Ready for Christmas?

Are You Getting in the Christmas Mood?
Well, if you are and even if you're not, I'm sure RRR has something wonderful to inspire you! I got a bunch of the assortments in all the beautiful Christmas colors and used some of them on this page with some Kaisercraft papers. Whatever you have planned I'm sure you will find the perfect ribbon and trim.
This is a picture of me with my Dad in the early 1960's. He made this little table and chair set for me for Santa Clause to bring!!! This is one of my all time favorite pics!!!


On the smaller bow I only used the gold sheer ribbon and a little baker's twine. I misted the page in several places as well.

On this larger bow, I layered the gold sheer with the green glitz ribbon and added a small baker's twine bow on top. You can see the multi color embossing I did on the chipboard frame too. It just makes it all look "sparkly" like Christmas to me!!!

I have a lot more planned with the gorgeous ribbons, and they go so far too! I hope you check back tomorrow to see what the rest of the DT has in store for you. Thank you so much for stopping by!!!

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.
