Memories

The Holidays have been truly amazing. Sharing time with the ones you love is so special and the Holidays is the time to really be thankful for all of our blessings. I hope that you all had a fantastic Christmas.

Hello Everyone, Erika Taylor here to share with you a layout I did recently using some wonderful ribbon from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store. This is a very special layout for me. Each year at Christmas time, I present my husband with a handmade gift showing him my love and devotion. This layout is about just that, a moment at Christmas 2008 where my mom captured a photo of the gift giving.

I've used the Ivory Satin Pleated Trim to give this layout just a little lustre. I distressed the ribbon using some walnut stain Distress Ink to match it better with the layout itself. Using that little bit of ribbon on a project can really make a big difference.

To create the dimension with all of the elements, I've used Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots and Helmar Zapdots . Really easy to use and makes a project come alive. I so love the look of that pleated trim coupled with Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante papers.

Well, that is all for today. I hope that each and every one of you have a wonderful New Years Eve and may you be blessed with peace and prosperity in the new year.

Happy New Year!!!!

Christmas Paper Mug!

Hello! It's Connie again! Today I have a really easy and fun project for you which is just perfect for little gifts this Christmas! I found this paper mug template from Scor-Pal's November 2010 E-Zine. So very simple to make!


I decorate my mug with some Sheer Ruffled Edge Red Ribbon across the bottom, and tied my Oreo Cookies with the same ribbon and also added some totally fun Green Scalloped Trim all from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store!

To finish off my mug, I added this wonderful Christmas sentiment from the Christmas Blessings set from Our Daily Bread Designs cut out with a Labels 4 Nestabilities.

Thank you so much for visiting today! If you want to see more projects with Really Reasonable Ribbons you can head on over to my blog!

"Country Up" Your Cards With Jute String!

Hi True :D here!

I have a card (well...six) to show you that is done with my "Rooster Sunrise" stamp set that will be available November 1st at Clear Dollar Stamps.

I used lots of Kraft paper and some Natural Jute String from Really Reasonable Ribbon to top off that "country" feel.

Check out all of the colors of Jute String that are available. It is a great way to add country charm to any project!
