Paris Inspired

Hi everyone!  I hope  you are all having a great weekend!  I have a pretty card for you today.  

I created my card using my Cricut French Manor and Elegant Edges cartridges along with the Echo Park - Be Mine Collection. 

I used this pink velvet ribbon and my sewing machine to create this pretty ribbon ruffle.

I love the pink, grey and black together!  This is such a beautiful color combo.

You can read more details on my blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Little Miracle

Hey everyone! It's Emily here from Create Serendipity with a fun little weekend project to share with you!

I made this darling little frame out of a wooden frame that I found at the craft store for $1! I just love to keep those frames in my stash because I never know when I will need to make a quick gift for a birthday or even a baby shower!

I used the 1.5 inch Pink Crochet Lace on this frame, I thought it gave a little delicate touch to this baby frame.

Thanks for stopping by today!

♥♥Kitty Bee Sweet♥♥

♥Hello everyone and Happy Friday to all!  It's Cheryl here with a card for today's RRR post. I've used 4 different Really Reasonable Ribbons on my card for today♥

♥♥Really Reasonable Ribbon I used:♥♥

3/8" Satin Double Ruffled Edge Ribbon in Red

1.5 "White Silky Crush Ribbon

1"White Satin Gathered Ruffled

1/4 "Mini Satin Swiss Dots Lemon

Scor-tape 1/2 " , and 1/4" scor-tape

Black pearls

♥♥So for the ribbon border I used the white satin gathered ruffled ribbon, and the red double ruffled edge ribbon and used both sizes of scor-tape to hold them together and on my card. For my tag I used the red double ruffled to tie and the mini satin swiss in lemon.

I made my bow with the Silky Crush in white, LOVE this stuff too!!! It makes such easy bows.

♥My Kitty Bee Sweet is a Cottage Cutz die and was meant to be a Bee, but I wanted her to be a LadyBug instead......hehehehehehee

All the hearts and tag are also Cottage Cutz die's.  

♥For my flower center I used a ladybug button.  For my Kitty I used RRR Black Pearls for the eyes and for the wings of my ladybug.

♥ The design paper I used is from My Little Shoebox and I'm soo in ♥♥♥ with this design paper!!!

Now to the altered bottles. 

Valentine's Cutie

Hi everyone - Bonnie here.  What?? you say.... 
Yup, I actually made a card  to share today.  I find I don't get to spend nearly enough time crafting, so I'm going to be scheduling myself for blog posts so I have a reason to get creative.

Now you'll have to bear with me for a while as I find that I've become a bit rusty in my crafting skills.  Yes - it's been that long!!   I am taking an online course on copics too, so my coloring skills are certainly not on par with that of my amazing DT.  They are just so talented that it's a bit intimidating to even come on and show my work, but I'm going to bit the bullet and do it anyway.

He's a close-up of my copic coloring.  Not too shabby for a newbie I guess.  I also 'stickled' her wings which looks really pretty and shimmery in person.  I guess my photography skills need some work too!  :)

I have the hardest time with the light source thingy.  I just don't see it.  I guess that's the hardest part for those of us who are not really that artistic.  I'm sure it will get easier with practice.

Today I went with the good old scrunched ribbon technique for my card using 5/8" white satin w/grosgrain edge ribbon and 1/2" Scor-Tape.  Scor-Tape works perfectly for this technique because it is so good and sticky.  Just run a strip of tape across your card and then stick a little ribbon, scrunch it up a bit and repeat.  Trudy made a great video tutorial for us on this techniqe a while ago and you can find it HERE.

The image I used on my card is Shy Cupid from Whimsie Doodles.  She was colored, cut out and mounted on foam tape on several layers of Spellbinder die cuts.  I just love my new Heart Circles die!!  The design papers are from the Paper Studio.  My card was made following the sketch on week #190 at Sketch Saturday.

Thanks for stopping by today.  How many of you are just starting out with copics or other alcohol based markers?  Do you find the light source and shading difficult to 'see' too??

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.
