Hello everyone ♥I wanted to share a card I made using ♥Really Reasonable Ribbons♥ beautiful♥ Satin♥ and♥ Polka dots ribbons♥. LOVE these as they are my FAV's but all Really Reasonable Ribbon is my Favorite as that is all I use :)

I used for the border the double ruffled edge 1.5" white Satin ribbon, I think this ribbon is perfect for borders on cards,scrapbook pages, and photo albums. Then I used the pink Satin with grosgrain edge ribbon on top of that. I used the 1/2 " scor tape to hold it down on the white ribbon. For my double bow, I used the same pink satin ribbon  to make the larger bow, and then the white organza with polka dot for the smaller bow on top. I then added a fabric covered brad on top.

♥Sweetheart mini album♥

Hello everyone today i'm sharing a mini Album designed for

 ♥The Scraping Cottage using the beautiful Valentines Cottage Cutz.♥

So for my album I used the SweetHeart Flower Cottage Cutz,to make my flowers for this album. I will have a tutorial coming soon on this. I didnt get to finish my album due to having my 2nd surgery, but all is going well, and when i finish it i will post more pictures for you all to see. Now I used the tags for the front pocket, i put 3 in there. And then used the darling oval one for the front, i figured it could have the title added later. :)

The Love tags are a perfect size for any card,page, or album.

For this top page i used the Sweet Sign Shape with the wording Sweet! LOVe this shape its a perfect sweet sign. I added some pearls to the sign too with some little white gel dots. Now I also made a matte for a photo, and then added one of the new darling tags from The Love Tag Set

For this next page there is another photo matte and i was thinking of adding some tags, if i do i will take more pictures and post them later with the rest of my book. 

These flowers are also from the Sweetheart Flower Cottage Cutz, and there are sooo many different flowers to be made with this one set. LOVE LOVE LOVE this set!

I used all valentine design papers for my album, and ribbon is all from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I used the beautiful pleated ribbons, and the satins,leaves, and lace. All can be found here/

. All flowers were made with card stock and some were distressed.. I used Scrap Dots for the dimension on my flowers, its a liquid glue, and works perfect for flowers.

♥So instead i made flowers in bed and then did my layout. Hubby took the pictures for me, thank you Jerry!!!♥ 

I love the look of the leaves wrapped around the flowers , its super easy to do, and gives my paper flowers some leaves:)

♥♥Vintage Valentine♥♥

Hello everyone today I wanted to share my ♥Victorian Valentine Card♥ made for The Scrapping Cottage using all Valentine's Cottage Cutz.

♥First I used the Filigree Hearts( the double hearts) 2 of them for behind my tag. I distressed all my pieces using tim holtz tea ink and a duster. I ♥ using the duster to dust and distress my ink, its super easy to do, much easier than dabbing. 

♥ The tag was cut using the Love Tag Set 4 x 6 and my Key was cut using the Vintage Key cottage Cutz and the stamp that comes with it.

♥The little Flowers were all layered and they came from the Whimsy Bird and Cage Cottage Cutz.

♥♥♥I added pearls to the flowers,bird cage and the corners of my card.

♥♥♥Cottage Cutz Die's Used♥♥♥

4 x 6 Love Tag Set

4 x 6 Filigree Hearts

4 x 6 Whimsy Bird and Cage

4 x 4 Vintage Key

I used seam binding from♥♥ Really Reasonable Ribbon♥♥ in PINK

and i just took one piece from the edge of it and pulled on it to scrunch it so its gathered up. I tied it to the bird cage and the key.

Next I made a bow and then gathered the ends. I glued it to a feather, and then added a button to the center of my bow.

♥Whimsy Bird and Cage♥
