Really Reasonable Ribbon October Blog Hop

The blog is jumping this week! I still have my Blog Candy going, HERE. I will draw the winner on October 16th. But today...


It is ribbon time again! I am here with the Really Reasonable Ribbon October Blog HopYou should be coming to my blog from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog. (For the complete blog list, scroll to the bottom of the post.) After visiting me, hop over to the spectacular Ginny's Blog next! 

Here is a peeky at the RRR September Ribbon Club Assortment. This assortment is called Traditional Christmas Mix.
I really do LOVE traditional Christmas colors! I am very "old school" when it comes to Christmas decor! It is even better when the ribbon perfectly matches the NEW Graphic 45 Christmas Collection, St. Nicholas
I went back to my "roots" and created a Gloria's Kitchen Sink Card...you know, where I glue everything except the kitchen sink to the front of the card! This beauty is 5" x 6" and is decorate inside and out. I cannot get enough of Christmas and old-fashioned Santa and plaid ribbon! 
I layered the 5/8" Plaid Christmas Traditions Ribbon with  5/8" Crochet Lace. Then I made a big ol' bow out of the plaid ribbon. I wish I had a huge roll of that ribbon! It is so pretty! 

I added some "junk" to the bow for that Christmas sparkle! The G45 chipboard items are perfect for my card front. 
Of course I had to decorate the inside of the card, too. 
I added more ribbon and some metal bells that I have been hoarding for AGES. There is even a pocket to hold a gift card.
Thanks for stopping by today! Now, hop over to Ginny's Blog to see what she has for you!

  5. Beautiful card. I love the plaid ribbon. It reminds me of when my mother and I worked at a craft shop and she and I made many bows during Christmas. This was eons ago. It cost the consumer a whole quarter plus the cost of the ribbon. Plaid was the most popular and people so loved it.
