Take Ugly or Oddball Buttons and Make Them Pretty!

Tweet

Hi everyone!

It's my day to post over on the CardMaker magazine blog. I am sharing a simple way to alter the ugly buttons in your stash that never seem to get used.

Here's a peek at the card that I created with my altered buttons.

I hope you will pop over there and check it out! :)

Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop and My Halloween Cookies

Tweet

Hi Everyone and welcome to another Really Reasonable Ribbon blog hop!

If you are here from the Really Reasonable Ribbons Ramblings blog, you are in the right place.
If you just happened on to my blog, you will want to go back one step to start at the beginning.

Regular followers of my blog,  know that I have started sharing my baked goodies on here as of late too. Why not combine my love of all things sweet and my love of pretty ribbons?

The September Ribbon Club Kit has all of the fun colors that we normally associate with Halloween, (even though, they can be used as every day ribbons as well).
I know it's early, but it put me in the mood for some Halloween cookies. 
We will have to eat these and I will make more for Halloween. 
I used my "Spiced Orange Sugar Cookie" recipe, so they are extra tasty! :)
These would be great for you to make for your special little ghouls and goblins too!

Click on photo for a closer look.

I simply made sugar cookies, using some of Wilton's Halloween Cookie Cutters, frosted them with Royal Frosting, let them dry, then made these fun little gift packages.
The background cardstock is Bazzill Two Scoops in Prickly Pear, Pumpkin Pie, and Black Cow, all from Discount Card Stock. The designer paper is from Graphic 45's "Happy Hauntings" stack.
The pretty bows make the packaging complete! :)

Here is a peek at all of the ribbons in this month's set as well as the frosting colors I mixed to match it. 

Not a member of the ribbon club yet? What are you waiting for? Who wouldn't like to get a surprise package of beautiful ribbons every month? CLICK HERE for details.

I should also mention that Really Reasonable Ribbon is currently in the middle of a design team call! 
We are looking for talented crafters and artists who love using ribbon, work well with deadlines and have great personalities. If you are a card maker, scrapbooker, hair bow maker, paper crafter, ribbon artist, altered artist or if you do anything fun and unique with ribbon please apply.  Our readers are looking for variety, so don't be afraid to show your creative side.

 Your next stop on the hop is sweet Linda's blog.

I am super excited that one of my very best friends...Lisa Lara is joining us on the hop as a special guest designer this month! Look for her blog along the way and make sure and give her some ♥! :)

"Dream" Canvas for Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge and Art Glitter Post

Tweet

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I just have a sneak peek to share with you today.

It's time for another fun Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge.

The theme is "Bling with Ribbon".

It's also my day to post over on the Art Glitter blog.

I created an 8"x8" canvas for Want2Scrap to display at CHA and it works perfectly for both of today's posts. Here is the peek...

Yep....that's drywall fabric on my art canvas! I had quite a bit left from a home-improvement project and thought I  would incorporate some of it in my artwork. What do you think? :)

Why not join in on this week's challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon? You might just win one of two prizes, and you will definatly have fun! :)

Don't have time to play along? You can still head over there and take a quick look at the beautiful projects the other girls have created for you.

If you would like to see the entire project with detailed info, please visit my post on the Art Glitter blog. :)
