Something new from Butterbee Scraps

Butterbee Scraps Zibbet Online store is getting lots of

new things in these days and i jumped at the chance to get

a few of them and one of my favorites is this new 

Bronze Tibetan piece and the tag charms that are hanging from it.

A long time ago in my Costume history class my professor brought

in a beautiful Egyptian necklace that was so ornate and so beautifully

made it was something i have never forgot.  These pieces inspired 

me to make something similar and i think it would look great with

a white jacket and matching cami for summer don't you think?

Here is a closeup of the details in the necklace... I used these

things from the Butterbee shop.

J-368-B Bronze Tibetan Style Connector, M704-B Bronze Tag Charms,

CH206-B Bronze Chain, Copper Jump Rings, small rhinestone charms

and a set of bronze closures for the back.

and always you will need your best jewelry tools and a few rhinestones

to glue into the front of the piece.  It was pretty quick and easy and i think 

I will have to put together a bracelet to match maybe.

Thanks for stopping over today and have a great weekend!

Fill it up Friday

Today I am sharing something fun with a new

stamp from Quietfire Design that you can use

all your doodling skills to finish, emboss it or anything
else you can think of to fill it in with.  

and each of us did a different version that

you can see on the blog if you click here...

I opted to do mine in a old fashioned medieval way after reading 

a book filled with stories of vintage things in Venice this week.

To make my card-- layer pieces of papers that you have

distressed and inked around the edges to make the base.

For the front i used a new CWStencil and did that on the 

top with antique linen distress ink.  Then i stamped the

Thanks image with Grey Flannel Momento ink and embossed

it all with clear embossing powder.  To make it sparkle a little
I sprinkled a little vintage gold embossing powder on the top
and heated it from the back.

To fill in my T i created a cute little doodle pattern and

colored it in with distress inks in blues and pinks.

And finally i tied the front with some vintage twine and

made a cute little bow on the side.

Be sure and hop on over to the Quietfire blog and see

all the other creations the rest of them team did.

New Cardabilities sketch is up today...

Today there is a new sketch up on Cardabilites and it

is super cute.  Since it is finally springtime everywhere

I decided to use some really pretty papers from Doodlebug

that i just got.  Our sketch this time called for creating a

border across the card and adding some flowers and

a sentiment across the front which was super easy to do.

I layered the back with a few of the pretty prints in the

pack and then created a border using Spellbinders A2 Scalloped

Borders 1 die set.  The flowers are from my stash and this

was a great color scheme to pull out some of those 

leftover flowers that I had laying around my scraproom.

Here is the sketch so that you can play along this time

and be sure and check out all the other girls cards

on Cardabilities for some great inspiration!!

Thank you for taking the time to stop over and

see what's new and i hope you have fun with 

the new sketch this time :)

Hugs and Smiles.....

Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop

   

Welcome to our RRR Blog hop for May!  Today

all of us will be sharing projects that we made using

our new monthly Ribbon Club Ribbons with a

Patriotic Theme.  This is just in time to get ready for

the 4th or just to decorate for summer and all the fun

barbecues that we are all going to have!

If you have started from the beginning you should

have arrived here from Jessies' blog.....and if not i posted
the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog so you can start there.

So then lets get started with my projects....

This was such a fun project to do. The ribbons in this set have
so many cute patterns and textures i really couldn't decide what
to use so i had to make things using all of them.  So for my
first project i thought i would make a card to send out to a friend
and I thought since i love to bake I would make a matching basket
to go with it and fill with some yummy homemade cookies.
The papers I used are from Canvas Corp and i think they match
really good with the kraft paper backrounds.

There are 9 different ribbons in the set and i think they are just
so pretty and the textures are just amazing.
  you can order it here in the states or out of the country too!

Here is a close up of the gorgeous red satin ribbon that i used
to embellish the side of the card that i created and the twine that
 i used both at the top and the bottom of my card to add just the
right amount of texture to it. The anchor die
and copper metal for it are from Spellbinders.

I also couldn't resist to make up a cute banner too and i can put it
up to celebrate for the 4th.  I cut 11 squares and flagged them and
added a mat to the back.  The letters i cut on my Cricut and I tied
them all together with lots and lots of ribbons from the set.
I really love how this one came out and can't wait to put it up!
I think i might even add more ribbons just because they are so pretty.

So that's all from me and next you will be headed over to
Cherry's blog to see what amazing things she has to share...

Have a really great day :)

Dare to be you ...

I am a huge fan of Teresa Collins, she is just the 

most amazing person and i really admire her and what

she stands for....so today i am going to share a card

i made with one of her collections with the prettiest

flowers and colors in it.  Yep it's my favorite one! 

Sometimes the papers prints and colors just call out to you...

I only used the papers and a few of the embellishments

that go with it to make it and I used one of my 

stamps from Verve that i got recently.  And that's it.

It went together really quick and easy.  

Hope you all have a good week!

Bright Spring RRR Color Challenge

Today my first project is going up on the Really Reasonable Ribbon

Challenge and i have some really cute things to share but i also

 had another card that fit perfect with the color scheme 

that we used so i thought i would go ahead and share it too.

I mixed some of my favorite New dies from Spellbinders

along with some of my favorite flowers and ribbon from RRR 

and used lots of pinks and white to go with it.

The stamp is from Justrite Papercraft and i used 

a bright pink Momento Ink and embossed it to go with

the flowers in the card.  I love making things with pinks

and aqua's so this was really fun to do :)  Be sure

and stop over on the RRR blog and see the other gorgeous

things that all of us made for inspiration .

Have a really wonderful day and thanks for

stopping over to see what's new with me :)
