Feeling Patriotic!!

Happy Saturday sweet friends!!  I just finished up with Farmer's Market this morning and we are on our way up to the mountains for a little hiking adventure!  I just love these sunny summer days!!! I'm in heaven I tell you.  This week I was feeling a little patriotic as I realized that the 4th of July is right around the corner.  I wanted to make a little banner to hang on my peg shelf and I remembered the sweetest little tag that Melissa Phillips created and thought it would make the start of a beautiful banner!! Thanks for the inspiration Melissa!!

I used the Loopsy Daisy dies to make the bows. I stamped the stars onto kraft cardstock and printed the gingham pattern onto kraft cardstock from a template that I have saved on my computer.  Love, love, love the red, blue, cream and kraft combination! Thanks again Melissa for the inspiration!  I added some cream felt that was die cut with the notched flower dies.  I added some twine, a button and krinkled paper to each bow.  

 I attached the bows onto kraft and rustic cream layered pennants and embellished with lace.  I printed the Celebrate Freedom on my computer and notched the edges.  I die cut the stars with PTI's seeing stars dies.

I used my Cricut machine to cut God Bless America using the Stand and Salute Cartridge.

I just love the Loopsy Daisy bow!! It will be perfect for all types of banners!!  Here's a close-up of the bow!  So very Americana!!

This  little banner will hang on the pegs on my little shelf in my living room!! Perfect for the 4th of July celebration!!
