BBTB2 Challenge: Banners

It's my turn to host the current two week challenge at the Bitten By The Bug challenge site. The challenge theme I chose is:  BANNERS.

Banners can be used for everything! They can be small on a card or scrapbook page or large for party décor. My son's goddaughter is having her first birthday this weekend so I made this photo/selfie frame for it. As you can tell, I had a lot of fun making it & it was a huge hit during the party!

It was really hard to take a picture of the frame itself since it's 3x4 feet. The cuts ranged from 10" to 3.5".


Details:
I purchased a cut file from Miss Kate's Cuttables of carnival snacks. She has the cutest SVGs and many of them are free. Check her website out here.

I also used the Nifty Fifties cartridge for the soda bottles, the Create-A-Critter cartridge for the animals, pedestals, peanuts & balls and an assortment of fonts for the letters.

This was the first time I looked for carnival-themed cuts and was happy to find out that I had a bunch in the Create-A-Critter cartridge.

The triangles for the banner were cut using the Art Philosophy cartridge. You could use basic shapes to cut them, but I liked the rounded corners on these triangles, plus the holes were already set.

Challenge:
Now it's your turn...don't forget to click over to the Bitten By The Bug site to join the challenge and to check out the DT projects. I am so in awe over the DT projects. Everyone is so talented!
