Fun Party Invitation


Hi Everyone!

Linda here today and I am going to share a card that I created with diamond satin assortment, which you can find over here!

They are super cute and versatile. On the top of the ribbon, I added the head pin with multiple buttons stacked on top of each other for little cute accents...


You should try adding various types of embellishments on the project, they are so much fun! And here is the detailed photo of the project;


Below is the material list for this project;
-Crate paper diecut
- October afternoon diecut
- My Mind's Eye button
- Prima button

I hope you enjoy my blog post today, enjoy the rest of your day!

Welcome new RRR Design Team

 
This is the second post of the day.  Please be sure to scroll down so you don't miss the wonderful project Emily has for us today.
 
It's hard to believe that it's time to announce our new Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings Design Team. Where did the last 6 months go??
 
First I want to thank our retiring design team members. We will miss them. LindaCorri, PattiDawn, Debbie and Emily will be leaving us at the end of October. They did a fantastic job and gave us tons of great ideas and inspiration. I encourage you all to visit their blogs and become a follower so you can continue to be inspired by their fantastic work.
 
I also want to thank everyone who applied for our new design team positions. There were so many awesome entries that it was very hard to select just 11 people. You'll find some familiar faces below and several brand new ones too.
 
So without further delay, please meet our new Really Reasonable Ribbon Design Team.

Life is a verb... LIVE!

Hey everyone! Emily here again! Today I wanted to share with you a fun canvas that I altered. 


This is a little 6x6 canvas that I got crazy with... I added lots of mists and just kept playing and adding more. Who knew you could add a really cool photo to a canvas and make a neat home decor piece! 


I believe I misted pretty much any type of fabric or ribbon on this project. I typically buy my ribbons in white or cream because they are fun to dye. 


Thanks for stopping by today!

RRR October Blog Hop Winner!

This is the second post of the day. Be sure to scroll down to see the beautiful project that Cheryl has made for us today.

Thank you so much for hopping along with us this month on the Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings Blog Hop. We had so much fun and we hope you did too!! We'll be hopping on the 13th of each month, so be sure to mark your calendars and join us again next month.

Well, when I asked our question of the month as to whether you love winter or merely tolerate it, I admit that I was in a 'Northeast' mindset, not thinking that part of the country enjoys a very moderate winter.  It seems that those of you who hit a low temp of 50-ish tend to like the winter and those of us who feel like we spend at least half of it shoveling snow - not so much!  It's not that I mind looking at beautiful, fresh falling snow - it's just the clean-up that I could do without!!  :)

Now, on to our winner who will receive the October Ribbon Club Assortment along with the other fun goodies shown here which are all available at Really Reasonable Ribbon.



The winner will have 48 hours to contact me by clicking on the contact button at the top of the blog and sending me your full name and shipping address.

Random Integer Generator

Here is your random number:  36

Congratulations marg0006!

I do tolerate it now but in the past when I was younger & healthier it was enjoyable. It is difficult to handle the cold now.


Now if you didn't win, don't worry!! We will be 'hopping' each month so you'll have another chance to win soon! We hope you stop by and visit our blog often.

Be sure to check out our current challenge here. We'd love to have you play along with us. Have a super day!

Be sure to stop by tomorrow and meet out new Design Team!

Happy Halloween Banner

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with a Happy Halloween Banner designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Banner Measures -48" long when hanging

***I really enjoyed making this banner, and now need to find a spot in my home to hang it for Halloween. 

On my banner I used a TON of Really Reasonable Ribbon
I used Pom Pom Mini In black and Yellow
I used Black Satin in different sizes
Trim

I tried to do a few close ups, this one shows the ribbons used, and I also used Creative Inspirations Paints on the flower, I used Deliquesce Gold Crystal from CIP's as well on the Spiders.


All the Tags in this Banner are from DCWV's Halloween Banner Kit. Now I didnt use everything in this kit, there are still a lot of banners and such left to make another one of these.  I also added some Big BLINGY BUGS, they are CHARMS and I added them to the bows at the top of 2 of the tags.


I want to thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful Day!!!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

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!!!
 
Really Reasonable Ribbon materials:
Baker's Twine Cherry
Sheer Iridescent Antique Gold
Green Glitz Satin (from assortment)
Other:
Kaisercraft papers
Suzy West WOW embossing powders

Then scroll down to show word verification for comments? and select No.
We love to visit your blogs and leave comments on all the terrific entries, but the word verification really slows us down. :o)
