My Beautiful Daughter

Today I am posting my first project on Really Reasonable Ribbon's blog and I chose to share a project I made using my beautiful daughter's picture.

This month at Really Reasonable Ribbon, the Ribbon Club Assortment is so delicious! Look at all those rich Gold and Silvers. Are you a member of the Monthly Ribbon Club? Let me tell you there are some great perks to getting these assortments. I have found that I try ribbons I would have never seen or tried unless I got them in the Monthly Ribbon Club assortment.

Let me share a recycle project and fun design using some of my favorites.

I found this shadowbox frame in clearance because the side had a tear where the price tag or a label was.

Now doesn't that yummy ribbon work well right there?

This silver diamond pattern can be found in this great assortment also .

I also used the Silver Satin with Silver Edges to make bows and decorate the corners.

I wanted to share that that beautiful green flower is a gift from a talented Natasha.The red flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

So hopefully you are signed up to receive your RRR Monthly Ribbon Club assortment- you are going to love it!!!

Happy Holidays!

I have a Confession:
I am not one that usually makes Christmas cards.Heck, I don't even buy Christmas cards.I just don't send them.I have so many things on my "To-Do" list every year thatI completely forget to send out cards, so I just quit doing it years ago.
This year, however, I have a much tighter budget and I thought I would give this Christmas Card thing one more shot.  I wanted to make a card that could easily be duplicated by my kids, so that they could help.  I also wanted it to look elegant without being too bulky to send in the mail. 
I found some pipe cleaners last year at the Dollar Store that look like pine garland.  I decided to use them to make a mini wreath to go on the front of the cards and just add one big red bow to it.  I used shimmer satin red ribbon for my bow and just a simple generic greeting.Here is what I came up with:

This was so easy, that my 6 year old even made a few!

Now, I can't WAIT to get them sent out!

Thanks for stopping by today!  

Have a fantastic weekend!

Merry Christmas Penguin

Hi everyone! Joanna Bandelin here, I'm so excited to be joining the new RRR Design Team! Today is my very first post and I hope you enjoy my holiday card. My style is always bright and colorful and of course having a love of ribbon and twine always helps! :)For my card I used some awesome Red/White/Green Diagonal Stripe Grosgrsin ribbon and paired it with a bit of  Christmas Baker's Twine ((I LOVE the 3 color combo of the baker's twine!)).

I gave my sweet penguin a mini twine pop. They are super easy peasy to make, just dab a bit of hot glue to some scrap paper,  add the twine and wrap in a circle. I used half of a toothpick as the stick..and done!

I hope this gets you in the mood for some holiday crafting! :)

Have a great day!

A Circle of Crocheting

Good morning! Judy Rozema here. I am excited to share my first post as a member of the RRR Design Team! What an honor! I LOVE all of the wonderful products that RRR offers, and Bonnie is a gem to work with!

My card today features one of my favorite trims, Amelia White Crochet Lace. A beautiful cotton lace that comes in 2 yard pieces, or a whole spool (my preference!), this lace could be easily dyed, or left the pure white color, as I did here.

It made a perfect edging for my stamped circle. Click on either photo for a close-up view. 

My images are by Rubber Stamp Tapestry. More details about this card can be found on my blog, Joy in a JAR. I hope you will stop by there too!
