Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop and Design Team Reveal

Happy National Scrapbook Day Everyone. Today Really Reasonable Ribbon has their first Design Team Reveal Blog Hop and there is some absolutely AMAZING talent on the team. I am truly blessed to be working with such a great bunch of artists, and I hope that you take a few moments to start at the beginning of the hop to see our 1st ever DESIGN TEAM!!!

If you have been following along you should have hopped here from Cheryl's Blog
This girl has amazing talent and a serious Ribbon addiction. Just like the rest of the Really Reasonable Ribbon team.

For my project today, I've created a card using the 5/8" Jute ribbon, which I've absolutely fallen in love with. The fullness of the bows you can make with these ribbons, is fantastic and I can just see the possibilities when it comes to making flowers.

The image is painted with Distress Stickles and Distress Inks. Then on the empty space, i went over and filled it in with Glossy Accent. Paper is from Basic Grey- Green at Heart.

Now since you've made it all the way to the end of the hop, you get a little gift from Bonnie at Really Reasonable Ribbon. Everyone that finishes the Hop gets a Discount code to use this weekend for 10% off your ENTIRE order. Enter HOPSHOPSALE with your order and get some of the prettiest ribbons around for a discount. It doesn't get much better than that.

Well maybe it does get a little  better... Make your way back to the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog and let us know what project you liked the most and be entered to win the May Ribbon Club assortment. Pretty Pinks and Browns YUMMO

Thanks a bunch for stopping by today and a big Congratulations to ALL of our Design Team members. YOU ROCK!!!!

PS, I've also added this card to the Botanical Challenge over at Gingersnap Creations

Feminine Flair for Card Patterns.

Hello everyone,

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. We are so fortunate and blessed to have my parents out for the weekend. But I did sneak away last night to create a card for you all. This week I've been a little lax, so I apologize for that. It was the last day of preschool for my class this Thursday and saying goodbye to all those precious children was emotional to say the least. But I'm back now and hope you absolutely love this card. I used this weeks Card Patterns sketch challenge and decided to really keep it simple. So here she is.




The swirled background is something I created using a cuttlebug folder, a sanding block, perfect medium pen and some fuschia glitter. It sure packs a punch and I will be doing a tutorial for it soon, so keep your eyes open

Supplies:
Accessories: Hot pink satin ribbon, cream pearls (Kaiser Craft)
Coloring agents: Versafine Black Onyx and Smokey Gray, glaze pens,

Paper: Card stock- Regal Rose, Basic Gray, Going Gray (SU) GCD Studio floral, Acetate

A little masculine appeal today

Hi Everyone, Today I tried my shot at something a little more masculine and I now completely understand why so many others struggle with Masculine cards. I did too. This card is based on the Mojo Monday sketch as well as the color create Orange, Green and Brown challenge. Here he is in all his lack of glory lol. Hope you like it. What ideas do you have for masculine cards?
