Banners and decorative ribbons are so gorgeous to me. I just love the look they give to journals, notes, and doodles. They add depth, pizzazz, and emphasis to the page.

I like to use mine for headers in my bullet journal, but they’re great for just about anything! Use them for big poster board displays, for extra cute notes, in your planner, or for brush lettering art!
