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.

A Little Touch of Spring

We have had some unseasonably lovely Spring weather in the midst of Winter, and I am loving it! So much so that it prompted me to veer way from the winter and valentine colors for a day and design something with a bit of a Spring feel.

My image is Flourish 30-09 from Rubbernecker Stamps. The designer paper is by Memory Box, and the punch is a Martha Stewart border punch. I used Spellbinders dies for my frames, and Pearl Pearls from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store. Did you know Bonnie sells TWELVE different colors of beautiful Kaiser pearls? They are my favorites!

There are so many beautiful satin ribbons at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store and I love every color! This Pastel Green with a grosgrain edge is a beautiful color for all of your light, spring projects. It makes beautiful bows and is so easy to tie!

If you want some bow-tying help, then order a Bow Easy from the RRR Store! It makes seven different sizes of bows, and comes with instructions and video links to help you make a beautiful, perfect bow every time!

Do You Remember Weaving As A Child?

Well of course you remember doing this simple basket weave with paper when you were little?

I just decided to do a  project with ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon of course. I finished a mini album and wanted a special cover to make it pretty.

 Isn't this so soft and delicate looking?

I used the following ribbons

 1" Satin with Grosgrain Edge Pink

 3/8" White Satin

 After weaving and fitting to the cover I adorned with a yummy double bow I made with my favorite

Loved accenting with those pearls and one small and sparkly flower.

Here is an angled view of the accordion album.

If you would like to see all the inside-there is more pictures available on my blog.

Thanks for stopping

classic white...

School has begun here and back to daily uniforms for my little men. Each day they choose from red, green, blue or white polo shirts and shorts. My favorite, if I had to choose...the classic white polo shirt. There is something about those shirts that make me want to buy out the store and keep a stock pile at home. Sure...they don't stay that way for long (although thank goodness for stain lifters!). To me, it is worth the five dollars that goes into each one. So as I send them off today, keeping my fingers crossed no finger painting takes place during this school day, I wanted to play with a few white trims and ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon on my project.The white satin ribbon stands out amongst the other colors so brilliantly. Added a little white lace and light blue pom pom trim.

new arrival...

I love bringing soft colors together to celebrate the new arrival of a baby...Ribbon used: spring green diamond satin, satin (1") ivory and white, natural jute string, pink organza, and all images from Paper Fashions Etc.

for the love of...

Following a recent vacation to the NW, I came across many wonderful vintage shops that have continued to inspire me. In these tags above I have attempted to bring a little of that vintage, shabby chic feel through a mix of color and trims. This 1" satin with grosgrain edge ivory ribbon is both soft and light...just beautiful. Also, the beatrice white crochet lace trim is perfect and find that you can usually find a place for it on most projects. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday filled with color and inspiration to get your week started!

Fun in the Summer - Fancy Flip Flops!

Hello! Well it is officially Summer and it is my turn to share with you a fun Summery/Picnic project! Fancy flip flops are all the rage right now...so I thought I would give decorating some a try! I bought these purple flip flops for $2, and the red and white stripped flip flops at the $1 spot at Target. While they are a fine the way they were, I just had to add some ribbon to dress them up a bit for my DD!! :)



For the Purple ones, I have added some light blue satin ribbon around the straps. for the center, I added some Grape Satin with Flowers in the center and then placed a little butterfly button over that! So super simple, but they went from plain purple to "Oh mom! I love them!!" :)




The 4th of July flip flops were created with ribbons from this month's Ribbon Club assortment - the Red and Blue Diamond Satin Ribbons! I added the flag button in the center with some stretchy cord, so they can be easily removed, so that after the 4th, I can add an adorable lady bug button instead! :)

Thanks so much for visiting today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Gathered Ribbon Tutorial!!

Hello, it's Connie!! I have a super simple ribbon tutorial for you today - a Gathered Ribbon Tutorial!

To make the gathered ribbon, you will need some double sided sticky tape. Here I am using 3/4" scor-tape, and some 1" Spring Green Satin Ribbon with a Grosgrain edge.



Tear off a piece of tape the length that you need, and start adhering the ribbon to the tape in a random gathered line.



Here you can see the back of the ribbon once you are finished.



Here is what your final outcome will look like!



See! Told you it was super easy!

Now onto the rest of the deets of my card! The image is from Kitchen Sink Stamps Multi Step Tulip Garden image. I stamped the image with the following steps: Step 1: So Saffron, Step 2: Apricot Appeal, Step 3: Pumpkin Pie, Step 4: Tangerine Tango. The green was stamped with Old olive.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great week!
