RRR Ribbon Yummies & Challenge

It's time for another fun challenge at

Really Reasonable Ribbon!

It's "Anything Goes" this time around so I made 2 projects for this one. First up is a layout I made of Rachel & her friends on a fun carnival ride.

I used Sketch #4 at Artful Delight

The pretty "Helen White Chrochet Lace" that I used on the page can be found in the RRR Store.

Crochet lace can also be used on a banner title.

Our sponsor this time around is Inky Antics Rubber Stamps.



The winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to Really Reasonable Ribbon . We will also be drawing a random winner from all the entries to win a $25.00 Gift Certificate from Inky Antics 

I am not a stamper by any means so please focus on my yummy cupcake instead! (smile). I got to work with the Baking stamp set.

The seam binding ribbon can be found  here in the RRR Store. It comes in a pretty magenta color.  And if you have some fun cupcake liners & tulle lying around you should whip them out and use them as embellishments like I did.



Enjoy your weekend!

It's time for the fun Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings May Blog Hop!

If you came from Connie's sweet blog, you are in the right place. If you just happened on to the hop, you will want to start back at the beginning at RRR design team blog.

My project is a "Cookie Box" to go along with some Cookie Exchange cards that I purchased from a student of mine.

I recycled an empty box, added some patterned paper, and used the May Ribbon Club products from RRR.

You should really check out Really Reasonable Ribbon's - May Ribbon of the Month Club package. I love the chocolate brown and pink color combo in this one. This would be a great time to sign up if you aren't already.

Creative Charms Twist & A Winner!

Hello everyone!

I'm so excited about my debut today at Creative Charms!

I've got a fun twist to my layout. Instead of using a photo...I actually used a fun digital card that I made for my daughter to highlight the page. She's a Girl Scout!

The Creative Charms goodies helped the digital graphics

of the Girl Scout "POP" off the page.

If you like to make "girly" pages then you must check out these 

Creative Charms Products used on my layout:

• Dream Garden -Green Sequin Trimmed Butterfly
• Countryside Green& White Sunflower 
• Green & White Fancy Polka Dot Ribbon 

The Creative Charms Sunflowers are so fun & cute
 to use on a page!

They come in a variety of bright colors.

There's still time to get your May Deal of the Month and Kit of the Month. If you have time please visit my post today on the Creative Charms Blog! :) :)

P.S. - The winner of the surprise Creative Charms prize pack is...MELANIE at In Love with a Bug. Congratulations!!!! Please email me your address!

Terrific Twine at Really Reasonable Ribbon!

I'm so excited because it's my first reveal day as a
Designer for Really Reasonable Ribbon!

I wanted to put the spotlight on the fun &

colorful BAKER'S TWINE at Really Reasonable Ribbon!

Twine is very popular right now in the crafting world. My project today will show you a fun way to use it on your crafts.

Here are my "Twine Mini Cards"!

Keep reading for a quick & easy tutorial.

For this project you will need:
1. Kraft Cardstock
2. Various colored cardstock
3. Square Scallop Punch
4. Your favorite embellishments
5. Adhesive dots & a tape runner
5. And Baker's Twine - I used RRR Twine in Apple Green, Lemon Yellow, and Aqua Blue.

Step #1

Cut kraft cardstock into mini cards - 2-1/2" x 2-1/2"

 

Step #2

Use a square scallop punch to punch out colored cardstock.

Step #3

Run your adhesive to one side of your punched colored cardstock. This helps keep the twine in place and secured.  Wrap your RRR Baker's Twine around the cardstock.

Step #4

Use a flat adhesive dot to adhere to the front of the kraft cardstock. 

Add your favorite embellishement.

Easy Peasy Project & So Fun Too!



Be sure to visit the Really Reasonable Ribbon Shop and order your BAKER'S TWINE today!

Movie Theater Birthday Party!

We are having very UNUSUAL weather! It's been in the high 50's in Texas and I am bummed! Please God bring our warm weather back! That's why I live here! I love the warmth and the sunshine!

While I wait for the warmth I wanted to tell ya about our latest challenge at Papercraft Star.

Here are the challenge details:

Simon Says create a card or layout using a sketch you found somewhere else (i.e. in a magazine or on another blog)

I used the fun one at Sassy Lil Sketches
 I'm also linking up at Paper Issues - Party Time!

And YAY...just found out that Paper Issues featured my layout today.
How cool is that?

I also got to play with my Vintage Market Kit from Scrapbook Circle. All of the paper is from the kit. I added other fun embellies to fit with the theme.

This page is of Rachel's "movie theater" birthday party that we had some years back. She's such a movie fanatic! My fave part of the page is the fun movie embellies & DEMIN trim.



I also have a BIG obsession with American Crafts Thickers. I love to use the "sparkly ones" like these to spell out titles on my layouts.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for the challenge. The wonderful Catherine Pooler - Stampin Up! Demonstrator is our sponsor this month. Be sure to link up to PCS right HERE!



And look at this Happy Mail I got from Carri from DoubleClick Connections - AKA Abusybee. This is a Thank You card she sent me. I LOVE strawberries. This card is sooo adorable. Thanks so much Carri!
