Cut N Up with CottageCutz Harvest Release

 Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday to all! Today I wanted to share a Harvest/Autumn Calendar I made using more beautiful CottageCutz dies these are from The CottageCutz Harvest Release, to go with all the others I've made in the past. This is November 2013 and there is room for 2 photo's here.

I'm trying to finish up the months so I can put this calendar together. Its taken me longer than I thought, but I need to get moving on this ASAP...hehehehehe

 So I used the CottageCutz Basket full of Fall and some of the CottageCutz Vegetable Assortment too, I LOVE how they work well together in this basket. You can also use the Vegetable Assortment in the other basket as well.

I also used the CottageCutz Rustic Fence with Grass, and Love how it turned out. I thought it would work perfect for this page for the calendar. I used the little pumpkin in the lower corner. For the Banner I used the CottageCutz Pennants Plain and Pinking Pennants both can be found HERE!

 The stickers I used are from My Little Shoebox and the Ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I also added some buttons that I colored with chocolate Creative Inspiration paints. Lastly I added some sewing to all layers.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!

Hugs to all,

Happy Halloween Treat Box

Hello Friends!

I'm Super Excited to share with you my Decorated Halloween Treat Box made for my Niece. Im going to be making 2, and this is the first 1 done :) I designed it for Really Reasonable Ribbon and The Scrapping Cottage.

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

Really Reasonable Ribbon/Gingham

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:

Chevron Striped Pink Twill 1 1/2 "

Black Netting

Penelope Lace

Sheer Box Pleats Ivory

Black Satin Ribbon

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.
