So many baby shower invitations are now asking for a book instead of a card. I used this inspiration to create a fairy tale themed baby shower banner. I think this is a great way to save money on a banner you will use once, and an easy way to customize the design of the banner since you are making it yourself.

 

 

First you will need a book that you don't mind cutting the pages out of. I bought this fairy tale book for $2 at a thrift store.

 

 

 

 

Find a cute story and cut triangles from the pages. Another good idea would be to use the illustrations from the book.

 

 

I painted the letters I wanted onto each triangle. After they dried, I hot glued ribbon to the back of each triangle so I could hang the banner on the frame I made.

 

 

 

Poetry and literature have inspired many of my designs. Check out a few here:

Guest Bedroom Reveal: No Longer Sad Plaid!

Well before Thanksgiving I was picking out the paint colors for our guest bedroom. As winter is ending, we FINALLY have the paint up on the walls.

Before

 

During



After



The lighter blue is called Grey Sky by Benjamin Moore and the dark blue is Polo Blue also by Benjamin Moore.

 

 I use their Natura Line because there is no odor when painting.

If you have seen my fireplace makeover, that blue is called Gentleman’s Grey. Polo Blue is just one shade darker. The deep blue shade is beautiful and the lighter blue on the other walls makes the room still feel as big as it is.

Both colors side by side.

 

On to the basement and the 2^nd guest bedroom. We’re thinking green!
