Really Reasonable Ribbon September Blog Hop

Welcome! The September 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 September Ribbon Club. If you know me at all, you know that fall is my favorite season! And fall colors are my favorites! I love the brown, rust, cream, and tan in this Autumn Collection!

I love to create fall and Thanksgiving-themed cards! The colors are so warm and inviting. Here in southern California, we don't have crisp fall days, but....I still love to pretend that it is fall. {grin} I have been living here for over 8 years, but I still pine for autumn. We won't have any fall weather until sometime in December or January! {Talk to me in January, when most of the USA is in the deep freeze and I sing a far different tune!}

I combined 5 different paper companies and a host of other items to create this card! I love me some paper! 

The topping on the pumpkin pie is this fantastic bow! I tied two bows (with my trusty Bow Easy) and stacked them on top of each other. I used the the Tangerine Diamond Satin and Cappuccino Satin for my bows. 

I created a flower with some of the Chloe Natural Crochet Lace from the Ribbon Club Collection. To make the flower, you need about 5 inches of the lace and some thread. Sew a running stitch along the top of the lace and then pull it together and knot the thread. Easy! This time I pulled my lace so that the gathered part formed a tiny "rose" shape. I then glued the lace to the bows.

I used my new Stampin' Up stamps and dies for the sentiment. The stamps have a "weathered" look. Love!

 Lots of yummy layers. This one will need a special mailing envelope and extra postage!

Here is a peeky at the inside. Thanks for stopping by!
