My first project is a 12×12 scrapbook layout that I absolutely love.  It was my first time using paints and a banner.  4th of July is a big deal for our family as my sister was born on the 3rd, my Dad is the 4th and cousin Danny is the 14th.  We had gone out to eat the year these photos were taken so no one had a mess to clean up.  It’s really hard to tell, but the red section is where my journalling is.

 The star is two layers of chipboard that I painted with acrylic paint.  I rippled the ribbon underneath to hopefully give the effect of a waving flag.  The banner was made with my new Stampin’ Up pendant punch.

For the title I used Cricut Craft Room to weld the letters and then covered them with red stickles for a bit of a pop.  I wanted the colors to be more antique like, but it needed just that pop.
