More May Arts FUN!!

It's the last day with May Arts... BUT

we've had so much fun!! AND, there is 

still plenty of time for you to comment along 

each day for your chance to win (full) ribbon 

spools!! and Sweet Stamps!! 

But first I have some fun inspiration 

to show you today, from Savannah... 

How yummy does that look?!?

She used a couple different sweet sets

but, the doughnuts are from the new 

'Perfect Match' set. 

Be sure to drop by Savannah's blog 

for more cool stuff and a better look 

at her yummy card!! Isn't she one 

of the most amazing card creators you 

have ever seen?!!

I created another little birdcage today 

for Easter... this one is much smaller 

than yesterdays but.... maybe a little bit

 cuter!! Of course, I used my Cameo to cut out

all the little shapes. :) 

I put the little bunny from 'Sweet Spring' 

on the inside with some really 

cool thin raffia from May arts... it 

made for great 'stuffing' 

Here is a close up look at the 

butterflies! Of course I added some 

pink gems!! 

And the little bunny is just so 

cute!

Here is the 'Sweet Spring' 

set... you can find it in the 

shop HERE. 

Thank you so much to May Arts 

for teaming up with us this week!!

May Arts Thursday

Thursday?!?! Where has this week 

gone? I think we've been having 

so much ribbon FUN that it just flew right

past... Thanks May Arts!! 

We've got some more amazing 

stuff to show you today! 

Our 'sweet' tooth girls have 

been hard at work coming up 

with some pretty amazing stuff! 

First up is Ellen... she created this 

layout that is SO cool! 

I love Ellen's layouts ... it makes me want 

to pull out all my photos and scrap something...

I just might! 

She used a variety of stamp sets on this layout!

That's what so cool about stamps... they are SO

versatile!! 

You'll wanna drop by Ellen's blog 

and see all the latest with Ellen! 

Check out Emily's gift bag as 

another example of how versatile 

stamps can be! 

Ummm, SO SO cute! AND... I *love* 

the use of the ribbons on this! 

Whew, she really pulled out the ribbon 

stops on this! 

Something tells me that you could TOTALLY

recreate this!! (I know I'm going to try!) 

Be sure to stop by Emily's blog and say 

hello! 

I have another little something to 

show you that I made with my 

Cameo yesterday! Using lots of May 

Arts Ribbon!! 

This birdcage was so easy to make 

and I used 'Sweet Victoria' set to 

decorate it up! 

Of course I cut out a nice 

frame for the silhouette to 

sit in... doesn't she look 

perfect in that frame? 

Lots of May Arts Ribbon and 

even some Buttons!! 

Thanks to May Arts for lots 

of great ribbon and fun! 

We'll be back tomorrow for one 

last May Arts post!!

May Arts Card Round Up

It's Wednesday! Ack! 

This week is flying by! 

We have *loved* partnering with 

May Arts and we don't want it to 

end!! 

At least we have until Friday to 

hang with them... they're just 

so cool! 

Anyway, wanna see some cool inspiration

using some amazing Ribbon!!

Let's start with Stephanie...

This card she created with our 

popular Gnomies set is just the cutest

and so well laid out! 

I love how she used the tag and the 

ribbons... just so darn pretty! 

Be sure to take a moment to say 

hello at Stephanies Blog!!

Next up is Kelley... and once 

again her clean and simple 

cards steal the show!

She combined 'Against the Grain' and 

'Sweet Spring' for this amazing Easter 

card!! 

I'm sure Kelley would love it 

if you stopped by her blog and said

a little hello!! 

Ok, I have a *little* something to 

share today! I made a card with some 

ribbon AND I just so happen created a 

FREE svg cut for you to have fun with 

the design too!! 

'Perfect Match'

Check out the card...

The card has a little flag cut out!

You could position it this way too!

I went ahead and put my sentiment 

inside the card to match with the cut

out BUT, you could put some patterned

paper on the inside and that would 

be great too!!

Go ahead and grab that SVG cut..

May Arts - Sweet Tuesday!

We're back for another day FULL of inspiration!

If you didn't stop by yesterday...we're 

teaming up with May Arts this week for lots 

of ribbon inspiration AND *sweet* give - a - ways!! 

Let's dive right in, shall we?!

First up is Laura with such a colorful and 

fun card... I just love the color combo...

She used the flowers and sentiment from 

'Sweet Victoria' ... isn't it lovely?! It very 

much reminds me of my trip to Spain. LOVE it!

Great job Laura! You can see more of 

Laura at her blog: HERE 

You can see this set at the shop 

HERE

Next up is Laurel with this cute little card... 

Isn't it great how she made the ribbon a tree! 

What a brilliant idea! And, of course those 

bunnies make me smile. 

You can see more of Laurel at her blog HERE..

and be sure to check out the bunnies at 

the shop HERE

It's my turn to show you a little something

with some of my favorite ribbon! 

How about a little tag and bag for 

Father's Day OR for a little graduation 

gift? 

Yep, I tied the ribbon to (hopefully) look like 

a tie. SO easy and it turned out SO cute!! 

Wanna learn how to tie a tie?

Check out the directions...

It's actually really easy once you get 

the hang of it. :) 

Also, I used 'It's a Man's World' for all the 

stamping extras... I love that set! 

Check it out HERE 

I also have a *small* coloring tip for you... 

Did you know that patterned paper is 

a *great* paper for coloring? 

Yep, it gives you the perfect base 

to add shading and come out with 

a pretty cool looking piece... 

See...

So, next time you want a colored 

item ... start with some patterned paper 

and see what happens!! 

Couple reminders before I say too-da-loo...

You have a chance to win one of THREE 

prizes that include 2 SPOOLS of ribbon and
