My Post-it Note Pad Cover for the Really Reasonable Ribbon/Scor-Pal Challenege!

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all survived all of the ghosties and goblins that were on the loose last night!

 Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings newest challenge is being co-sponsored by Scor-Pal so I hope you will join in on the fun and a chance to win some nice prizes form Really Reasonable Ribbon or Scor-Pal. The Challenge is to do a winter project and use blues, silver and whites...with ribbon or trim.

I did a little Post-it note pad cover and pen set.

 The beautiful ribbon I chose to play with is White Satin Diamonds from this month's Ribbon of the Month Club over @ Really Reasonable Ribbon.. It is drop dead gorgeous!

If you are not a Ribbon of The Month Club member, you should seriously think about joining. You get 10-15 yards of beautiful assorted ribbon for just $9.00 (including shipping) every month!

I used the "Snow Tweet" clear stamp set that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps.

It is so fun and easy to color. You can just change the color of his hat and scarf to match and designer paper or cardstock! I used The Paper Temptress's ~ Heavenly White, Silver Sizzle Glossy, and Lapis Lazuli. 

I used Scor-Tape (now available at Really Reasonable Ribbon) to make the pad holder and attach all of the elements. I have started using it under all of my ribbons and they always stay right where I put them! Love love love the stuff!

I almost forgot to mention how nice it is using my Scor-Pal when doing multiple scores on these little pad covers! ;)

Thanks for dropping by!

If you have a few minutes to spare, you really should head on over to our blog and see what inspiration the other girls have whipped up for you.

It would be AWESOME if you played along in our challenge too!  ;)
You can get all of the details HERE.

Hugs,

True :D

The card that I created for the hop is done with a stamp set that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps entitled "Home Tweet Home". The papers are all from The Paper Temptress  (see card recipe below for exact paper names).

I have a video tutorial posted now at Clearly iStamp that shows you haw to sponge the background using Tombow markers. It also shows how to color and emboss the rest of the image. Hope you will take a peek and leave a comment! ;)

That beautiful "Black Swirls" ribbon is of course from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The gorgeous Vintage Brad is also from RRR. 

My blog candy offering is (2) Basic Grey stacks: June Bug and Obscure plus a sweet set of ribbon donated by RRR that matches theses stacks very nicely!

To be eligible for my blog candy, all you need to do is be a follower, or become one if you aren't already, and leave a comment.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop with my very first Magnolia!

Tweet

Hello, and welcome to another installation of the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog hop!

We had so much fun with our first hop a few weeks ago, introducing the new Design Team, that we wanted to do another one. Actually, we have decided to do one on the 13th of every month! Each month, the winner of the draw will receive the "Ribbon of The Month" package from RRR.

If you came here from Kerri's beautiful  blog, you are in the right place!

If you just stumbled in, head on over to Bonnie's "Really Reasonable Ribbon Ramblings" blog to read the rules and start at the beginning.

OK...it's official...I have colored my very first Magnolia image! A friend gave this one to me quite awhile back and I never inked it up. Shame on me! I have redeemed myself now though! LOL!

I look back at my last several (dozen) cards and see a pattern. I LOVE ribbons and bows and love to use them....a lot!

I challenged myself to not use  ribbons or bows on this card. Bad timing for a Really Reasonable Ribbon blog hop you say!!  I think not!!!! They have a wonderful assortment of other items too. On this card I used their .25 cents a yard "Light Pink Mini Ric Rac"  and my new all time favorite trim... "Moss Green Leaves".

Busted! I caught you looking for the leaf trim...didn't I? I forgot to tell you that my favorite way to use it is all cut up!

It makes wonderful shimmery leaves for flowers! And at only .80 cents a yard, it makes a lot inexpensive leaf accents!

This is the first time I have used flowers from "Wild Orchid Crafts" and I LOVE them!

The card base is Bazzill Salt Swiss Dots. The rest of the CS and the DP are "Stampin'Up".

The image was colored with Copics and paper pieced.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Fun With Shapes ~ "Pastel Inks"
Stamp Something ~ "Birthday Somethings" (Explanation...My camera pooped out on me before I got to shoot the inside. I will try to load a picture later. The inside sentiment reads "I hope you are surrounded by the ones you love and all things beautiful on your  birthday!"
Cupcake Craft ~ "Buttons"
Sweet Stampin ~ "Color Combo"

The Pink Elephant ~ "Yellow, Designer Paper, and Buttons"

Roses on Paper ~ "Pink, Yellow, and Orange

Kaboodle ~ "Spring"

My Time to Craft ~ "Tooo Cute"

Creative Card Crew ~ this "Sketch"

Little Red Wagon ~ "Brads"

The Pixie Cottage ~ "Sketch"

Paper Play ~"Stamp/digi with some bling!

Thanks again for checking in on me! I would love it if you took a second or two to spread a little comment lovin' my way!

Now head on over to your next stop @ Cheryl's blog to see her Sweet Designs!

True :D
