Black, White, & Red... classic combo

I had to stay home today & rest after a little health issue earlier this week... so, I sought a little inspiration from Freshly Made Sketches. (I am totally fine. now... just resting up.) You can visit them HERE for the inspiration or to add your own link.





Here's my contribution to the sketch this week.

Up close & personal with the sentiment

SO SORRY FOR THE SIDEWAYS SHOTS OF EVERYTHING... Blogger really doesn't like to work with me sometimes.... and today is just one of those days that we can't agree on how things should be oriented. *sigh*

I am also linking up to Nina Dee's I Heart Ribbon Challenge 15- Hearts & Ribbon. 

I am also adding it to the gallery over at Pals Paper Arts.  The challenge this week is all about red for PPA 128. 

Happy creating! :)

LOTS of ribbon!

**3rd post of the day!**

Deesigns by Nina Dee has an I Heart Ribbon Challenge... you know I'm going to love that, right?  Of course!!  This week, it's about using LOTS of ribbon.  NOT a problem for me... I have LOTS to choose from.  (I know this for SURE because I spent HOURS today reorganzing it all.)

My dear friend Becky showed me how to make these cards.  I used my cricut to cut otu the heart and then laid out ribbon to "fill up" the cut out part.  To cover up the 'messy' inside, I just added a piece of white cardstock on the inside.  Here are a few I made... all with ribbon scraps I had!  The entirety of every 'heart' is made of ribbon, along with the accent ribbon on the sides.  A few buttons top off the cards. I left the inside blank so I could stamp the appropriate sentiment when I need to pull one of these out!

I love your comments!  Thanks for taking a peek!
