Really Reasonable Ribbon October Blog Hop


Welcome to 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!

At the end of the hop, comment on the RRR Blog post, answering the question listed, for a chance to win the October Ribbon Club Assortment shown below. (The Design Team appreciates your comments, too!)

The October Ribbon Club Assortment is called Christmas Assortment. If you are a long-time reader, you will remember that October is always the month for the Really Reasonable Ribbon Christmas Assortment! This year we have a traditional red/white/green assortment! I love the traditional colors! 
I sure love Christmas, and vintage Christmas decor is my "thing"! I made a 6" x 6" home decor panel, but you could make a card instead. I was thinking it would be fun to have a bunch of these chipboard panels to decorate various shelves and tables of my house. If I can only find time to make more of them! 
I used Authentique Nostalgia papers, because they are so very vintage! I wrapped a 6" x 6" piece of thick chipboard with the reindeer paper. I then wrapped the Red Shimmer Satin Ribbon around as if wrapping a package. I then used more paper to cover the back of the panel to hide the messy bits.

I matted the image, cut from the same paper, with black cardstock. I then wrapped a 4 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of chipboard with some striped paper and attached the image to the chipboard. That makes this project a bit more dimensional than if it was just a card. 
I cut a doily from white mulberry paper and then cut a large snowflake out of white glitter paper. I stacked these die cut shapes to make a background for my ribbon and flower cluster. 

I crated bows with the Emerald Gingham Ribbon and the Red and White Houndstooth Ribbon. I glued the ribbons to the panel and then added flowers and other holiday do-dads. I brushed a bit of glitter over the whole area.  

Thanks for looking! Now, hop over to Ginny's Blog to see what she has for you!

Gloria - YOU ARE HERE!

PS - I am asking for prayers for my amazing daughter who just had her 23rd birthday, and is off to Israel today with her grandmother for a 10-day tour. When she gets home again she will be moving back to San Jose and starting her new job (November 5th)! I am so thankful that she will be able to come home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I won't have many weeks to miss her!

    1. Thank you! My daughter and I have a wonderful relationship now that she's an adult. I really miss her and while I am happy for her travels and for her life in another city, I REALLY miss her! My almost 27 yo son lives an hour away and the 18 yo son still lives here full time, but there is only so much computer game and role playing talk I can stand to listen to. LOL
