For my card and ornament i chose the new set of stamps called "Flourished Ornaments".  This is such a beautiful set and there is so much that you can do with it i think.  It comes with the calligraphy ornament and 3 different inserts, Peace, Love and Joy.  And each is a beautiful masterpiece done by Suzanne Cannon's own hand.  I love that she can create such amazing designs and there are lots more that we are going to share with you this week so don't forget to check back tomorrow. My papers for this card are from Basic Grey... I really love the colors for it.

I also made a quick ornament that you can do with your kids as a family holiday time project.  I just stamped the image and then added glitter to fill in the ribbon space at the top and cut it out.  Then i cut 2 of the ovals and added a small dot of glitter and then glued in the ornament.  And then just tie

a gold ribbon on the top and you are done.  You could even fill in the ball with a color if you like.

Thanks so much for joining us and hopping along today :)

RRR Blog Hop- Crazy for Christmas

Hi Everyone and welcome to the October Blog hop with RRR.  We have a

fun hop for you this month to get started on Christmas with our new ribbon

assortment called "Crazy for Christmas".  It's gorgeous and there are so many pretty

 ribbons you are going to have lots of fun this year making special homemade things

 for your family and friends to give and decorate....  

So if you started the hop at the beginning you would be arriving here from

Karen's blog....  and---- i guess it's time to get started then :)

This project is for me to give to my niece this year so that she can count down the days 

until Christmas.  She is almost 3 years old and i think she will have fun and make it

really exciting for her.  For my papers i started with Basic Grey's Christmas line to make

a simple layered base for the back and added ribbon to make bands across 

the front and ribbon bows in green for the top to decorate it more.  Ribbon always seems
to make the project that much better doesn't it? And the colors this time are so bright
and cheerful and matched so many of the papers i had it was super easy to make this.

For the stickers i found this Santa at Hobby Lobby and the wood veneer letters

are from Ruby Rock-it.  There were lots so it was simple to write out the whole message.

And here is a closeup of the bows that i did for the top.  I mixed two greens for it.

The bottom is the green satin and the top is a mixed sheer in green.

And now it's time for you to hop on to the next designer... Jenn

Thanks so much as always for stopping over and i always appreciate
the nice comments you leave and your love of ribbon like me!!

Have a really wonderful day :)

Craft Hoarders Blog Hop for October

It's time again for the Craft Hoarders to share lots of projects with an anything goes theme

this month.  Each of us has created something special from all those crafty things we
have in our stashes to give you a little inspiration to create something for yourself.
Today i have a really fun project i made for me.  It's a Starbucks recipe book
with cards from all my friends and their favorite drinks and goodies they like to eat.
I have gone in so many times and listened to their orders but i can't remember
a single one... so an idea was born.

 

  

I used the Barista paper line from Basic Grey and it was perfect for this project.
The stickers had fun little coffee images and i filled the other in with some
letter stickers from Ruby Rock-it and bits of their Wood Veneers
with words on them.  So over the moon excited about this!!

Each of the pages is different and has places to slide the recipe cards in for
the coffee and tea ideas and some yummy goodies to bake to go with them.

The tiny letters were some of my favorite things to use and are from
Ruby Rock-it.  They have lots of sizes in each pack and are the perfect
size to use for cards and other fun things like this book.

 My Supply List is:
Pine Cone Press Calendar, Basic Grey Barista 6x6 pad and stickers, brads; Ruby Rock-it
Alpha Stickers and Wood Veneers; Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares and E-Z Dots
permanent tape; Really Reasonable Ribbons seam binding and twine; scissors, paper
trimmer and other little goodies i found tucked away :)

So if you are here and haven't started the hop you are going to go back to Gloria's
blog and then hop along with the other's list below.  Have fun and enjoy...

Fun little Halloween Banner from CS

Happy Tuesday and thank you for taking the time to stop over.  I am getting in the mood

here for Halloween and fall since we finally changed seasons and i made up another

cute little banner to decorate the house.  

