Valentine Banner

Long, long before I started scrapbooking and cardmaking I was a crafter. I have dabbled in a lot of different crafts. I just really enjoy making things... all kinds of things!! :-) For the past couple of years I have stuck to papercrafting, but 2011 is the year I "dabble" into all things crafty again!! LOL
 Not only do I love crafting but I love decorating our home. (Useless info- I took a couple of Interior Design classes. I would like to take some more... one of these days!!) So, this is the year to mix the two. LOL I am starting out with this "Love" banner for Valentine's day. 

 As you can see, it is pretty long, so it is hard to photograph.

Here you can see the pretty papers I used, My Mind's Eye's Love Nest Glittered paper. I used my Gypsy to manipulate all of my layers. (By "unlinking" my images I can adjust the Height and Width separately.) And by using the Gypsy I could size all of my layers perfectly before cutting them out with my Cricut. (I used a bracket shaped for 2 layers, a scalloped oval, plain oval, letters from the Storybook cartridge and a heart in 2 sizes.)
 I used eyelash fiber to tie my "flags" together and and then I used  grosgrain ribbon on the ends. All layers were inked with Vintage Photo and the scalloped ovals and hearts are pop dotted.
Thanks for stopping by!!
Until later~
