Birthday Banner

My daughter turned 11 last week, while she was at school I decided to make a banner to have hanging in the living room for when she got home.






The project used up stuff I had at my home, if you have a lot of left over fabric, this is the perfect de-stasher!

Each 'flower' of the banner is made of three scallop circles. I have a Big Shot and scallop circle die, so this was super fast and easy (especially since you can cut through 8 layers of fabric at once!)







I placed two circles back to back so that the right side of the fabric was facing out, the third circle, I added a little fold vertically and horizontally then sewed them to my other two circles. The made a nice poufy flower looking thing.

I made tons of these!

Then I took all my flower poufs and sewed them to some ribbon (the ribbon I even got for free during sale-a-bration from Stampin' Up). Once I was all done I realized I had a lot more garland then I thought I had...I mean a lot more! So I kind of did a double loopy thing on the wall.








It's so bright and springy though that I cant quite bring myself to take it down yet!

~BOO~ bunting

The Patriotic bunting is down and the new Halloween bunting is up!



(don't you love Kyler swinging on the branch...too cute)

This one was made using the Stamping Up Pennant die with the Big Shot Machine. The machine cut out my pennants. I also have an alphabet set for the Big Shot machine. I simply added some wonder under to my felt, ran it through the machine with the letters BOO, and then ironed them to my project. Sometimes having scrapbook tools around make projects go by SOOOO much faster!


I also added the little ghosts to swing on some of the branches on the tree too.




It was a little windy out, so I had to hold them to take pictures of these little ghosts.

Love,

~a bunting we will go~

I've had this cute little bunting hanging from my tree out front of our house since July....I just couldn't take it down because it was so bright and cheery. It was also so fun to see, because my kids sewed the whole thing! I just stood by and observed them!

...Well tomorrow it will finally be taken down and the Halloween bunting will go up!


Love,
