Really Reasonable Ribbon August Blog Hop


Welcome! The August Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop starts at the RRR Blog!

You should be coming to my blog from Ginny's Blog. (For the complete blog list, scroll to the bottom of the post.)

Here is a peeky at the RRR August Ribbon Club. This pink/brown/cream assortment makes me think of ice cream and chocolate and strawberries! I love the lace!


I decided to go "girly vintage" this month. I was inspired by the Mojo Monday sketch #300 from a few weeks ago, so I sort of followed that. I like to have a lot of layers and prints on my cards. I picked out a few prints from several different paper pads and match them up. 


I recently reorganized my stamps, and I have one bin that I call "glamour girls fashion coffee tea chocolate"! This stamp made its way into that bin. I think she's so cute, so I colored her all in pink, blinged her up and....ta da.


I used Copics, of course. I have not used Copics in a while. I have big plans to color some images while on vacation (Aug. 9-16) so as you read this I may be at the lake coloring my heart out! {grin}

I added some bling to her hair. I added just a bit of the lace from the ribbon club to brown dot paper. Just that touch of vintage to tie into my flower.


I created a bow with the brown diamond satin. I then made a flower with some of the lace. I just ran a running stitch through one side of the lace, pulled it together and knotted it off. EASY. I am not a handy with a needle, so if I can do this, so can you! I attached the flower to the bow, then glued a rhinestone to the top of the lace. And you have a vintage, sparkly flower embellishment.


I also added some rhinestones to the inside of the card. I "dotted the i" in "pink" with a gem and also placed one on the right edge of the pink paper strip. 

Enjoy the hop! Make sure to leave a comment! I love your comments!
