The 1st Ever Layout On My Blog & RRR Blog Hop

Hello All!
It is the 13th of the month which means that it is time for another fun Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings blog hop!
If you came from Cheryl's sweet blog, you are in the right place. If you just happened on to the hop here, you will want to start back at the beginning at RRR design team blog.

Yes....it's a scrapbook page and No...you are not on the wrong blog! LOL!
I am sharing my first ever layout on my blog. It is simple but I wanted my beautiful niece Emily's picture to be the focal point.


This is one of her senior pictures. Isn't she beautiful!?!


For the hop today, I used a ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon's - March Ribbon of the Month Club package. Bonnie picked out lots of pretty purples and whites  for this set.  :)



Here is a closer look at the ribbon treatment. I used Scor-Tape and scrunched it. I did a VIDEO some time back showing how easy it is if you want to check it out a little bit later.


The pearls are White Gradient Pearls from Creative Charms and I colored them with Copics to match.

The papers and most of the embellishments are from K&Company's Tim Coffey ~ Cottage Garden collection. The pretty flower is Prima and the green cardstock is Bazzill Swiss Dots.

Your next stop on the hop is the wonderful Tilly's blog.  ;).

Remember to leave a comment on all of the hop blogs for your chance to win some beautiful ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon!

Just a reminder....Really Reasonable Ribbon is having a full design team call right now.
If you love ribbon and would like to get lots of it free every month...you should check it out.
Click HERE for all of the details.....after you leave me some love that is!  ;)

I would love to here what you think about my first posted layout...and please be nice...I'm a newbie! ;)

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Hugs
True :D

    Are you sure, it´s your first? To me it looks like it´s been made by a pro. It´s just gorgeous and I love the scrunched ribbon and was glad to see the video link for that, as I´ve often wondered how people made it look like this, so I´ll be on my way now to watch that, thanks so very much for that hun. And let´s just see a lot more LO´s in the future, as this one is definately awesome. Your niece is a very beautiful girl, that´s for sure, and the LO fits her perfectly.
