I really loved the pattern of a plastic bag that I got in a store recently. I wanted to create a similar pattern on a layout and I was thinking about using a pen, but decided to go for the sewing machine instead.

After creating my background I added the photos and small bits and pieces from some of the latest CD kits. The title says “In the car” (red) and “On our way home from Gothenburg” (teal).

I hope your weekend is full of scrapping and love!

Banners have been on the radar for a while but now with a few companies introducing them into their lines it is a current trend not just with scrapbooking but with home, parties and wedding decor! Here are a few of them that I have noticed around the web and may provide a little inspiration for you in your next project, !

Jenni Bowlin Studio alpha banner stickers are so cute and are in our March kit!

Sassafras doesn’t disappoint with their new sticker embellishments, I love the variety of colors and shapes these come in! A good way to make banner stickers last longer is to cut them in half and frame them around your items on a project.

I also adore this paper  from the dearlizzy line by American Crafts. It makes my craf knife happy each graphic is just lovely!

If you are feeling  like you are ready to tackle a diy project, each one of these products will make your project easy. I think you can easily make invitations or cards like this with any of the above products.