It's always hard to get a good photo so i did a few closeups too so you can

see all the cute papers and other goodies that i used for it.  I mixed lots of 

Halloween prints and colors to match the little pictures and lots of ribbons

to tie on the tulle that i laced it with.  I wanted to make something bright

and different and i really like the way this came out.

All of it was done with the Halloween CD #4 from Crafty Secrets and i used
a few dies to cut the papers to give it a little more pizazz!!  The cute little images
are from the CS Creative Scraps that i cut apart.  Then i added lots of cute ribbons
from Really Reasonable Ribbons new halloween set and that was it.  I hung it
it up by the door with lots of other fun goodies to be ready for trick or treaters.

Hope you have fun making something for your house too and thanks
so much for stopping by... have a wonderful day :)

Crafty Secrets Blog Hop for September

Hi Everyone and thanks so much for stopping over today to see what

is new with Crafty Secrets this month.  Our theme is "Too Cute to Spook" and

we have lots of fun projects to decorate and celebrate Halloween to inspire you.

For my pocket card today i used a really fun paper doll image from the
Creating with Vintage CD #4.  It has so many cute papers and tags and
other fun goodies in it to print out. I used 4 of the printed papers for the outside
and to create the inside pocket.  And i printed up a page of the Halloween
bingo cards so i could use this cute one for my sentiment.  The die i cut
out of printed orange dot paper from the Cd and layered them on the front.
And i finished it with the cutest little paper doll witch i have ever seen.

The cute little image has 2 other outfits on the page that you can print
 and i cut both of them out and put them in the pocket with a gift card
 for ice cream.  The ribbons area both from Really Reasonable Ribbon.com.

Be sure and check out the website for more photos and ideas with this
fun CD and if you are just starting the hop be sure and go to all the
other girls to see what they created for you too.

Have a really wonderful holiday... Teresa

A Sewers tribute to Grandma

Grandmas are always special to the members of their families and when we lose them

so many pictures and stories come out and are shared with family and we remember

all the good times with them.  My husbands grandmother was a gem.  She was so sweet

in everything she did in her life and i am so very sad that she is in heaven now
 but she lived 100 amazing years and had so much to give and share
with us so i am sharing one of many pages that i did of her through the years.

I am going to have to play with the colors on the photos more, these are the ones

that they had up on display but i wanted to share the cute papers that they had to use.

I was lucky enough to get her button box, thimble and measuring tape and for 

that i am so thankful because like all of us she was a crafter and i love what she

made for us all through the years.  She was the best and had such a good heart.

And since there were so many cute things to print i did alot of

the patterns and prints in the "Sew Decorative CD"  The colors were

so pretty and bright and cheerful and they all came out great when i

printed them up.  I used the printed ruler paper for the card above and

mixed it with one of the digital images and aqua paper that matched.

And just for a bit of nostalgia i cut them with a few of my favorite

Victorian dies that they just released this year from Spellbinders.

And for the bag above i have a friend who sews alot like me and we

actually met working at Leah's fabric gallery.  So i thought this would

be fun to make up so i can give her a fun gift card for the quilt store

and maybe some candies.  I really love the colors on this one.....

And this card is a little mixture of alot of things.  I tend to keep all the

bits and pieces of papers so i can use them again and this cute little 

postcard that i printed out went great with papers printed off of the 

"Topography CD".  And i didn't want to lose that pretty rose so i

punched a couple of holes across the card and tied the ribbon on the

side so that i can keep all that gorgeous postcard showing.  All the 

ribbons i used are from "Really Reasonable Ribbon.com".

And lastly .... i know i have lots to share from "Crafty Secrets" today, I 

have a cute little card that i made from the same postcard sheet above 

but i thought i would fussy cut the design out instead and mat it with

a pretty die cut and add some ribbons.  The pink printed paper is also 

the same as the sewing card but a different color and it works so good

on this card.  For the sentiment i used some letters from my stash and

you could also use a clear adhesive sentiment in there too if you want.

Just a few fun ideas for you today.  But head on over to the Crafty Secrets 

website and see what's new for downloads this month and have fun

creating your own cards and gifts to give too.

Have a wonderful and crafty day....Teresa

Lovin the RV Life...

