Real quick, did you hear? Google Reader is saying goodbye come July, so find an alternative now! I hear that Feedly is a great choice (I personally haven’t looked into it yet), but here is a great article about some other sites to use as well.
I’m so excited to share this with you today! This is a project that I designed. I had the help of The Wood Connection to provide me with the wood, I just took in some drawings of the shapes that I wanted and they cut them out! I love this line of paper from Echo Park and I knew it would be the perfect paper to use on this project.
For the board, I started by painting the edges gray, and then painting the whole board white. Once all my paint was dry, I distressed the edges using some fine sandpaper, revealing the gray paint.
I love the shape of this board, it adds just the right touch to the banner.
On the wood banner pieces after I glued the paper down, I used a gray ink pad to color the edges.
I cut the letters and flowers out, using my Cricut. The font I used is Cherry Limeade. It is one of my new very favorite fonts! I used dimension squares to adhere the letters, and then I used glue dots to put the flowers on.
Once I had all the banner pieces put together, I used gray and white bakers twine to string the pieces. Then I just used some masking tape and taped the banner strings to the back of the board.
So what do you think?! I love having this up in my house for Spring time! I love the color that it brings in!
Have you decorated for Spring yet?
I love the look of this! Those banners are just great and the colors too! Well done!

The colors of this are so lovely, and you’re right, the shape of the board really is a nice touch. Now if only it would just start feeling like spring!
I LOVE this!!! I love to decorate for each holiday or season and this would look great on my fireplace mantle!
What a nice idea. We live in a senior development and this banner will bring a smile to so many people. I think I will also use the same idea for the different celebrations we have yearly. It will be a favorite of mine as I am always looking for something new to add to our decorations.
Amy, What a great project. So much fun. I would love for you to share at my Tasty Thursdays linky party going on right now. Thanks, Nichi – The Mandatory Mooch
