My First Pennant Banner

I've said it once, and I'll say it again: " I am no scrapbooker." In fact, the thought of paper crafts overwhelms and scares me a bit. This may come as a surprise to some because of the giant crate of scrapbook paper I have in my arsenal of craft supplies, but 'tis true. So, when I decided to make my first paper banner, I found the task a bit, well, daunting...

I started making one back in November for Thanksgiving with my friend, Jamie. She had made a few before and they turned out just amazing! But, when the business of the holidays kept us from getting together, I never finished mine. THEN, I kept seeing some more fabulous pennant banners online and out in BlogVille. I HAD to make one! (and finish it...)

So, I pulled out some paper I had, and after spending hours in Hobby Lobby and Michael's trying to coordinate this and that, (and probably over thinking the whole thing), I came up with this:

What do you think?
