Happy Birthday Banner

A few months ago I got these awesome Teresa Collins birthday papers. I loved the primary colors, and with several family birthdays coming up thought it would be fun to make something with them. I had a few extras from the August Scarlet Lime Frugal FAB kit, too. Well, I didn't get this banner done until after the birthdays were over, but I did manage to make this for a friend's birthday. I'm going to make a duplicate to hang in our house for birthdays (we still have two more this year). 


I added the scallop banner from some October Afternoon paper and an AC sticker.
The baker's twine can be found in DKMDiva's shop on Etsy.

October was the month of banners for me! And just when I thought my banner-making days were over, one of the October Hip Kit DT assignments is to make a banner! (LOL)

Actually, I really enjoy making them and am thinking of doing some for the school craft fair in December. But I'm not really sure how people will receive them. Would you buy something like this? What kind of price would you pay? Please share your opinion (I won't be offended by any-- I promise!).

USA friends, remember to VOTE TODAY!

Your banners are great. I think people would buy them - birthday, valentine's, etc. I'm not sure about price - I'd check on etsy to see what they go for there.
