Really Reasonable Ribbon & CardMaker "Summertime" Blog Hop!

Tweet

Hi everyone!

Welcome to what I am sure will be an AWESOME blog hop!

The Really Reasonable Ribbon girls, and the CardMaker magazine blog girls have all teamed up to share some summertime inspiration with you. I am blessed to work on both teams with these wonderful ladies!

If you are here from the CardMaker blog, you are in the right place. If you just happened on to my blog, you will want to head back to the CardMaker blog where it all starts.  Make sure and leave comments along the way because Bonnie from Really Reasonable Ribbon will be giving away several prizes to hoppers who comment. They will be picked at random from random blogs, so the more you comment, the greater your chances of wining one of them!

If you like what you see, I invite you to become followers of both the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog and the CardMaker blog so you can keep up with what all of my amazing friends create for your inspiration. :)

We were asked to use the Really Reasonable Ribbon' July Ribbon Club set to create a "Summertime" project. That was a breeze with these pretty ribbons! :)

Two things that remind me of summer are picnics and lazy day activities like flying a kite. I based my card off of this pretty designer paper with a picnic blanket and kites.

I simply trimmed down the 6x6 paper and attached it to my card base. Then I created a kite from coordinating designer paper (scored with my Scor-pal), bakers twine,  and cake pop sticks. I used four different ribbons from the set to make the tail extra pretty!

Here's a closer look at the kite so you can see how 3 dimensional it is. :)

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

Hi everyone!

It's my day to post over @ the Want2 Scrap blog and I have to tell you that I am super proud of my project today! I took a $4.00 Dollar Store find and turned it into a beautiful Shabby Chic box that coordinates perfectly with one of our guest rooms. I just used some simple supplies that we all have laying around our craft rooms.

I hope you will head over to the Want2Scrap blog and check it out.

I have more photos and a list of the supplies used there. 

Please leave me some love while you are there so I will know you took the time to visit! :)
