Hello crafty peeps! Trell from Polka Dots, Paint, & Cake Batter here and I'm guesting on Everyday Cricut this week. I am super excited and I have a lot to share this week. Before I get into my project for today, I want to thank
Joy and Melanie for having me, it’s an honor.
I think most people that read my
blog, know that I am a cardmaker. That’s my passion, but would it surprise you
all that I did something, “off the page,” to kick off the week?
Does this not put you in the Christmas mood? This was really simple and quick to make. I spent more time deciding on the pattern for the pennants than anything else!
I used the Black & White Pattern Cartridge by Teresa Collins for the sheet music, and I printed it on Kraft cardstock from Jo-Ann. I cut the pennants (3.75" x 5.5") from Birthday Bash. The patterned paper I used for the rosettes (3") is from Echo Park. I did some embellishing with doilies, glass glitter, pom-pom trim, and ribbon.
For full details and instructions, visit my blog. I even have the Gypsy file for those that want it. Thanks for stopping by today. Be blessed!
Be sure and check out Joy's and Melanie's personal blogs for more creative goodness at Obsessed with Scrapbooking and Courtney Lane Designs!

Love the sparkle on those rosettes. Great Banner.
very pretty and welcome. I love the rosettes and made 13 Rosette ribbons for 4th of July parade winners this year. No one expected it as I usually just do certificates so it came as a nice surprise.

Pretty neat design.
I look forward to fall every year. I love the cooler weather, football, the excitement of gran kiddos getting ready for school. Halloween, upcoming Thanksgiving holidays. AND most importantly... candy corn is back in season!!!! It's only ripe in the fall and ONLY on the Halloween aisle. All other candy corn is bogus!!
Lovely job Trell! Paper choices are awesome and I really like the way you used those paper doilies too! I want that file but didn't see it on your site
This really does get me in the Christmas spirit. It is very pretty. I look forward to more.
Beautiful detail! I looove Christmas and can't wait to see my honey Myles, he's my handsome 2 yr old son, get excited about Christmas! Keep up the good work :-)
I am so NOT ready for Christmas yet, but this banner is just beautiful! Love the sheet music for the pennants...and the glitter is perfect! :)
Very cute Trell I can't wait to see the rest of your work.

Great project. I love the rosettes on the doiles.
Great project, love how you printed on the kraft cardstock.
It's time to start your holiday crafting, so you can enjoy the holidays without added stress of an unfinished project.
I'm a musician, so I love the sheet music pennants! Thanks for the inspiration. A sparkly banner like this would look great on our front-door wreath.
Love the banner and the color choices. Love the music paper. Thanks for sharing.
Excited to have Trell on as guest and can't wait to see his cards. Also, Christmas is fabulous anytime of year (and Halloween too, hint). Love the change to win I almost bought that cart (saw it on sale today) but said I would wait. Maybe that was a sign...LOL. Looking forward to the week!

Love the folded fans with sparkle!
I especially love the distressed sheet music on these. It makes it feel like they were made from some old sheet music long ago (didn't they used to recycle that way back then?)
I love these. I want to start making Christmas cards Tina
Trell, love the gorgeous banner. I'm ready for some cooler weather and my grandson can't wait to go back to school. (1st grade)
