Timeless Tuesday With Flourishes


I am thrilled to be joining the Friends of Flourishes Design Team with my first Timeless Tuesday post today! I just learned earlier this week while I was on vacation that I would be a part of this fabulous team, and I am still visiting my son in North Carolina, so today's post will be sharing two cards I have previously made that fit our challenge this week. Next week I will have something brand new to share~!

Our hostess for this week is Broni and she is asking for creations in blues and greens. Here are two of my favorites:
My first card is made using one of the sentiments and sentiment frame from Sweet Violets

My second card uses Old Fashiond Florals.

I am excited to share with you each Tuesday, and look forward to next week when I will be home to create something new~!

Be sure to visit the rest of the Timeless Tuesday Team to see what they have made!

    


May Hop With Really Reasonable Ribbon!

It's time to hop with Really Reasonable Ribbon! This month's Ribbon Club Assortment is a fun collection of red, white and blue for all of those patriotic cards as well as many other occasions. This is our first hop with the new Design Team and I hope that you will join us today and hop along!
If you arrived here from Bonnie's blog, you are in the right place! If you just happened along, be sure to start at the beginning at the RRR Blog (I am the third stop, so you don't have far back to go!) so you don't miss out on the awesome projects, fun news, and a prize from Really Reasonable Ribbon! Our hop goes live at 6:30 AM CST.

Each 13th of the month it's the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog hop where we highlight the Ribbon Club! This month, Bonnie's choices for the April ribbon club package are just so fresh! So many great ribbons to use with spring themes -- plus lots of other occasions!
If you really love ribbon and would like to have a wonderful assortment of ribbons sent to you automatically each month, just join the Really Reasonable Ribbon Club! Monthly ribbon club assortments are selected and pre-packed to reflect a specific theme, color, or holiday season. The assortments vary from month to month, but an average assortment has 5-9 different ribbon styles and consists of 10-15+ yards of ribbon.  You will love it! Tell Bonnie that Judy sent you!

I used two of the ribbons in the assortment this month: Betsy White Crochet Lace and Red Swiss Dots Grosgrain. Everything is held together with 1/8" and 1/4" Scor-Tape. My designer paper is Summer Fresh by Simple Stories.

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to comment along the way at all my amazing teammates' blogs for the awesome prizes from Really Reasonable Ribbon
