Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog #31 - Mind Your Banners!!

I can't believe it's June already!!  My second born son will be graduating from High School on Thursday, so the house is getting busy with out-of-town guests.  I love when family comes to visit :o)

Let's get on with the challenge at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog. For the next 2 weeks, we want you to "Mind Your Banners!!".  This should be an easy challenge for everyone, just look at the different DT inspiration.

As always with Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog, we have 2 wonderful sponsors for this challenge.  

The winner of QKR Stampede is 5 images.

The winner of Bugaboo is 7 images.  

How awesome of these sponsors!!

I got to work with Bugaboo image Bugaboo Brat-Liberty.  She is cute and I knew it would be pretty  easy to create a project with banners.  I also tried another bendy card since they are very easy to do and different.

I try to find some patriotic paper in my stash.  Good thing I had a couple!  The stripe is a discount paper I've been hoarding, as well as the BoBunny and Paper Studio.  I'm still using the 300 pieces of paper I got from a going out of business small shop from years ago, it's a good thing.  The stars are die-cuts with metal between two of them, then stuck on the first fold, hidden by paper over them. 

I printed out the image twice, but reversed one of the images.  I needed it for the backside of the second bend fold.  Each star on the banners are die-cuts.  I know I could get really fancy with this card.  I could even find some embellishments to hide the slits, but I'm not for sure what I will do or if it really needs anything else.  I'll either write a message or find a sentiment for the back part.

thanks for looking and reading :o)  Hope to see your banners in the challenge!
