Trim photos and papers into pennants, add them in slight curves across a neutral background paper, and then stitch across the top of each row to quickly and easily make a banner-themed page!

Do you like banners? Have you created pages with them before? I love this trend and still find myself making pages with banners! I’d love to see your banner creations, so link to them in the comments.
