Let's celebrate today! Did you catch the "Google Doodles" video to celebrate International Women's Day? You can see it in the re-tweet I shared above! Wishing a wonderful day to all the women across the globe reading this post!
And now for a paper project...
According to my daughter Brooklyn, we should leave the celebrate banner from the Celebration Basics kit up at our house all year, "so we can celebrate everything." Honestly, I'm completely game for this idea! I just love this banner and it is plenty sturdy for this!
Given that we will be keeping it up, here are the banner themes you'll see the next several months:
- March - St. Patrick's Day
- April - Easter
- May - Birthday (this is Britt's birthday month)
- June - Summer
- July - Independence Day
Here's the detail of the tassels that I created for our St. Patrick's Day banner:
The tassels consist of approximately 1" x 16" strips of fabric, 16" cuts from ribbon, and a Very Vintage Designer Button. The fabric strips were spritzed to take on the Old Olive hue -- this was a great way to re-purpose an old pillow case! Here's a look at the creation of the tassels:
By the way, I am a huge fan of the Crayola Washable Markers for the girls! For all my crafting projects I exclusively use Stampin' Write Markers.
I think the Very Vintage Designer Button looks so fun on here! It was tied on with a small piece of Summer Starfruit Baker's Twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack. I divided the twine as it was a little thick on its own for threading easily through the button.
The little "meatballs" above the banner? Those come from the Heartfelt Banner Kit (a Sale-a-bration exclusive) and are the sweetest little felt balls. The girls prefer to have them in their kitchen than hanging on display!
I'll be sharing the banner over on the Catherine and Cathy Create Challenge -- they are looking for St. Patrick's Day projects and this is likely the last one you'll be seeing on Peonies and Paper Chains...at least for this year!

Hope you have something enjoyable in the works for the weekend! Happy Day!
