Inspired by the Thankful banner at OPSC, I made my very own tigardlilly banner.
I should start this off by suggesting, if you want to make a banner for your scrap room/ nook/ corner/ lab/ lair you should not pick a scrap alias with 11 letters because this puppy is 46” long! I couldn't even get a decent picture on the entire banner. Two more pennants and I could have done my full first and last names! (On a similar note, scrappers should not give their children names that have the same letter three times. There is not enough Bs in any chipboard set on earth. As a mater of fact, if I ever have another child, I’m naming it ZXQ.)
These sots of things are very difficult for me because I was born with out any spatial reasoning ability. I’ve spent millions of dollars seeing thousands of doctors in hundreds of countries on all seven continents. Yes, all seven! And they all agree, those of us afflicted with missing spatial reason at birth can never recover and spatial ability cannot be learned. Luckily, there is an organization to that provides Spatial-Ed services in schools and trains service animals (mostly monkeys) that will rotate 3D puzzle pieces into their proper orientation. Please visit NoIDontKnowWhatThatWillFoldInto.org to see how you can help.
Oh yeah, I also can’t see though those dang dolphins hiding in the 3D posters either, not that I’m bitter. I just spent most of the 90s hiding in shame. Since I was financially strapped from seeking experimental spatial cortex re-growth treatments, the I Am Squinting My Eyes and I Still Can’t See the Dolphin Though the Pink and Purple Squiggly Lines Foundation helped with the overcome the PTSD. They were the 
leading organization behind the movement have these removed from doctors and dentists’ office across the country. If your MD still has one of these devices of torture in their exam room, please alert the officials at IASMEAISCSTDTTPAPSL.org
Meanwhile back on the banner ranch….I really wish I had that pennant die from Stampin’ Up, bit lacking a time machine that would allow me to have ordered the giganto die two weeks ago AND the $40 to pay for it; I had to resort to other means, mainly, trial and error. When I started to worry that six trillion failed templates was quickly becoming the leading cause of deforestation in the world, I decided just to adhere strips of Threading Water cut cardstock to the back of the letter pennants. Actually the scallops line up rather nicely for the 5x4” pennants.

For this banner, I used Basic Grey’s Ambrosia. Melonscraps helped me out with a scrap of Elephant Bazzil and some eyelets. That right girls, I used eyelets, 55 of them! At first I only used 33, but when I started to string it, I decided I needed eyelets in the top scallops too. I actually ran out one color, and didn’t have the color that melonscraps had let me used, so I stole the ten eyelets I needed from her stash when she walked out of the room. (Don’t tell her, OK. Were cool right? Dude, you better not rat me out) I cut the letter on my Silhouette (Pharmacy font) and inked them and pop dotted them to the pennants. I cut and Diamond Glazed eight butterflies from the sheet of Basic Grey Winsome. As the Diamond Glaze dried, the butterflies wings curled a bit and it look great. I stickled their bodies and attached six to the pennants. Then I made eleven little dangles from crystal beads and looped them thought the bottom eyelet and scallop of each pennant. I strung it all on some black hemp cord and spent a day trying to figure out where in my scrap lair I could hang the sucker.

Readers,
Let me clear the air....Not only did she steal some of my eyelets, but she didn't do it when I left the room...she STOLE my eyelets while I was still sleeping!!! Seriously though, I have tons of eyelets, I have been "storing" thousands of them for 4 years, so she can use 'em up all she wants!! She knew that, and I was totally cool with it when she informed me that she stole some!
Oh and hey! Did you get my message about the 20% off? Let me know!
I can't see those stupid 3-D things either! Drives me ape! :D