I think its so fun to make something special for someone and when you find

that perfect paper or picture to do it, the whole thing turns out wonderful.  I 

found a really cute RV photo in the Summertime Vintage Booklet.  I loved that

adorable couple with the vintage RV and i new i had to make a cute

decoration for a friends remodel project. 

For my project i just used the top photos in the journal booklet

of the Guide to paridise and the RV photo.  I mixed them with some

papers that i printed from the Vintage Patterns CD and cut the edges

with a border punch i had in my stash.  The doilies are from Spellbinders

and the flowers and ribbon are from Really Reasonable Ribbon.com.

And the chipboard heart you can see here with lots of other fun things

that you can use to make pretty home decor for your house too.  I traced the

heart on kraft paper and cut that out and then sanded the edges of the heart

and then inked all around it.  I think it makes the photos pop really nice!

That's all for today and thanks for stopping over.  If you ever have

a question about something be sure and leave me a comment and i 

would be happy to try and answer it for you... Have a great day!

Sizzlin Summer with RRR

This is such the perfect name for a challenge... especially with the amazing color

choices in the new Ribbon Club samples this month.  There are so many pretty

bright colors in it and i had so much fun creating my card.

If you didn't have a chance to check out the blog hop this month be sure and 

go back to here to see the other half of what i created.  This card was also part 

of the new papers from Doodlebug and the pink and orange ribbons from 

the Ribbon Club Assortment really went great with it.  I just went super simple

 this time and layered all the pretty papers and matted them with white 

between the colors.  The tag is also in the paper set and you get a few more 

to use with it too that would be just adorable.

I also did a quick invite with a piece of flip flop paper that i had.  I fussy 

cut around it and glued it to regular cardstock and then added that cute

 little bow and a flower.  It was super easy and just goes to show ribbons

 really make the project :) 

Thanks for stopping over and be sure and check out all the other ideas

this month for our challenge and be sure and hook up what you did to

share with all of us on the RRR Challenge blog... Have a great day!!

It's time for the RRR Blog hop for June

Hi everyone and happy Saturday to all of you.... it's time for another fun hop

with all the girls from the RRR design team and this month we are creating

our projects for you with a Summer Brights theme.

Since the weather is getting warmer and we can get our barbecue's out I 

decided to go with fun decorations that you could do for a luau.

If you started the hop at the beginning you should have come here
by way of the amazing Karen Letchworth ....

This was alot of fun with all these beautiful bright ribbons and i created a fun invite,
table name tags, sunshine drink glasses, crabby straws and some cute little flip flops
for the kids. All the ribbons are from the new Monthly Ribbon Club Assortment and
the papers that i used are from Doodlebugs new summer line called Sunkissed.

The dies for this are from the Spellbinders Inspire dies.  I used the Crabby die,
the Paradise Palms and the Western Sunshine die sets.

And for this cute little crabby card with the jute string tie i used another
Spellbinders die called Labels 22.  All these colors really make you want to smile :)
Now i guess i will have to schedule in a fun barbecue to use all of it.

And now it's time to hope again to Jenn's blog to see what magic
she has created for all of you....

New Graphic 45 Halloween

 I love all the new papers in the new Graphic 45 Eerie Tale set this

 season. The colors are so pretty and the prints and tags and such are 

really fun to work with.  Today i have a card and some mini treat bags 

that i made up to be ready for this year and a few other goodies i had.

To make my card i used one of the tags in the set and cut it out

and layered it with some of the spider web paper and some orange,

black and cardboard that i rolled and sanded a bit.  The ribbons

are from Really Reasonable Ribbon Halloween set and it all

matched so good with the papers and really made my projects pop.

  

The mini bags i picked up at Hobby Lobby and the tags are also

from the G45 Halloween tags paper.  I just glued on some matching

papers to the fronts of each of the bags and then added these 

funny little adhesive embellishments and then splattered it all with a 

paintbrush diluted with water and black paint.  Really fun :)

Here is a couple of shots of just the bags so that

you can see the tags and stuff on them.  Arent' they cute?

