letters out of brown cardstock using my cricut (storybook program).  I clued each letter onto the pennants with elmers fabric and craft glue.  I then attached each pennant to a thin length of brown ribbon and tacked it in place with needle and thread.  That's it!   It turned out so shabby and cute!

Scrapbook Layout Contest...

I recently entered a sketch contest at our local scrapbook store, and won first place (1st place!).  This is the first time for me to enter a scrapbook layout contest.  The store does a monthly sketch contest.  I have great competition for this months contest, MY MOTHER!   I'm working on my October layout now.  I'm not sure if you can link to the newsletter where my layout is posted for September on the Signed Sealed Delivered newsletter or not, but I have listed it here http://www.emailcontact.com/nl/nl-output.php?nl_id=123809&bus_id=3029&plain=0.
