Birthday Blessings...

Here's a pretty card I created using Becca Feeken's new line of stamps from JustRite Papercraft! I love the filigree and fancy lettering in these sets!! I added a bit of rufflles and silk ribbon with a decorative pin and it was finished!

Belli Challenge - Back to School

It's time for a new Belli Challenge #151 and our theme for the next two weeks is "Back to School"! I created a Clean and Simple card using patterned paper from Die Cuts with a View, a Number 2 pencil, gingham bow and a fancy paper clip! A cute card for a teacher, student or principal! Can't get any easier than that!!

Silk Ribbon Blog Candy Hop!

May Arts Silk Ribbon has been a long time favorite product at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I don’t think that’s been any secret! We know many of you love using silk ribbon as well, and to make it a bit easier in color selection and to take the guesswork out of it, Michelle has prepared a color chart for us to use. She compares May Arts Silk Ribbon colors to both Stampin’ Up and A Muse Studios cardstock colors.  I think you’ll enjoy these color charts and find them very useful. Thank you so much, Michelle, for your time and effort in this project! (See charts at the end of the post)

The design team has some projects to show you today, as well as some fabulous SILK RIBBON BLOG CANDY, so be sure to read completely to the end of the posts to see the projects and learn about the blog candy offerings.
