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 :)

Happy Valentines Day Card

Hello Everyone and I hope that you are all having a really 

great week so far.  Today as promised I have a card that I did

this past weekend to give for Valentines.  There is a brand new die

just released from Spellbinders called Elegant Ovals and I think
that its already one of my favorites of all time to create with.

I love pinks and blacks and this was the perfect paper to match

with the elegance of the new oval dies.  The top and bottom

edges are cut and embossed with the new A-2 Scalloped Borders 2.

The set comes with 8 pieces that you can mix and match and

they are all really gorgeous and super intricate. I love that!

(The papers I used are from the Carta Bella Paris Girl 6x6 pad)

Don't you love the details in this die set, it's so pretty.

Oh and the pearls are from Want2Scrap and they are
called Baby Bling!  How cute is that :)

I hope this inspires you to start creating something

special for those in your family that you care about

and don't forget to check out the new dies on the web

out from CHA... They will be coming soon and you

can order them on the Spellbinders website too.

Dressing up my desk today...

Hi Everyone,

We are super busy creating for CHA so my post today

is something that I did some time back to fix up my desk

in my scrap room that i was redoing.

I had some things laying around but thought i would

pretty them up with papers and flowers and bits of ribbon.

It was really fun and now I can use it everyday for

my projects that I have in the making!

I made a simple folded desk calendar using the

Timeless Rectangles dies mixed with my favorite 

French Frills Die set.  The mini calendar I got online

and the beautiful roses are made with the Bitty Blossoms

die set from Spellbinders.  I love this die because it gives

you so many options to personalize your flowers for 

things that you create.  You can even mix it in the centers

of the Carnation Creation dies too.  Be imaginative and 

have fun with it and see what happens...

 For my note holder I had an old brown paper one that

I covered in pretty papers and made matching flowers

for the top of it too.  The post-it fits perfect inside of it.

And lastly my metal pencil holder needed a bit of

sprucing up so I covered it in paper too and added

a base with 2 layers of Lacey Circles dies.  Of course

I had to make some more flowers for this too and added

a pretty piece of pink ribbon to match the other pieces.

I hope you like it and will inspire you to fix up and

recycle some things you might have laying about.

Thanks so much for stopping by

and hope you have a really nice weekend!!

Oh how I love Paris

I went to my favorite scrapbook store yesterday

and picked up a few new things to play with

and one of them was the new Paris papers

by Carte Bella..  And are they ever adorable!!  

My excitement is because it goes with the 

Spellbinders New French Frills dies that were

just released at CHA. There is an Eiffel tower

and lots and lots of other cute little lacy bits to use.

I have lots of ideas for this but today I am just 

going to share a few cards I did last night.

 So... my first card is using the Spellbinders

New Decorative Labels Eight that was

just released.  I used it for a frame behind the 

sticker and added a flag behind it and then

popped it up on a pink printed Lacey Ovals die.

Don't you just love the yummy pink colors and
 how cute those little Parisian poodles are!  Me too!!

I added some tiny seed pearls around the saying

and wha la.... it's all done!  

My next card is using the Eiffel Tower die in the

 die set and a couple of the stickers from the Paris set.

I used a Spellbinders Edgeabilities to cut the

borders on the top and bottom and then used

a little piece of the border print in the 6x6 pad

to create the center.  It's easy to make by layering lots

of the cute pieces in the set and I finished it with a

cute bow and some rhinestones to match.

Love, Love, Love these papers and WTG

Samantha for creating all these gorgeous products

for us to create with!! It's beautiful and really fun!

That's all for today but be sure and check back

to see a few more fun things I am doing with

my New Spellbinders dies and lots of New

products from CHA!  Have a great weekend!

Hugs and Smiles,

Teresa
