Look my smart bow-tie!

I have a lovely friend who loves bow-ties. And I thought of him when I made this little one with raspberry ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

Isn't charming?  I used my teddy bear as model because it's a surprise. He doesn't know yet I made it for him. I will saw him in late september.

I used raspberries ribbon but with any sweat treat ribbon it could be fun.

I am in hurry to see him with on his shirt! It could be also a brooch (I put a pin beside) or a hair clip. Just some tips for you.

(You could see also a saddle stitch ribbon.)

Some freshness!

It is so hot this moment! With canicula, I would like some freshness and orange is just perfect. I made a card like an alphabet with ribbon. Do you try some? Some brusho vermilion as background and I collect my beautiful orange ribbons.

Vertically, saddle stitch ribbon, orange slices ribbon and gros grain plain.

Horizontally, I just added a mini check ribbon paper flowers and an orange button,

some hand lettering,

an arrow with fiskars punch (thick) to point what is important...

the orange slices ribbon!

And now it's time to make a fresh orange juice and enjoy.

Christmas gift Bags

Good Morning All

It is my turn to post for Crafty Ribbons Design Team.

I had bought these paper gift bags when I was back in the UK earlier this year as I thought they would be good for decorating.

They are made from plain brown paper so I stamped some and sprayed some.

To decorate, I recycled some Christmas cards.

And, of course, used the gorgeous Gros grain printed ribbon from Crafty Ribbons HERE
These have such pretty designs on them, just gorgeous.

A great selection and a great way of recycling last years cards.

You will always find a great selection of printed ribbon to suit any occasion.

To see life in blue!

 Time for a new Crafty Ribbon challenge this week we see life in blue!

I love this spring owl ribbon so I put Mr in a frame of log cabin ribbons. Do you know I am really fond of patchwork?

Light colors on the one hand and dark on the other.  I used a lot of swiss dots ribbon, candy saddle stitch and gros grain saddle stitch plus smile blue message.

Hoping you will receive my smiles all special as you are for me !
