The Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog DT Announcement

 








I have some exciting news today!  Recently the Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog announced that they were looking for some new design team members.  Well you know I love flowers and ribbons and bows - so of course I had to try out.    Their inspiration photos are always breath taking!  This is the inspiration photo that we were assigned to work with, and of course we had to include some ribbon or lace (no problem there !!) 

Well I kept my fingers crossed and I sweated out the wait ... and ...  I am so happy to announce I am one of the new Ribbon Reel girls!!   I hope I will find you there playing along!  There is SO much eye candy every challenge that you're sure to see something that you absolutely adore! 

Here's the card I created

I used the tea time image from Serendipity Stamps and colored it up just enough to highlight the designs on the china.  I fussy cut it and layered it on a beautiful Cheery Lynn doily and added lots of pretty ribbon and flowers.  If you are loving all that trim and flowers the Ribbon Reel is just for you!  Thanks for sharing my happy news with me!  If you'd like to meet the other ladies who will be joining the Ribbon Reel team and see their designs click here.  Have a beautiful day!

Bringing Home The Tree

I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving! I cooked a big bird with all the fixings and had family over to help eat it all. We played cards well into the night even though I felt like just laying on the couch! Binker got her stitches out over the weekend so I am starting to walk again - she and I both need to get back into shape after all that feasting!! 

I think it's ok now to start thinking Christmas and making spirits bright and all that!  How do you like this image from Serendipity?  The wood mounted version is on special for 50% off right now!  I colored it up with Copic markers.  I loved the green in the tree so I had to carry it outside the image.  I fussy cut a green matt just a little bigger than the image label to frame it.

The bow is made with wired ribbon which makes it so much easier to shape.  I topped that with a little twine and some floral berries that I picked up at Joann.  Everything is hot glued together so it all stays put.

Thanks for having a look and have a great day!

Happy Saturday!  I hope everyone is enjoying a long holiday weekend - getting some great deals at the stores, spending time with family, maybe catching a football game!  I'm watching for some good deals on some of my favorite paper crafting supplies too!  That way when my husband asks "What do you want for Christmas?" I can tell him - "no worries, I already got it!"  By Sunday things should wind down a little and you can sneak off for a little crafty time! 

It's time for your weekly dose of Waltzingmouse goodness!  The sketch design this week is by Mischief Maker, Jean Martin of Stampin' Scrapper blog.  Jean makes some beautiful, striking creations and this design is all her!  Lots of room to play and have fun with this one!  I love those pennant shapes in the background and that circle in the middle to show off your most favorite Waltzingmouse Stamp!  I just got my Camellias set and had to see if I could do them justice.  I stamped them in purple ink and colored them up with some Copic markers.  I fussy cut a large and small flower and layered them for some extra dimension.  Here's a few close ups......

I hope you find time to play - If you need a little inspiration there are lots of examples by the Mischief Makers to get you started!  You can click here to jump to the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge Blog site.   Have a great day!
