RRR September Blog Hop

           It is that time of the month for the September Really Reasonable Ribbon blog hop! You should have found your way here from my gal Gloria's .   The september ribbons  are right up my alley!  All full of Halloween holiday cheer!  I had so much fun playing with them.  I had a large kraft bag and you know me and bags.  I had to deck it out with Halloween finery.  The ribbons were the icing on the cake.  I simply tied bow after bow at the top of the bag.  Love how the colors contrast and play off eachother.  I also used them on a couple of smaller bags that I tucked in the larger one.  So cheerful in a Halloweeny kinda way!  Now your next stop is Ms. Emily's .  Make sure to check out all the girl's gorgeous creations.  If you get lost just start back at the rrr blog.  Have fun!  hugs, cherry

More Halloween goodies...

Hi there folks! Today I have a quick little project for Really Reasonable Ribbon .   Yes...it is another Halloween project.....I can't stop making these treat bags.  I JUST can't.  This time I double deckered them and put a mini pocket onto a larger pocket.  Yes.  I think I need help.  O ' well I had fun.  I used some fun papers , buttons, glittered chipboard stars, some fun stitched vintage style images and of course oodles of ribbons.  Yummy Halloweeny style ribbons.  I used it for bows and borders and for tails on one of the pockets.  I also had fun using tulle for the bottom of each pocket.  I think my favorite is that sweet Halloween twine.  How cute is that?  Well that is it for me.  I appreciate you visiting me!  Hugs, cherry

Odd ball Pairing

 

 

 

 

Soooo hello there...happy September! I have a couple of odd ball pairings here for you today made for
Vintage Street Market. 



   













I say odd ball because they are completely diffrent projects.  I made a sweet little vintagey plaque made from the sweet bingo cards in the craft pantry staples, some twirly twine, stick pins, garment pins, and a diecut from the ever favorite Dimestore Vintage.  The other project is an oh so cute Halloween treat bag! I used the polka dot paper from the Family fun pack, another bingo card from the craft pantry staples, more twirly twine, and a cute little diecut buckle from the Dimestore collection again.   Just some fun things to hopefully inspire you!  Happy weekend!  cherry

Jar full of spooky...

Happy September! I couldn't let a holiday go by with out filling up the the mason jar from The Rubber Cafe! This time with spooky stars for Halloween. I love how large this stamp is....you can fill it with just about anything. I used up some fun Halloween scraps and stamped my images and gave them some fussy cutting. I added some stitching with combinations of zig zag and straight stitching.

From there it was time to do a little embellishing. I added some glittered up chipboard stars and stacked some buttons on top. I also added some grunged up seambindings and halloween twine and a cute tag. The tag was perfect to add some black soot jellie dots to for added detail. I topped it off with a big chunky button and I was done. Hope you enjoy! hugs, cherry

Sweet treats....

 

 

September has come and will be gone before we know it....so now is the time to start creating up a storm for Fall and Halloween.   I had fun sorting through my Really Reasonable Ribbon and knew I had to play with the new mini pom pom trim .  It is soooo cute!  I made a set of two mini lollipop pockets and adorned them with the pom pom and sticker borders.  I used some old looking images and a few little toppings.  I also used orange seambindings  to add some fullness to each pocket.  I couldn't leave the lollipops plain jane so I added a bit of two tone textured ribbon in the orange with a bit of

black jute wound through the little stamped tags.  It made the lollipops a little more special!

I couldn't stop there though...you know me and halloween.  I decided to also make a plaque.  I fell in love with this pumpkin and created a rosette using my scor-pal. to set the pumpkin on top.  I love making rosettes using the scor-pal ...they turn out perfect everytime.  I used seam bindings again...this time using black and orange but I threw some of my orange into a vat of tea and let it sit overnight.  It came out darker and richer.  It is fun sometimes to alter your ribbons. I Love the outcome and will be doing this again.  So what do you think?  Are you ready to bring the Fall  on?   Lol...hope you have enjoyed! Happy September! hugs, cherry

 

Back to School Theme with RRR

Well........it is September 1st, which means it is time for a fun challenge over at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  This time it is a "back to school theme with ribbon".   I hate to admit it but I can feel a bit of a chill in the air..especially at night.  It is definantly time to start thinking about the new school year, books, new clothes....the list goes on.  Although I hate to see Summer go I love to create for this time of year.  I decided to do a teacher thank-you with old fashion charm.  I used red and cream seambindings and a bit of Penelope crochet lace at the bottom of my card.  Remember you have a chance to win a prize if your creation is picked for the challenge.  It must have ribbon on it and it can be any type of project you want.  Make sure to check out the RRR blog for more inspiration from the other gals playing along!   Happy labor day to you all!  hugs, cherry
