WOW! Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop Plus PSA Essentials and Discount Card Stock Guest DT's and...some prizes!




Hi Everyone!
Grab a cuppa and sit back for awhile!
This is a long post but soooo worth the reading and surfing!
I have lots going on here today. 
It is the 13th of the month so it's time for another Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings blog hop!
I am also today's Guest Designer for PSA Essentials and the May Guest Designer for Discount Cardstock.
I hope all of the blog hoppers will also read on down and check out the companies I am guesting for too because they are awesome!!!! :) You could win some PSA or RRR goodies too!
For those of you who came because of the guest spots, we would love for you to join us in the RRRR blog hop!

*~*~*~*
As we all know....Blogger has had some major issues the last couple of days. Although my post is up, not everyone on the hop has had a chance to get their's on so please come back later and hit the links that you miss. Much appreciated! :)
*~*~*~*

Now....if you found your way here from Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings, you are in the right place!
If you just happened on to my blog, head on back there, because that it where it all starts! :)
You don't want to miss any of the awesome projects the girls have created for your viewing pleasure...or a chance at a great prize from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

My card today works for all of my assignments plus I needed a card for my nieces wedding! 
I sooo love it when everything falls together like this! :)


The beautiful ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon's  May Ribbon Club set.


The drop dead gorgeous cardstock is Bronze, Mountain Rose, Jade Satin, and Jade Riccio, all from Discount Card Stock. I did some embossing which is always beautiful on these metallic papers.


The elegant sentiment stamp is from PSA Essentials "Mr. & Mrs." Peel and Stick stamp pack and the boarder stamp that I used gold embossing powder on, is from their "Whimsy Cakes" pack.
I thought the gold embossing tied the sentiment in with that pretty gold trimmed ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.


Here is an inside shot of the pretty papers, ribbon, and image.
