I’m using the serendipity Collection from BoBunny and I just love the vintagy images and soft dreamy colors.

This planner started out life as a pocket folio. The picture here shows the cover and pockets.  And then…..welll…….it accidentally became a planner lol.

Please enjoy the video I’ve created as a flip through of the finished project :

Hello Fall Greeting Card

Posted on by

Happy first of the month Peeps! I’m sharing my first project created with the new Autumn Harvest Ribbon Club Assortment.

I am sooooo loving this collection of warm rich colors and patterns. While I’m not quite ready to give up summer..these ribbons make me dreamy for cool crisp air and warm sweaters and hot spiced cider.

 

This sweet fox image is also welcoming fall with a fun sentiment banner and perfectly coordinated patterned papers.

I especially loved this Tangerine Taffeta Ribbon. It’s just a bit vintagy looking and not super bright like regular orange. I layered on the pretty crocheted lace and topped them off with buttons.

Just look at this garden of fall inspired flowers!!!!!!!!! I am so in love : ) I’ve got this arrangement accented with the tiny acorns and burlap string.

I will be getting at least one more of this collection as it’s just too perfect for all of the projects I’m planning for fall.

Okay that’s all for me. Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

Four Cards for Christmas in July

Posted on by

Hello there Peeps! Well I’m going out with a bang for my Christmas in July projects and sharing four in the same post! Of course I planned to share one every day….but the heat and humidity had me not in the mood to write posts…so this is the only way to get caught up.

This might be the most traditional card I’ve posted so far..and on the last day too!  I’m combining a swell gingham with what I can only describe as sweater pattern. Is there a name for it? I’ve only ever seen it on Christmas sweaters so that’s what I’m going with.
I’ve got more of the sweater pattern here but this time paired with buffalo check. To ensure that the focal images remain the star of the card I’ve layered them over doilies to separate the busy patterns.

Red doilies? Yep I went there too. And just check out that awesome snowflake ribbon..I am swooning.

Last but not least……this card is my favorite of the batch because that image just yells Christmas with the gloves and cocoa and candy cane. Those gorgeous flowers coordinate so perfectly and the leaves bring a welcome pop of green.
Really Reasonable Ribbon~ Snowflakes on Red Satin, Wavy Vertical Stripe Green/White Satin, Red Cherry Blossoms( I died the centers gold) White Tuscany Roses, Scor-Tape, WOC Leaves, Tombow 3D Foam Squares.
BoBunny Patterned Papers~ Merry and Bright Collection
Okay that’s all for me. Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

Christmas Friends Shaker Tag

Well helloooo there Paper Peeps. Ginny here with another installment of Christmas in July and this time I’m using a garden full of flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon along with trims of course.

This is just so cheerful and sweet. I stamped and colored those little images. I do love to color.

Did I mention this is a shaker tag? I’m slightly obsessed with them right now.  Inside are coordinating sequins and Shaved Ice. These little cuties were a bit lost on the busy background pattern so layered in a bit of a snowy border hill for them to stand on.

 

So. Many. Flowers. Isn’t the burlap trim a wonderful texture behind the snowflake printed satin?

I added a bit of tinsel trim for extra sparkle and included a twine loop to hang.

Really Reasonable Ribbon~  Tea Rose in Red 40 mm, White Open Roses 15mm, Sweetheart Blossoms in Red, Spiral Stamens in Red, Burlap Center Stitch Red, Snowflakes on Red Satin, Scor-Tape, Tombow 3D Foam Tabs.

Okay that’s all for me. Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

I’m layering gray and white with the lightest blush pink to create  a creamy color palate.

This charming little snow angel is from the Winter Wishes collection from BoBunny. I’ve given her coat a nice layer of Sugar Glitter Paste so she looks like she’s out in the fresh snow.

These chippies were altered with mermaid tail embossing powder and heat set to look a bit like glass glitter.

Gorgeous flowers from Petaloo with a glittery finish to compliment the frosty effect.

Last but not least….I’ve dabbed a fair bit of the Sugar Glitter Paste on the edges of the papers and tucked in a sweet little bow of seam binding and loops of twine.

Hey Peeps! We’re starting a new Anything Goes with Ribbon or Trim Challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Okay. I’m just gonna say it. This may be the coolest graduation card ever. At the least it’s the coolest one I have ever made. This card was gifted to an awesome young man who is a friend of our youngest Son and a fellow Boy Scout. We are super proud of him. He has a very bright future I’m sure  : ) Well done Zachery!!!

Pirate Graduation Card Polly's Paper Studio 01

Did I mention it’s a shaker? And did I mention that I die cut and embossed those stars with a shiny silver finish? That’s how you an tell how much I like this young man.

Pirate Graduation Card Polly's Paper Studio 02

I wanted the Pirate P to be inside the shaker…but I didn’t want it to get turned over or stuck in a carner so it’s secured in place with fishing line.

That’s one cool dude! we really have great school colors. Easy to find and work with and photograph.

Now it’s your turn to create an Anything Goes project and link up with us to play along.

Wishing all of you a happy and productive day : ) G
