My last project for the SNS DT…
I had a marvelous time over here and wishes the new team as much fun as I had!! Thanks Rhea for the opportunity!
I bought glaze balls and put some flowers in it, some ribbon. Stamped the outside with versamark and crystal glitter.
Ribbon tied on top and finished is it!

This kit is just so much fun to play with! I love the color combo of pink & green. I had the heart Bazzill cardstock in my stash for some time. And, I hand cut the Basic Grey Romani to relax. Took me 5 hours then another hour to finish this! Lately I have been going for simple layouts but I must say I 100% enjoyed this one!

A huge thanks to all the talented designers we have had the pleasure of working with in November and December at Savvy-n-Sassy.
Holly
HI all! I am Holly. I am proud to have made this Guest design team spot. I have been scrapping for 5 years.. The addiction was instant. How could it not be? I loved taking pictures and collecting frames before I started. So when I heard about scrapbooking I headed straight for the door to get myself paper and those deco scissors!
By being a Guest Designer I hope to motivate and inspire all of you to try something new! It is such an honor to know that I have taught someone to try something they wouldnt have thought to try!

Amanada
Hello! My name is Amanda and I live in Ontario, Canada with my sports junkie hubby of three years and our wonderful almost two-year-old son. We are expecting our second child in June 2008. They are the subject of a lot of my layouts, even the new baby!I was the guest designer this past July so I am honoured to be featured again. I loved working with these ribbons and love getting my ribbon kits in the mail and getting creative and coming up with new, innovative ideas. I loved working with such great products. I’ve been in the company of some great designers and a lot of talent.I recently was accepted onto the design team here at Savvy N Sassy so I am very excited about that. I truly appreciate the opportunity to lead and inspire you all!

Becca
Hi! I’m Becca! I’m a mom to 3 little ones and I have been married to my husband, Erick, for over 7 years. I have been scrapping for several years, but only seriously for about 2. I love having this creative outlet that I can call my own, yet share it with friends and family. I have made many great friends through scrapping. I love the opportunities and fun that is available to scrappers online. I can combine my love of scrapbooking and the internet together! Doesn’t get better than that. I am so excited to be one of the guest designers for SnS! What a great opportunity this has been for me! Thanks SnS!

I’m super excited about the new year and all the new things that I want to do. One of my resolutions this year is to work on recording day-to-day activities and in this vein, I’ve decided to host a photo-a-day challenge in January along with SavvynSassy! Details will be posted on the forums soon. 
In the meantime, I wanted to share with you a little project I’ve been working on and give you all the directions to make your own if you want. (I drew inspiration from a large year-in-review album by Irma Gabbard in the latest issue of Scrapbooks, Etc.–just made it smaller and changed around a lot of things. )
Supplies:
Step One: Create or purchase a 4×6 chipboard mini album with at least 31 pages.
Step 2: Create a Ribbon Flower
Simply loop and fold ribbons until you get the amount of “petals” you want. Then secure with a few stitches or a couple of staples through the center.
Step 3: Peel protective plastic off your acrylic and apply letter stickers to the front, being careful to avoid fingerprints on the back
Step 4: Punch holes through acrylic
Step 5: Line up acrylic holes and mark on the patterned paper where you want them
Step 6: Punch holes in patterned paper and stick brads through both layers
Step 7: Adhere patterned paper to chipboard cover (you may need to use glue dots on the corners)
Step 8: Apply chipboard letters to the project (you will probably need to use a wet adhesive such as diamond glaze or tacky glue)
Step 9: Make “A Photo Journal” label and apply
Step 10: Run stitches through the button and adhere to the ribbon flower
Step 11: Attach ribbon flower to project and add a rirac stem (I like glue dots for this)
Step 12: Tie a small bow and adhere to flower stem
And you’re done! Now you have a little book to add your photos to.
This project can easily be adapted for a brag book, a year-in-review album, or just about anything. Because a 4×6 photo will fill each page, the book goes together incredibly fast.
Supplies: Chipboard; Cardstock-Hollo’s; Bind-It-All and coils; American Crafts paper and letter stickers; Heidi Swapp chipboard numbers; Dymo label maker and tape; Various ribbon; The Paper Studio brads; Dill Button; DMC floss; Acrylic tag-artbar.etsy.com

I used the green ribbon from this kit as well as some sheer red satin edged organza from SNS to finish off this 4×6 album. I will be taking 24 photos very shortly from a day in our lives to add to this project!

Sometimes it’s the little things that finish off a project just perfectly… like these great Black and White Iron On Applique Flowers.
You can use them to ground a layout, add a feminine touch, or even gussy them up a bit and use them on a card like the one I did here. (Using some letter stamps with my versa mark pad and white embossing powder, I stamped the word ‘friend’ around each of the petals.) The possibilities are endless!

I am not big on doing ‘themed’ layouts, but I have to say with this months Sassy Ribbon Kit, it came together pretty quickly. I still have to add my photo once it’s developed, but, I did have a certain picture in mind when I created it! I also used Prima Esprit on this layout which are available in the SnS store.
One of the greatest things about Savvy N Sassy kits, is their versatility. With one kit I was able to go from a traditional green and white Christmas layout, to a pink, blue and green winter layout. Gotta love that!

Although I used the bright and cheerful December Sassy Ribbon Kit for these projects, you can use any of the awesome SnS ribbon. The gift bag was made by covering up a simple brown paper bag. I cut 5.5″x7″ pcs. of cardstock for the front and back, and embellised with my patterned paper and ribbon. (The second smaller one is designed to hold a gift card.)
