Explore Layout

Do you enjoy exploring and documenting your adventures?  I created this layout from a past road trip along our many trips.

 I used the beautiful crochet lace to add a touch of softness.  Then I layers the burlap natural string, the Mulberry Leaves and the Wild Orchard Flowers in earth tones.

 Next I added the silk crush champagne ribbon.  

This was a such a fun and easy layout to create.  I hope this inspires you to explore and document your next trip.

Fill Your Life With Adventures

Life is an adventure...  You never know where your journey will take you.  I created the cover of my newest mini album using some beautiful ribbons and embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I added bows with one of my new favorite ribbons the Sheer Iridescent Antique Gold Ribbon, then tucked in the Natural Jute String to add more dimension.

Then I tucked in some vintage buttons and the Mulberry Leaves.

I then added some vintage lace and burlap.  I am excited to start creating pages to capture all my life's adventures.

Hoping you have a wonderfully creative day.

Let God Use You Layout

One of the many things I like to add to our family albums is simple words of faith.  I have collected hymnals over the years and use them in a lot of my artwork.

For this layout I added some gorgeous ribbon and lace from Really Reasonable Ribbon to add dimension and softness to this layout.

I used Sheer Iridescent Antique Gold Ribbon and paired it with the Burlap Natural String.  Then I added the Chloe Natural Crochet Lace and vintage cream buttons.

  I then tucked a few of the Mulberry Leaves around the photo mat.

Wishing you a creative day.

Art Journal - Together the Best Place to Be

I wanted to share one of my newest art journal pages.   I used some beautiful ribbons, flowers and embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used the beautiful ribbons from the December Monthly Ribbon Club - Back to Basics.

Then I added Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to Assorted Daisy in Mixed Aqua.  I tucked Mulberry Paper Leaves under the Daisies and added Antique Bronze Flower Charm.

I then added a vintage photo and some of my artwork to the page.

Wishing you a creative day, dear friends.

Happy HALLOWEEN Card!

Hello everyone, and Happy Labor Day to you all!

Today I have a sweet little card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful Brown Satin, and the sweet little Itsy Bitsy Spider Grosgrain Ribbon from the RRR Store.  I love the Halloween ribbon you will find here under the holiday ribbons, it's absolutely darling, and these spiders are the cutest spookiest little guys you have ever seen...hehehe coming from the gal who hates spiders......hehehehehehe.  Oh my!

Anyways for my card today I chose to use a card base I had previously cut using the cricut machine. I have some of these set aside so I can use them. I then added a Cheery Lynn doily cut using the design paper from Tricks and Treats pebbles stack. The flowers are also a design paper polka dots cut out using Cheery Lynn Designs Tea Rose Small strip die. I did use the Glass Flower Technique and it can be found here on my blog under Tutorials. I have several videos on this using different techniques on the flowers then doing the glass technique, super fun!

The little tag is also from the same paper collection.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies used:

Brown Satin 7/8" Ribbon

Itsy Bitsy Spider Grosgrain Ribbon

Embellishments Covered buttons black

3-D Foam Sqaures

Brown Leaves

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,
Cheryl
