Grateful Banner

G banner
I've been in a banner making mood lately so thought I'd share this banner I made for Thanksgiving.

I used our Sydney Circle Album Kit which made this project so easy!  Combine the kit, our Flourish-bet Alphabet Stamp Set and a few embellishments and this banner was complete in no time at all!

I even added glitter!  I endured the mess because I thought it would be so much fun!  What really attracked me though was the color of these glitters!  I knew they'd be a perfect match with our Sydney papers!  AND ... they were 50% off ... which made them $1.50 at our local craft store.

To make the scallop wheels I rolled 2 scallop circles ...

And then pulled out my Scor-Buddy to score them.  Notice the green line I drew on my Scor-Buddy.  I can't tell the lines apart so I colored one in with a Sharpie.  I scored in half, rotated, scored in half, rotated, etc ...

Cut one line up to the center.  TIP:  You could also use a circle punch and punch a small hole in the center, where all of the points meet, to make folding a tad easier!

I then applied Scor-Tape to one scallop ...

A fun project that truly looks FABULOUS in person!  I hope you enjoy!
