Hello SCT friends, Emily here this week with your Designer Challenge! As I write this, our Facebook page is just digits away from reaching 10000 Likes! It's so exciting to see all the love that scrapbookers have for SCT! Watching the numbers steadily climb makes me want to bite my nails, it's a little like we're watching a cliff hanger, which got me to thinking about the challenge for this week.
How about you do a page or card where you HANG something on your page. Banners have been a big thing for the last couple of years and I've resisted them in the plain, flat printed variety. But I have fallen in love with making my own 3D kinds, there are so many possibilities!
This layout has lots of things hanging from it: the Maya Road chipboard flags, the Jillibean Soup paper doilies and hearts, the Maya Road hangers (they even have Maya Road tickets hanging from them as well!), I also hung the picture of my husband from the rope using a Making Memories Clip. I find this kind of banner really fun to create.
So go ahead this week and make a banner to hang things from, or get really creative and try your hand at some other way to hang an element from your page or card. Have fun with it, that's the only solid stipulation. And hang on, we're almost to 10000! If you take this challenge, which we hope you do, be sure to link your project back to this post so that can all appreciate it!

Great banner. Looks cool, although my DH would not like me to put his picture on one.

Great banner!
Hmmm ... I'm not much of a banner person, so I will have to see if I can come up with a creative way to hang something on a card! Hmmmm ... Going to try! ;o)

I know I have "hangy" things in my collections! I love your layout because of the 3D effect!! Real things just look so much better than just pictures of things! Makes me want to create now!!
