Spring is the Beginning

Banner

Spring is a great time to celebrate for many reasons.

One of the best ways to express this time is with a

handmade banner. This banner represents Easter, and

Springtime. Made with Altered Pages sweet Easter and

Spring collage sheets, it is very welcoming and bright.

You begin with a 5x7 inch piece of scrapbook paper. I double

the banner to give it a sturdy foundation. I then but the "V"

shape to make the banner flag. I make three of these, and

you can either make them all the same or different.

Then of course you collage! I have use several images from the

listing of Altered Pages collage sheets listed below.

I add gold hearts, and sayings to each banner. I punch

holes around one inch in from edge of banner and just 1/2 inch

down from top. I thread jute or you can use anything you like to

create hanger. Finally I created small word tags to add with Gelato's and Stencil 1 sayings.

I hope you give this a try, and not just for

Easter or Springtime -- works for all times of the year!

Thanks for taking a look, and as always come on over

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
