A Banner ScrapFIT Reveal

The Workout

This is my first reveal with ScrapFIT. I'm really excited to be a part of this team since each challenge or workout is so different every time. I never know what to expect, and it gives me an opportunity to really think and utilize my creativity. This is the current challenge #49 - Put a Banner on IT! The details are as follows:

Banners of all kinds have become popular in the scrapbooking world.  They can be pre-made or hand made, big or small. You can show case your title on it or just decorate it to go with your layout.  Lets see how you showcase your banner creativity!

You can link your layout to today's post at ScrapFIT for a chance to win a prize from Perfectly Precocious Paper. Here is the prize:

The Layout

Here is my interpretation:

Go-carting in Kentucky

Dad and Lynda bought a go- cart for our two nieces and I took some pictures of the first time out. Of course, Kevin had to get the action shot of me screaming. In my defense, it was really fast and two of the wheels do come off the ground on turns.

Here are some details:

The main banners

Since the main assignment was to create a banner, I wanted to emphasize that aspect. I was thinking what else could be done with banners and I thought about racing flags. I didn't have black and white checkered paper, so I made the design on the computer and printed it out in the size I wanted. Then I cut out the individual flags. For added dimension, I popped up the longer string of flags so they would be in front of the shorter string of flags.

The racing exhaust

To interact with the title more, I used some Memory Thread to curl some smoke tendrils after the last go. Then I added some raindrop shaped metal gems for an added accent.

The errant banner that blew away and got caught

I wanted to tie in the banner theme to the top of the page so I wrapped a partial banner to the top strips. It is suppose to simulate a banner that ripped off its original site and got tangled up somewhere else.

The journaling

I used some black and white metal gems to tie in with the metal go cart and the racing flag colors.
