A Theme for Thursday - {banners}

I said last week that I planned to choose a theme

that would somewhat dictate what projects I would work on,

but the theme for the week just seemed to come unplanned.

I showed you this spur-of-the-moment banner I made for my family photo shoot.

And I had already made this bunting from some antique pages.
It's available HERE.

Then, I had a request by a customer to create a word banner

for a baby shower.   While batting around ideas with her, I found these adorable

1940's pages from a Golden Book child's dictionary.
I looked through my shelves of books and found covers
with colors that complimented the pages perfectly.

She decided on different pages with neutral colors,

but I was so in love with these colors, I decided to make it anyway.

I love the old-fashioned illustrations and muted primary colors.

 I added clips to each book cover, so it can be used
to hold a child's photo or artwork.  Notice the little butterfly that
landed on the chair and stayed there the whole time I was taking photos!
This banner is for sale HERE.

Here's the banner I finished for my customer.  The words say, "my son" in Portuguese.
She also asked that I include vintage buttons on the banner.

 The large letters and sweet illustrations made these pages
perfect for a banner, but some letters that were needed were on
both sides of the same pages, so we decided to use old book pages
to stencil the needed letters on.

I came across a Little Red Riding Hood book while looking for 

pages and thought they were precious too, and I was on a roll,

so they became a banner also, which is available HERE.

 I can't resist a story that starts with "Once upon a time...", can you?

 

The illustrations have such a wholesome charm and the colors are really vivid.

I couldn't stop there when I remembered I had vintage

price tags (you can print your own HERE), so I 

chained them together on some cotton twill tape.

This banner is available HERE.

Well, I hope you are having a banner day!

I'm busy working on projects
for the theme I'll show you next week.

Blessings,

Angie
