Old Wood Spool Decorated with Ribbon and Flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon

 Hello everyone.  Today I have a darling old thread spool decorated with Really Reasonable Ribbon and a sweet little teddy bear. Hope you enjoy my post.

On this spool I use Really Reasonable Ribbon Lace to wrap around the spool, and then glued it with hot glue. Next I started with feathers glued to the one side on top, then added some of the lace and the little bear. I then used the seam binding to create little flowers, and added pearls to the center. I also added some mulberry flowers found at Really Reasonable Ribbon. I had so much fun decorating this fun little spool.

Lastly I added more feathers , seam binding and a flower to the bottom of the spool.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies Used:
Lace
Seam Binding Baby Pink and Vivid Pink, white
Sweetheart Blossoms

other supplies
old spool from thread
little pearls beads
feathers 
filo dough bear
glue gun and glue stick

I hope you enjoyed my post for today! Thank you so much for stopping by, and for your lovely comments, as I love reading them!
Hugs to all,

Art Journal Page

Adding beautiful ribbons and lace, from Really Reasonable Ribbon, to my art journal pages give extra dimension and interest.  

I started by tearing out the page of an old book, then add clear gesso and create my artwork  so the vintage patina and words show through the artwork.

Once done, I glue the artwork into my art journal.  

I added the Tabitha Lace to the top of the page and then added bows with the Rose Crush Ribbon and Natural Burlap String.

Wishing you a creative day, dear friends.

Babies and Lace

I collect giraffes and I am always looking for cute giraffe stamps. I found a darling one in a retired Cornish Heritage Farms set by Kim Hughes, and knew exactly which trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon I wanted to pair it with.

The Angela White Crochet Lace is a beautiful trim for the smaller image and sentiment that I was using. I love ALL of the lace that Bonnie carries in the RRR Store, which you can see here. I doodled around the edge of the card, and used a Rolodex punch for the punched edge.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Let Me Share My Organizing (Lots of PICS)

How many of you are  looking for a new way to store your supplies and still have them look nice?

OK, you can put your hands down now-

I see I am not the only one always looking for NEW ideas.

I know I get tired of doing the same way and need NEW ideas.

Let me share a way to hold your Bakers Twine spools that looks pretty while being functional.

I have just started collecting   er ordering some Really Reasonable Ribbon Baker Twine spools -

 To start my project I decided to use one of those carriers that hold my honeys favorite beverages...wink wink, you know the kind I am talking about. I chose one sheet of my favorite sparkly paper and made two cuts to fit my carrier.

 A piece of heavy chip board to re-enforce the bottom using Scor-Tape so I know it will stay together.

Did you know Really Reasonable Ribbon has Scor Tape for sale?

Next I used some Gesso to cover some of the top parts I know I wouldn't cover with paper...it took a couple coats and pretty much covered what I needed covered.

 Pretend you don't see this writing- you know you can use any type card board carrier-There are many types available.
Now I knew when I used 12 x 12 paper it wouldn't cover all the sides, so this extra panel was cut from the middle of the sheet of paper I showed above. Love that I wouldn't waste any of this ONE sheet of paper.

I love the pattern of this paper and each side shows a part from the sheet. Now I had to cover the side panels so I pulled out one of my favorite laces to use -Noelle White Crochet Lace .Don't you like the way it looks all around the bottom also?

Now what project would be complete without some EXTRA glitter? You guessed it, I added some scor Tape and glitter in the handle area. Make sure you keep it in an area that won't interfere with you holding or putting in supplies.
All that was left was to decorate with some of my favorite ribbon and flowers.

 I decided to add some more lace on the handle area, this is more of the Noelle White Crochet Lace . I put eyelets in each section to use to pull Bakers Twine through.

Can you see how nicely the spools sit in each section? On the left section is the newest Sweetheart Baker's Twine check it out it is red,pink and white!!!

One last ribbon I used was this beautiful Satin Swiss Dot Pearl Pink w/Hot Pink...it came in my January Ribbon Club...

Have you signed up for the Ribbon Club? It is such an economical price for the products you receive. So this was my organizational idea for this month, hope you enjoyed and come back to see what I share next time.

For my bows I used different widths of Pink Satin.  I LOVE all the Satins that Bonnie carries.  They are sooo BEAUTIFUL and easy to work with!!  For the roses I used Hot Pink Satin.  Next I used the White Satin Double Ruffled Edge ribbon to make a border and then added some Noelle Crocheted White Lace in the middle of it.

Toilet Paper Roll Mini Album & Video

Hello everyone.  Cheryl here today with a Toilet Paper Roll Mini Album. YEP you saw correctly, I used leftover rolls from our toilet paper :) and what a perfect way to use them for a mini album. 

I decided to take pictures and show a video below so you can see all the room this lil' mini has. I also did not skimp on my ribbons and trim.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the ribbons and trims and laces that Bonnie carries over at Really Reasonable Ribbon and will link them all below for you.

Ribbons supply:

Ribbon Club (some of the silver in it)

white double ruffled edge ribbon

White Satin

Silver Metallic Crocheted Lace

Satin Silver

Pleated white

Pleated Silver there are other colors here

Seam binding light blue

Noelle White Crocheted lace

dark grey satin with silver edge

Silver Leaves

I made lots of bows and used a lot of ribbon in this mini, but I really, really had tons of fun with it.  It's the 1st toilet paper mini album I've made.  I will be making more of these.  What wonderful gifts they will make!

I added feathers, pearls, buttons and flowers in my mini. I didn't do any stamping, not sure when I will.  All the tags were cut with my cricut machine using tags, bags, boxes and more, but I'm sure you can find other tags from other sources to use in your mini album.

Hope you enjoy my YouTube video, as I had to video this in my daughters room next door to where I live....hehehehehe No craft room here yet for me. Enjoy!!! 

Hope you enjoyed today's post! I can't tell you how fun this was for me to create. I hope you find time to create one too.  Remember they are tiny so they don't take up alot of time, and they are perfect for gift giving.

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

spooky...

Love this time of year...the shades of orange against the black and white accents are just what I crave. Used a little diamond satin ribbon and lace to make this Halloween project extra special. Created a mini card and envelope that will be used as a little treat pocket. It is just amazing how a touch of ribbon and trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon can make any project complete!

oh alice...

Alice in Wonderland is one of my all time favorite movies. There is something so sweet, yet a little crazy about her adventure that always seems to draw me in. So when I saw these cards from Graphic 45 I fell in love! Went to work creating these treat bags from brown paper bags, a variety of paper, felt and of course the lovely ribbon and trims. The bright orange checkered ribbon is from this month's ribbon club, jute string in both black and orange and a touch of lace trim.Andrea

  Halloween seems just around the corner...the stores are stocked with shades of fall, my little men are continuing to think hard about costume choices and the heat here in the south is finally making it's exit. This month's Ribbon Club selection is filled with Halloween goodness to get us all started on our special homemade projects... I used the orange ribbon from this month's selection along with layers of lace trim on the bottom of the card. Brings out the vintage feel of the image and the Halloween/fall colors that I love so much. Hope this month's selection finds you in the crafting treats mood too!
