And now onto my project:
I started with this frame. The opening is about 7.5" x 15" and was sold "as is" at Michaels. It was probably a custom frame that did not work for the customer who ordered it. It was perfect for what I had in mind....
I am a visual crafter and have learned that by using Cricut Craft Room and my Imagine Cartridges together, I could see just how big (height AND width) each image is. I can not print and cut (right now) with CCR, so I took the size that I wanted and cut the pieces out on my Imagine.
I used the banner flags from Yummy Cricut Imagine cartridge.
I cut two of each banner flags and the layers sized to 2.5 inches.
In order to fit on the banner flags, I sized theses letters from Martha Stewart Birthday Cake Art at .70 inches.
The banner flags were not filling up the space like I wanted to I went back to Gypsy.
I put a banner flag from Birthday Bash on my mat about the same size as the Yummy flags. I opened up a new Layer and copied the banner flag on it. I enlarged the flag until the layers looked good (3.22 inches).
I cut out the banner flags in the same blue cardstock as the letters. I embossed the flags with Stampin' Up Chevron Sixxiz embossing folder. I tied the banner flags together with pink and blue twine.
Thank you for stopping by!!
Your next stop on the hop is NORMA.

Wonderful banner! Love your blog!
this is a lovely banner!!! love the colors you used! thanks for the inspiration!
You did a great job on that banner and gave wonderful directions too! Thanks for the hop and have a great week!
You put so much wonderful tiny little details on this banner! It's gorgeous!!!
Very nice little step-by-step you've written here.
Visualization tools are pretty important in crafts, I think, especially with resizeable stuff from cartridges or svgs or plain ol' digital stamps. It's great you've found one that works for you; you certainly seem to know how to work with it.
Beautiful Banner. Love it.
Hugs, Rosalee
