We have a new challenge up at Frosted Designs this morning and look who is sponsoring us this week!

The winner of this week's challenge will receive 3 sets of her choice of digi images. These are simply amazing!
We want to see you use some ribbon on your projects this week. I decided that I would create a Snowman Soup gift for my bff's little girl.

The ribbon at the top of this jar was white, I inked it to match the background paper I used, which by the way is Cutting Cafe. The little poem is one of the images in this set too! I used a different piece of ribbon to attach it to the jar.

Look at this frosty little guy....

He and the Snowman Soup were also part of this set of digis. I used some stickles to add the sparkle to his hat and snowflakes. I added just a bit to the letters in "soup" but it is difficult to see in this photo.

This is the top of the lid....

This snowflake was yet one more in the set, and it was already colored!!!! I just punched it out and added a bit of sparkle.
As I said, this is going to be a part of my gift set for my bff's DD. I'm looking for a darling snowman shaped mug to a accompany it, filled with some candy canes (to stir the soup) and her little bits of "diva stash" (nail polish, lip gloss, and jewelry from Justice).
I'm quite certain that this will be a huge hit with her.

Now show us your creative uses for ribbon and you could win some of these fabby images too!
Blessings,

****SECOND POST-SCROLL DOWN FOR PRACTICAL SCRAPPERS POST****
Are you ready for a recipe challenge at Digital-Ink Co? That's what we have this week. You will use some fabric, glitter, button and a bow as your recipe for our challenge. Your fabric can consist of ribbon, felt, fabric material of any kind. This is a fun recipe and be as creative as can be! The DT had the opportunity to work with images from the fabulous Jules of Jules Junk. I had picked this adorable bear up during the Falloween Blog Hop, it was part of the Breast Cancer Awareness set. I really wanted to use this bear and I pinned a real pink ribbon over the one that is part of the image. Of course, this Life Delights pp was just calling out to be used on this card. Don't forget the 50% off sale is going on until the end of this week. Now is the time to purchase some of the fantastic images from the shoppe. Once again, the DT has some fabby cards for you to browse. You can see them here or click the links in my side bar. Be sure to leave them some love!

2 Red Bananas Challenge....

Good Saturday Morning,
Just a quick post this morning, this one is from the 2 Red Bananas Cuttlebug Challenge. The image is from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff and it was FREE! When I purchased my baby set the other day, she had emailed me about her July promotion, spend $5 and get a free image. I just adore the way this little bird is looking to the flower. I knew I wanted to use this image with the Creme Brulee cardstock. The embossing folder I chose to use was the Stylized Flowers. I then lightly sanded it to reveal some of the white core. I really wanted my blue birdie to be the main focus, so I used Bazzill blue cardstock. The bling brads are Bazzill too. The ribbon is from stash and I used my colored pencils on the image.
Have a great weekend! :)

Card Patterns 23

Here is my second girl card. On this card, I used the Card Patterns sketch 23. I love this sketch and knew it would be perfect for one of these girl cards. I used Crate Paper, an image from Squigglfly, Basic Gray chipboard, Martha Stewart glitter, CTMH White Daisy cs, and Kimberly's colored pencils, the ribbon is from stash...not really sure that I like the ribbon, but felt it needed something 3D on the image.




Blessings,
