Street Party Scrapbook Layout

 Hello all my fellow ribbon lovers and Happy Monday!  Misty (@Mommyofkidz) here today, and before I share my project, I have a question for you.  

What is your favorite thing to do with your ribbon? 

The answer is easy for me. I LOVE to make boutique style hair bows. However, I also very much love to scrapbook, and I almost always use ribbon, twine, or lace on my layouts. I have one more question, then I will share...lol.  I know, I know...it is way too early on a Monday for all this! (ha ha)

What type of ribbon craft would you like to see more of on the blog?

Ok, now that we have played "20 questions", I will share! :) (Two...Twenty...who's counting!!?? :)  Anyway, today I am sharing a layout with you featuring some 4th of July Festivities. 

I did this as part of a Progressive Challenge that I participated in recently, so it is just a bit different than my normal style, but I am in love with how this turned out! I used several bits and pieces from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store on this....

There were four steps to the Progressive Challenge, and as I was building this layout, I had no clue what the next step would be. Ultimately, one could end up with a jumbled mess, or something amazing.  I got lucky that my layout turned out to be something that I love! 

I began with the ribbon on the bottom title strip, which I pleated so that it could be seen better. The 5/8 Red Poppy Satin Ribbon was a perfect match to the vintage paper that I chose to start my layout with. 

I also used some jute string which I LOVE and use on quite a lot of my projects.  While I have used the natural color, I do have it in several other colors that can be found in the Really Reasonable Ribbon store. 

Peep all the mulberry roses that I have used! Y'all, I can not tell you enough how addicted to these things I am! I don't know if I have every color yet, but my stash has certainly grown! I used the 10mm open roses on this layout in red, white, and blue obviously. 

While I had no clue how this would turn out when I began, I fell in love with each step along the way. Part of the reason that I love it so much is the "eye candy" that I was able to add to enhance the overall "vibe" of the layout. Most of which came from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I certainly hope that you have gained some inspiration today, and I also hope that you will leave a comment for me answering my questions that I began with today. I genuinely would LOVE to know!! 

Thank you all for stopping by and have a Creative and Crafty Week!! 

Give Thanks Bag

Autumn is in the air!  

The days are cooler and the rich autumn colors are painting the landscape.  My thoughts turn toward family time together.  Meals together, lively conversation and cards played around the table.

It's fun and easy to create these Give Thanks Bags to hold silverware for your special get together's or some sweet treats for that special someone.

I used a canvas bag, fabric leaves and beautiful ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The beautiful Moss Cream Plaid Ribbon and Natural Burlap String added a soft fall touch to this bag.

Hope you enjoyed another fun and easy project.

Natural Colors in Scrapbook Layout

Hello fellow ribbon lovers!  

Do you love adding ribbons and lace to your scrapbook layouts?  I know I do!  

For this layout, I choose to use natural colors to compliment the beautiful photo of our vacation to Colorado.  I used the Autumn Sheer with Satin Center Assortment, the Melissa Natural Crochet Lace and the Jute String- Natural.

It is easy to add beautiful ribbons and lace to your layouts.  I hope you schedule some creative time.

Wishing you a creative day.

Autumn Blessing Decor

Hi, my name is Sheila Rumney and I am so excited to be joining this very talented design team.  Today, I am sharing a vintage inspired Autumn Blessing decor that can easily be created to hang in your home this autumn season.

I combined the beautiful olive ribbon from the Autumn Sheer with Satin Center Assortment and the Jute String Natural.  The Jute String Natural a great size to thread the vintage button used in the project.

I then added some autumn leaves, burlap, a vintage image, pattern paper and adhered it to a vintage Bingo card.  Then I used the cream color ribbon of the Autumn Sheer with Satin Center Assortment  to add a hanger.

I then added some glitter glue to make the image and leaves pop.  

I hope your enjoyed this sweet project and give it a try.
