Really Reasonable Ribbon June Blog Hop


Welcome! The June 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 June Ribbon Club. It's a hot, summer-time color combo! This one is called "Brazilian Summer Mix"! 


People, can I just say, this ribbon club deal is the best $9 you will ever spend! That is a lot of ribbon for the price. Each month you get a lovely, hand-selected, hand-cut, hand-packaged bag of ribbon. What more could a girl (or crafty guy) want?! {wink}


I went out of my "zone" this month for this card. I am not much for "hot" colors, and this yellow and pink ribbon from the June Ribbon Club is certainly HOT! I matched it up with paper that was a bit lighter in tone, but still had the hot pinks and yellows.


I tied a double bow. This was a bit difficult since the grosgrain is so thick. My knot was kind of "bulgy." I added a button to cover it up! 


I love the gray paper and dark gray ink with all of this hot hot hot color! Gray is the new "black" I guess. {smirk}



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