homemade banner

So I haven't been painting this week, but did want to show you this banner that I finished a while back.  I am so happy with it!  

I am serving on the Tartan Trot team at church right now ~ The Tartan Trot is a race that takes place in January (in conjunction with our Scottish Heritage celebration, thus the name) that raises funds to send our youth on mission trips, as well as support a variety of local/global outreach that our church is passionate about.  There is a 10K, 5K and a fun run for the kiddos.  For those of you who are local, it is also a Peachtree qualifier (big news here in Atlanta).

If you're interested, the link is here.

We wanted to make a 'splash' in the lobby for our fundraising kick-off.  I used my new silhouette (I donated the cricut to the church children's ministries!!  they love it!) to cut the letters from tartan fabrics & adhered them to the fleece using heat n bond.  I made the trim around the sides with strips of bandanas.

Excuse our messy table, we were just getting set up!

I also made the tablecloth while I was at it, using the same method except the trim on the tablecloth is actually ribbon.

thanks for stopping by!  I promise I'll stop vacationing soon and get back to painting.  In the meantime I've got lots to show you, and will be posting some fun pieces of furniture next week.
