Time for another Really Reasonable Ribbon blog hop! :)

Hi Everyone!

It's the 13th of the month so it's time for another Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings blog hop!

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.

With school starting back up soon, I thought I would create something that would be a fun but simple way to doll up a little note pad. What kid wouldn't like to have personalized school supplies? This is so simple that if given the supplies, they could easily create some themselves. All you need is a little designer paper, some pretty ribbon, and a Sharpie marker for doodling.


I found these cute little 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" notebooks at Staples that were already fun colors so I didn't even have to cover them up.


I used my "Garden of Life" pre-colored set  for the designer paper. I printed it on Discount Card Stock's Brilliant White 110# cardstock.

The "Garden of Life" digi set is available as an instant download for just $3.50 @ Clear Dollar Stamps.


I had a scrap piece of the "designer paper" left in the size of a bookmark so while I was at it, I grabbed a piece of  Cylamen Cascata Felt from Discount Card Stock which was about the same color as the notebook, and made a matching bookmark.
I prettied them both up with the sweet Capri Blue Satin with Grosgrain Edge ribbon form Really Reasonable Ribbon's - August Monthly Ribbon Club assortment.
If you aren't a ribbon club member, now would be a great time to sign up! With the holidays coming up shortly, I'm sure Bonnie will be doing some great seasonal sets! 
You get automatic shipments of 10-15 yards of assorted beautiful ribbons for just $9.00 domestic and $11.50 international!
This is what this month's set looks like.

Bonnie will be giving away a August Ribbon Monthly Club kit plus some other goodies to a random commentor so please make sure and comment on all of the girl's projects to increase your chances of winning!


If you haven't signed up for my latest blog candy, CLICK HERE.
You could win some of Basic Grey's "Picadilly" paper before it's even available to the general public, and some Really Reasonable Ribbon and embellishments!

Your next stop on the hop is Andrea's Creative Paper Trail. You're gonna love it! :)
Thanks so much for dropping by today!
Hugs,
True :D
