The Stamp Spot :: Ribbon, ribbon, ribbon

This is the card I made for my post over at The Stamp Spot this week!

I struggled quite a bit with this card and eventually was kinda happy with it... just not as much as I'd hoped! anyway... I used up my ribbon and in a couple of different ways! I love that thin gingham ribbon... think I'll have to get myself some more when the store is open again! :D

Anyway thanks for stopping by! will try and have something posted up again tomorrow ...

AND I just wanted to thank everyone who has left me the sweetest comments recently! :D
You are all darlings!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Marlene has a great challenge... If you have not seen Marlene's blog yet go and have a look - It's a great one ... you can check it out here!

Here is my card for the challenge - It is My Dad's birthday today and I made this card for him last week - it has green + ribbon on it so I'm entering it into Marlene's challenge :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

yellow striped ribbon bow card

I used MORE ribbon and some eyelets to make this card...as well as some brightly coloured card... punched the eyelets first, then threaded the ribbon through - tied the bows off and stuck the stripes of card on! It could be finished off with some text too... but I will wait!

Crafty stuff and a process diary of sorts

I have been inspired to start this new blog...I will make no promises about how often I will post but I'd like to keep a record of all the cards (and other crafty stuff) that I make... so I will endeavour to post photos and descriptions and who knows what else....WHY??? 

Perhaps I could blame years of keeping a VAPD (Visual Arts Process Diary) during school and uni .... I thought it might be fun and good to look back on things later.

I was given quite a few scrapbooking, card-making supplies for Christmas including this great set of ribbons so I'm looking forward to getting stuck into making stuff!!!
