Altered Baby Frame With Ribbon

Well Hello there!  How are you doing today? Great to see you here. Today I have a fun altered frame to share with you.I used so many Really Reasonable Ribbons and I couldn't be more delighted.

This is my finished project but you really can't appreciate it till you see how it started and what I added.

Oh yea, this is the baby frame I picked up during one of my junking trips.Cute? sure it is but really not my style at all.
Let me share how I changed this $1.00 find into a treasure.

 The frame was pulled apart and each of the inside pieces were traced on the back of new papers and fussy cut out to put new clothes in my frame. The yellow isn't horrible on the frame but I wanted to tone down just a little. Decided to add a Brown Organza ribbon around the entire outside of the frame.I know you can see the Scor-Tape but you will see what I do to take care of that. I wanted to make sure my ribbon stays where I put it.

Don't these papers look better already? Bet you see one of my favorite laces? Well no altered project would be complete without some beautiful Amelia White Crochet Lace .

Well now I needed to finish off the outside of the frame and cover up my Scor-Tape under the sheer ribbon.
This Gingham Yellow 3/8 Inch  is just perfect and also to add bows in the inside on the hangars.

 So let me share it all put together, I just love the Gingham Yellow 3/8 Inch ribbon especially the bow on the top.

I just popped a few pictures of my oldest daughter when she was a baby. She will love that I am once again sharing pictures of her...lol


Good Luck to everyone - I am looking forward to seeing the new team announced
Thanks for checking out my projects and always leaving such kind and appreciated comments.

Black & White Theme

Isn't this a beauty? I love how this simple clean and simple design came together because I added. 1" Satin with Grosgrain Edge Moss .

Our challenge this time is Black & White and one other color
I love this beautiful satin ribbon and loved how it added just the right touch to my design.My image is a Marah Jonhson  Enchanted from Unity stamps.
The paper is from Glitz Designs and the die shape is from Cheery Lynn French Flair Classic - LG Silver Stackers.

Sometimes all you need is the perfect ribbon to make a simple card Beautiful!

The perfect bow always looks great when I use my favorite tool

Would love to have you join us at Really Reasonable Ribbon this time -you have a couple weeks to enter and you could be our winner, wouldn't you love to choose some new ribbons?

Ribbon,Roses,and Red

Today I have a quick altered project I did with some Really Reasonable Ribbon and lace.
While out shopping at a second hand store I found this album with page inserts.There was just a red quilted cover-much to plain for my liking.

There is one of my favorite laces Noelle White Crochet Lace and added a border to the front and the spine.
White Silk was perfect for me to add to the two covers and tie a bow-there are eyelets on each cover.
I just knotted one end and pulled through each eyelet.

Wanted to share a close up of the ribbon and grouping of Prima flowers and leaves.

Can you see the red pieces there? Guess what those are? The brads are from Lost and Found line.

I had those vintage earrings that just seemed to work with my design.and a Prima swirl finished it off.

So the next time you are shopping don't pass up those vintage books or items-you can use so many ribbons and laces to dress any item.

Beauties In Orange

Hello Everyone,
Today I have two  cards almost the same-I used the same Beautiful Orange crinkle ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

 This is card # one with a key added to the Orange Crinkle Ribbon and a Martha Stewart punch was used for the inside.

 This is card # two with the same rich orange crinkle ribbon- I added a butterfly brad to the ribbon for an accent. Did you know that there are many colors and widths available? You will love the selection!

If you would like more details, there is more on my post on my blog.
Thanks

Looking Good In Green

Hello,
How are you doing today? Did you have a great weekend?

Wanted to share a cute project I made for a friend today Now I knew I wanted to do this project for Really Reasonable Ribbon and have such a supply of ribbon that I haven't even used.
I grabbed my ribbon assortment from last month with all the fun greens.

No Sewing Involved

A cute little bag to give to a friend for St Paddy's Day!

See I only used a couple snips for my ribbon hop project last month,and I added a smaller canvas bag that was in my supplies.

 Started by measuring and making lite marks near the bottom and about half way to the top. I made these marks wide enough to layer the ribbons in my set.

My hot glue gun came out and I started working small sections at a time. I just used my fingers to scrunch the ribbon as I added the row.

 Here you can see I have a few layers started. I made sure to add extra glue near the ends to keep the ribbon  from pulling off

See how each layer looks a little different, and can be spaced to your liking. You never see the lines after you put the glue and ribbon so it really served its purpose to keep my lines pretty straight.

 Wanted to share a close up of the finished rows and how I added 1/4" White Satin.

It really finished off the rows, and also to the top of the tote and worked to add a couple bows.
Just wanted to share  how easy this project is to make and fun to use so many different types of ribbons and have a gift on hand for those special people in your life.
Are you a Ribbon of the Month subscriber? It is such a great way to try many ribbons and have a great assortment.

Shall We Have Tea?

Won't you come in, sit down and have a cup of tea with me today?

Won't you check out my altered idea using Really Reasonable ribbon supplies

I have been on a search for some time to find tea cups and saucers to use for some projects.This is my cup I was fortunate enough to find two of these sets.

These are the products I used:

1" Satin with Grosgrain Edge Moss

 Amelia White Crochet Lace 

I used another single Satin that came in a set or was in clearance

Was this what you were expecting?

I LOVE,LOVE pin cushions and vintage items to have to display in my craft cave.

 Here is another view with some of the pieces I used.

 I love the vintage velvet I had in my sewing supplies and pearl pins from Pizzazz Aplenty.

I made leaves out of card stock and a Heartfelt Creations die cut. Pearl centers from SA Crafters.

I hope you enjoyed your visit ,I know I enjoyed sharing.

Storage Idea

I am so thrilled to be able to share my latest storage idea using Really Reasonable Ribbon products.

This is a very plain plastic type wood box I got from a friend that was tossing it out. Well you know I couldn't let that happen.

 The front view decorated-I still think I will spray paint the basket insert white.This trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon Noelle White Crochet Lace is one of my favorite and worked so well for my box.

Some of the embellishments I used on the ends.

 This is the top side-I used some of my favorite paper from LAST MONTHS PROJECT Lost & Found

Here is one side view

This is the other side view

So now my biggest decision is what I will put inside-I am thinking ribbon rolls!