That's it for today, sorry it's short... i am so very busy with 

classes up at the Yap and other fun DT assignments so hope you

all have a really great day!!   Teresa

RRR Challenge*** Anything with Wings

This was such a fun RRR challenge to do this time and since i love doing 

projects with butterflies and they have wings- this was super easy to do.  

I had this Hero Arts stamp set that i had used in one of my classes

this last month and thought that it would be perfect to make up

this fun card to give out for a birthday.  I used papers from Glitz

that already had the bleeding colors and i thought it would be great

to add a little texture to it too.  The butterflies are embossed with black

and are colored with Copic markers to match.  The twine is from RRR.

For both of my sets of tags i used some premade bases

that i picked up at my local hobby store and then added

lots of embellishments to decorate them.  It was super

fun and easy to do and it gave me a chance to use some

of the leftover papers that i had and lots of ribbons

and flowers of course :)

The flowers that i used are WOC roses in pink, lt. blue and ivory and of
course i used lots of bias ribbon, satin and the krinkle ribbons.

The challenge link is here on the blog and we would love to see what 

you can do and you can win lots of beautiful ribbons and things 

so why not right? Thanks for stopping and be sure and check out the other

projects up on the RRR challenge blog today. They are really gorgeous!!

Hi Everyone and welcome to our blog hop for July!!

ribbons.  The colors are just scrumptous and it was really fun

to create my projects to share with you with them.

other gals so far today......

Today i am sharing fun ways to decorate treat bags and
boxes with the ribbons from the summer set.

I love to bake all kinds of things and give it away to family and
co workers so first up i decorated this bag with stamped images
from Justrite stamps and used the silver edged satin ribbon to
tie a really pretty bow on the side.

The bags i did with the polka dot kraft ones that you can
get online here.  There is lots of them and you can top them
in lots of different ways and ties lots of pretty ribbons on them!!

It's our June Really Reasonable Ribbon Hop today...

Welcome everyone to our Really Reasonable Ribbon Hop 

for June :)  I am really excited to share the beautiful set of Ribbons this 

month for the hop with all of you. It's filled with yummy summer colors 

and lots of really cute printed ribbons to use too!!  You get 9 gorgeous
ribbons in the set and i used alot but still have so much
to use for other projects!!  

So if you have been following the hop you should be coming
from Bonnie's blog.... which was absolutely gorgeous i must say...

So for my project today i want to share a chalk board

easel that i picked up from my local hobby store and

made into a cute picture holder for my nephew and his 

brand new bride!  It was fun adding the beautiful roses

to match the ribbons and lots of other fun details.

To make my project you will need papers from the Carte Bella

Paris girl paper pad and then cut them in strips to go across the 

bottom and the top of the chalkboard.  I even layered a row of

lace to make it pretty like her dress was for that day.

On the top I put a cluster of the large pink WOC 

Wild Roses mixed with the light pink Cottage Roses with ribbons 

from the June assortment available this month.

They are: Vanessa Crochet Lace, Four Satin Stripes Ribbon in

white and the Diamond Satin  in charcoal. 

I also used some bling from Want2 Scrap and stamps from

the Simple Stories DIY set.  It was perfect to stamp and make

my title with Remember Today which i am sure they will for

the rest of their lives.  I can't wait to make up a few more things

for them and send it off.  Thanks so much for hopping with

us and your next hop will be to Cherry's blog...

Have fun and i hope you get inspired with lots of

ideas to use the new ribbons with :)

Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge

Today we have a new challenge up on the

Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog with a masculine

theme.  You can create anything you want to share with us that
you made and wow you should see what neat projects

our team is sharing.  It was really fun! 

For my project I upcycled an old leather wallet box

that i had saved and made a desk photo flip book

for my husband to put some of our National Park

travel photos in.  That way he can look at them and

think of new far off places to take me in the future!! 

I used Bazzill Basics papers, acetate, chipboard and ribbon 

from last months ribbon club set and some twine and jute from 

the RRR store... It was really quick and fun to make and

the papers really make it masculine looking.... Be sure

and pop over and check out the other projects when

you get a chance and don't forget to join us.

Hope you have a wonderful day... we are off to Disneyland

to spend the day so it should be really fun!!
