Love 'n lollipops
I received my first kit this month and boy was I happy with Love ‘n lollipops! It’s a kit that fits right in with my pictures of London.
So I picked a picture that says for me: “This is London” and made this layout.
London
The journaling:
Typically London. The red telephone boxes.
I didn’t see anyone use them, but only for tourists making pictures.
Love,
Miranda

Good morning!
I had the good fortune this month to work with the Patchwork Quilt ribbon kit. I must say at first I was a little worried, these are not my colors, but once I got a hold of it the ideas just flowed. It matches so much and it’s a nice way to get out of the January blahs.
Here is some of what I created.
This first project is a card gift set I created using a Maya Road tin that came with my sheers. These fit standard cards so I did a set of four to go with them. I used Fancy Pants Arctic Chill paper.
And a close up of the tin
For my next project I used Basic Grey Urban Prairie. This ribbon kit matches it perfectly. I decided to alter a tin to hold some ribbon for in my scrap room
And finally I did a couple of layouts
This one is using Sassafras Lass, Life at the pole papers
And We Are Memory Keepers Nonsense
A very lovely kit!
Posted in How-To's, tagged 1.5" grosgrain, ribbon how to on January 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Today we are going to make our ribbon look like patterned paper. I am using 1.5″ grosgrain ribbon and 8.5″x11″ cardstock. The idea is not to use any patterned paper!
First: The easiest way to do this is to have an even number to divide by, so cut your cardstock down to 8″ {to make it an even 8.5″, just add the scalloped frame}. Now, measure across your cardstock every 2″. I am using 4 colors, if you are using more or less, than adjust accordingly.
Second: The ribbon is 1.5″ thick and we are doing two rows so measure 3″ up from the bottom of the cardstock. Now make a grid.
Third: Cut your ribbon strips in 2″ pieces and arrange according to the pattern you like.
Fourth: Adhere. I followed the grid with my ATG gun just inside the lines. We are sewing at the end so allow for some stitching.
Fifth: Trim any fraying that may take place and now we are ready to stitch. Add photos and embellish and you are done! You have ribbon that looks like pattern paper!

This kit is beautiful, and works not just for Christmas projects but for anything! You can get it right here.
Here are a couple of pages I did with it.
Summertime Joy
For this layout I tied ribbon through the buttons and added a rubon to the ribbon strip at the bottom of the page.
MiMi & Bri
Here I added a strip of ribbon to the page, then layered it with the Chatterbox felt sticker.
JOY
I just love this Pink Paislee transparency! I added some Fancy Pants chipbaord and this layout was quick and easy!
Cards
The 2 cards on the left are using the Pink Paislee Tinsel Town collection which is just so pretty! The postcard sheet is perfect for cards. And I love nontraditional Christmas colours.
For the Merry Christmas card on the right I tried a few new things… I used a plastic slide mount, covered it in microbeads and Utee and heat embossed it, as well as inking up the metal charm.
And for the Thank You card I used up some very old Upsy Daisy from my stash paired with some Kaiser pearls.
Christmas House
I altered this little chipboard house using the Art Freckles December Vintage Christmas kit. The lace made perfect gingerbread trim!

Happy Holidays Wall Hanging
I received a Sassafras Lass desktop diorama to cut out and make in a magazine and they had a challenge going to turn it into something else…so this is what I made. I used an old Junkitz board, the Life at the Pole line, some Stickles and gems and the beautiful lace from the kit.
