BANNERS!

Well the last week and a half have seemed to speed on by for me as I plan so many exciting projects for the next month or so! And to top it all off, I am leaving to go to Alberta tomorrow to attend a retailers event with my boss and to spend the weekend at the much anticipated Camp Croppin!!

 I am so super excited to be going this year for the first time and joining some of my crafty friends in two days of jammed packed scrappy fun!!

It seems like lately I have been sticking to the trends and using cute little banners on my scrapbook pages and projects. So before I pack up my stuff and head out the door, I wanted to share a quick little trick I found to really help when making the ends of my banners!

First I cut a line straight up the center about 1/2 inch. So you then have a piece that has what looks like two legs.

I then cut from one corner diagonally up to the top of the first line I cut, taking out a smaller triangular piece.

I then proceed to do the same to the other corner and DONE!
For me it works just about perfect every time!
