La Creme Friendship Toilet Paper Mini

Friendship Toilet Paper Mini was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using a Ton of different ribbons,trims,and laces. I LOVE all the Satin Ribbon, Beautiful Laces, Pom Pom Mini Trim, Seam Binding , and Sheer Ribbon I used in this album. Also Loving the interactive Pages I designed for this mini.

Sheer Box Pleated Trim In Ivory
Mini Pom Pom Black
Mini Pom Pom Ivory
Mini Pom Pom Red
1.5" Black Crocheted Lace
Green Moss Leaves Trim
Black Satin
Red Satin with Grosgrain Edge
Ruby Red Satin
Sheer Red double ruffled edge ribbon
Penelope Natural Lace
5/8" Black Crocheted Lace
Ivory Crocheted Lace



I love using a TON of RRR in my Mini Albums, I think it really makes the albums pop! I also love this La Creme Design paper that I picked up at the dcwv 1.00 sale back when. I added some flowers,stickers, and CottageCutz Lace envelope to this mini. I also made a couple of interactive pages, with the family page being 1 of those! Lots of pictures can be added.


these 2 pages I left for just a couple photo's to be added, I figured there is so many spots for photo's in this album that this would be ok.

For the backside I used the CottageCutz Lace Envelope like I do on most of my mini's since I received this darling envelope. I think its perfect for adding more photo's , Journaling spots, or to add a note.





Thank you all for looking and have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs to all,

Sweeet Floral Delight

Hello everyone, I have some SUPER EXCITING News to share today! I am now part of Creative Inspirations Paints Design Team, and today i'm sharing my 1st card made using CI's Paints, Glitter, and Glitz! wooohoooo 
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE using these CI's shimmery paints, and I used them on just about everything on my card here today :) hehehehehe 
I stamped with them,distressed,colored and inked up edges.

Tutu Pink
Blush
Pink Highlights
Chocolate
 Carmel
 Tan
Evergreen
Green Olive


For the tag I used Tutu Pink, I just brushed it on to cover all the white. For the oval frame I used Tan. I love all the shimmer the paints give, they are beautiful!

My BIG bow is Silky Crush Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, I used the Pom Pom Mini Trim in ivory, then used pink lace, and crocheted lace on my card.

My entire card was put together using Helmar Premium Craft Glue, Quickfix Tape Runner, and Zapdots.

Next on the flowers, I stamped the pink ones in Blush, heat set, then colored with Tutu Pink, and then cut them out with dies. for the edges of the flowers I used Resplendence Angel Dust from Creative Inspirations Paints. this is sooo pretty and gives a lot of glitz for cards and projects. All I did was brush some glue on the edges and then dipped the one side of the flower into the jar, and then tapped off the excess. 

Now for my brown flowers I stamped them in Chocolate and then heat set, and then colored with carmel. I repeated 

For the Branches, I used Evergreen and Green Olive to create the look for them, and then punched out the branches.


I used the Jeweled Inspirations for the centers of my flowers :)
For my Crocheted Lace I painted it with Pink Highlights, and for the card stock I painted with Carmel and Tan, also used them both on the CottageCutz Tea Time doily!

Challenge:
Make it Monday/Anything Goes

I am Honored to be a part of Creative Inspirations Wonderful DT and absolutely LOVE working with the Paints and glitz. Thank you for looking and hope you have a lovely day!!

I need to pick up candy for my Nieces to fill this box, but will do that shortly. 

This is a Hair Bow I made and attached it to the Tulle. I figured my Niece Sienna can wear it for the week of Halloween if she would like. I used 1 1/2" Orange Circus dots, Dots from the September Ribbon Kit, and then Gingham black ribbon to create this fun bow. I added the Halloween Owl to the center, too CUTE!!!

Next for the bottom of the box, I decided to use the SUPER FUN CottageCutz Gothic Gate, and LOVED coloring this up, and putting it together. I used Faber Castell to color the gate,laterns, skull, and grass. For the Pumpkins I used tim holtz distressed ink and dusted them. I also added some Stickles to the Gate!

For the top and the bottom of my box I used the Pom Pom Trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Supplies Used:
Really Reasonable Ribbon/Orange Circus Dots
Really Reasonable Ribbon/Club Kit

Floral Garden Layout

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all!
Today I'm sharing a Layout made for Really Reasonable Ribbon using a ton of beautiful Ribbons,Lace,Netting, and trim all from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Used:


I also designed this layout for a contest with Fabscraps, im going to enter it , I used all fabscraps dp,flowers, and the chipboard circle.

On my layout I used Black Satin for the Black Bows, and Black centers for the flowers. Next I used Black Netting, and then Penelope Natural Lace next to the netting. I also ran more of the Black netting along the bottom of the photo mat, and then used Sheer Box Pleats Ivory for on that.

For the BIG Pink bows I used the Chevron Striped Pink Twill to make those. I LOVE this ribbon, and its new to me, but it makes beautiful bows.



My design paper, flowers and the circle chipboard are all from FabScraps. I painted the circle chipboard with Tim Holtz Crackle paint, then distressed it. Next The flowers came from a book from Fabscraps as well and I punched them all out, super easy to do, and then inked up the edges with Black ink. 

The flowers were put together using Helmars Scrapdots, it gives a 3-D effect for them.

I left some room for a Title, and will add a photo later. I was trying to find one of my dear Grandma to put on here, but will have to scan and then print it.

Hugs to all,
Cheryl
