another banner swap

per one of my previous post... I fell in love with this cute mini banner concept. I had to join one more swap. One at the CPA and this one for In this House here are the mini banners I made for them.....



I used the heart on wings concept (again) with an image of vintage valentine cherub.... I included a quote (on the back) that inspired me.

"The quickest way to receive love is to give it;
the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
and the best way to keep love is to give it wings."

The picture does not do it justice... the wings are metallic silver and the vintage valentine is on some aged linen paper the background is vintage sheet music. I could not decide between the pink ribbon or the glitter..... so i did half and half.... a total of 6 for the swap.

art break

we interrupt this regularly scheduled blog post for a "cute" art break.... I signed up for a mini banner swap at the CPA (my friend Linda is hosting) and fell in love... the size is perfectly addicting. This swap had the theme of "love" for valentine's day..... I have always had a wing obsession and when I decided a heart would be fitting for the mini banner - I knew I had to put wings on it :) a few of the banners and art plates I have received from my CPA friends (in the past) have had cute little beads on them..... So I had to try it myself.... to attach the bead - I had to use wire...look what i found.... this cute hot pink colour again perfect for valentines day.....
oh - I'm in love with this project might have to make a few more just for fun!
