Hello and happy Saturday!
Hope you are having a fun one! Have you noticed all of the wonderful banners and garlands that seem to be everywhere here in blogland? Well, I just love them, so I thought I'd try my hand at creating one. A week or so ago I showed you my
French Christmas wall hangings/ornaments. Well, I used those same postcards to create a banner that I just placed in my
Etsy shop.
Oooh, la, la! The Eiffel Tower, Arch de Triumph, sweet birds flying over Sacre Couer, and my favorite bridge in Paris, the Pont Alexandre III.
I embellished the cards with rhinestones, and a couple of my glittered paper roses made from vintage French book pages. You know how I've become addicted to seam binding, well, I finally learned how to crinkle it myself, thanks to you creative ladies here who shared your crinkling secrets!! Now that I've finally made my first garland, I want to experiment with different designs. The possibilities are endless!
Happy crafting!!
I am linking up with the following fun parties:

This project came out really great! This is a good idea for all the Christmas cards, birthday cards, anniversary cards that we get throughout the year!
I have yet to do a garland...

Very cute Donna. Love the garland. They are so pretty.
Donna-
The first thing I noticed was the ribbon (seam binding). It's gorgeous!!! And of course, the sweet paper flower on the post card was the best. Those are my favorites!

Donna these look lovely, especially against the blue! Lezlee
Just lovely! Your banner looks so very professional....I want to try one, but I admit, I'm daunted and scared of how it'll turn out! I may just have to bite the bullet.
(Also, I really appreciate you having my blog in your blogroll on your sidebar....it means a lot to me!)
Hi Donna,
This looks so fabulous!!! And I love the dresser too! Your banner turned out beautiful!

Donna, I love this garland. The colors are lovely and I love the little details that you added!
I keep saying I am going to try my hand at one of these. Still haven't done it yet. Just like my chalkboard paint. Still sitting unused...
