Sarah's May Challenge!!

So in my recent blog hopping and scrappy shopping I have noticed that banners are trendy again.
I decided we should jump on the trend and use some banners. Handmade banners can be great for using up your paper scraps.

There is so much scope for creativity with banners. So many different shapes and styles that can be made/used.

My challenge for you is to use any type of banner on your page. It can be handmade like mine, pre bought, stamped etc.
In addition to that I would like to see a frame of some sort on your page.

Here is my example layout:


I hope you like this challenge and give it a go.
Entries need to be uploaded into the correct folder in the gallery by Midnight on May 31st.
The winner of this challenge will receive some awesome goodies from Handmade by Halo

great challenge love the photos used she is so cute

love your banners and esp love your clustering at the bottom of your layout

Oooh, I love banners!! Such a gorgeous page, Sarah!!

Fabulous challenge Sarah and I love your example, your banners rock!

Awesome Job, Sarah! I love the colour combination you used! I like banners lots, too, but never get around to using them unless I am asked to. I must learn to keep them in mind since banners always look so great.

Thank you ladies. Hope you all have a go at the challenge

I'd never heard of banners until last months embellie swap! Your page is beautiful Sarah, the colours, the letters in individual frames, lace and bits..its all so nice.

I have edited in a better pic of Sarah's layout for you all to view now!

I think it is gorgeous!!

Sarah - this is just beautiful. xo

Soooo pretty! I have started this chall, but having trouble getting a frame on the page- not something i do often! Guess that's why it's called a challenge! Lol

Well... its National Scrapbooking Day and i'm not going to let it get away without scrapping something, so with 24mins left to the day, lol, i am going to go make a start on this challenge!!

well loading in the gallery is going to have to be tried another time, its hating me at the moment, and wont let me upload, keeps saying my file is too large or corrupted, which it isnt

I cant load into the gallery either Vicki. It just keeps saying file is too large or corrupted. File size is only 150kb.

Here is Amanda's gorgeous layout. Using banners and a frame
