New Project - Banner

Hi All!  I have been at it again in the craft room.  I wanted to make something for a friend of mine for her birthday.  I recently attended the Stampin' Up Convention in Salt Lake City where we were shown some really cute banner projects.  Needless to say; I had to try this out for myself - so......  I decided to make a banner in a style I really like but have yet to attempt.  I must say, I am liking it!!

As always, as the creator, I can see things I would like to change or add.  But definitely a place to start..  Any suggestions you might have - would be great as well.
