Cherish Garland Banner

I'm having so much fun with my Expression this week!  Here is my entry for the Cricut Circle Blog Monthly Challenge.  We were asked to make a banner of any kind we like and this is what I came up with.  I have a wall in my family room that has been blank for 5 years (yikes!) except maybe for the paint job :).  Anyway, I am slowly putting up pictures on the walls so that the kids can see more current photos of themselves since I am almost 3 years behind in scrapbooking and a pretty little garland banner is just perfect for this.  BTW the picture frames here were purchased from Target last summer - they accommodate 3 pictures each with horizontal orientation.  I did a somewhat similar hanging frame to accommodate my vertical pictures which you can see here.

For this project I used a 6 ft. garland I purchased from Michaels to hold the banner pieces.  I chose a garland so that I can use it over and over and just change the banner pieces if I so chose later.  I foam mounted the butterfly border images, the circle doilies and the letters.  Each scalloped triangle base is 8.5 inches tall.

I also added doodling on the edges of the scalloped triangle pieces, then puched each two corners so that I can thread ribbons to attach each piece to the garland.  I wanted to use pretty eyelets but didn't have ones that are big enough, so I just used hole punch reinforcers (is that even what you call them LOL?) on the backs so that the paper does not tear when I put the ribbons through.
