Claire C made this adorable card and showcased ribbon in a few different ways.

Anita did an absolutely amazing job of this layout! She has so many wonderful details!

Mikha's card is also packed with detail! I just adore the cute little image!

Challenge 113 Highlights

There were only two entries for this weeks challenge, which is OK. I know it is a busy time of year for everyone. So I am going to highlight both entries again, because everyone needs to see these creations up close.

Challenge #114 - Ribbon

Amanda

Ribbon is definitely one of my favorite scrapbook embellishments on both cards and layouts. I couldn't decide which to do for my example so I did one of each! I apologize for the poor photos - the weather and lighting just has not been conducive for good photo taking!

This here is going to be one of my Christmas cards this year - I used a sparkly tape ribbon under the snowflakes and then a grey ribbon for the bow.

For my layout I used a ribbon under my photo mat that is designed to look like a measuring tape. I used it in a bow here also.

Julie

I love this sentiment from a Darkroom Door set of Ribbon Stamps

The sunrise photo is of a beach close to where I live taken in summer when the air was already simmering.

The ribbons are all stamped onto little bits and pieces of hand made papers.

The tag is a large one designed for hanging.

I love the way ribbons add texture and dimension to the projects ! My favorite use is to fold the ribbon onto a glue line and to hold it by some machine sewing.

Barb

I have lots of ribbon in my stash, but I rarely remember to take it out and use it, so this was a perfect challenge for me.

For this challenge I used some rick rack that has been laying around for quite some time. All in all, this layout came together very quickly with a few scraps of left over paper and left over embellishment bits.

Tammy

I have a really big ribbon bucket that I like to draw from.  I'm deep into creating my December daily right now and just used a few pieces of ribbon for this page.  I added some to the tag for dimension as well as to the main page for a little color pop.

Lynne

I used ribbon around for the flower petals and to add an accent to the bottom of the layout.

Challenge #113 - Sport

Hi everyone.  Lynne here.   Welcome to the next challenge.  To be honest, this challenge was a stretch for me and I am the one that thought of it.   I do not have a sport-minded family (although I am a baseball fanatic). but a picture of my nephew and great nephew fishing in the canal behind their home inspired me.   I hope you gather inspiration too.

I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.  Have fun!

Julie

I have taught many sports. I have, over the years coached many sports teams. I played to a district level when I was a girl. However my unbridled enthusiasm has always been for Dance!

For me dancing doesn't feel like exercise. Dance offers a total body workout, using all of the major muscle groups and providing heart-healthy benefits.The music loud and the dance crazy.

I feel better just thinking about it!

My art today is a canvas - an affirmation canvas with double meaning.

Now where are my maracas?

This year, my oldest son started to play rugby, but I have no photo yet, so I decided to embellish a box to keep his medals ! (The photo inside is an old photo that I used while waiting for a photo from his rugby games).

Barb

I managed to find some photos this week from the opening ceremonies of the last Winter Olympic Games that were hosted here in Canada. I got some pics of the family sitting around watching it on TV. - and yes, I'm that far behind in my scrapping.

Highlights - Challenge #112 - Use Butterflies

Thanks to everyone for participating in this weeks challenge. Here are our highlights for the week:

Leslie Turner

I love that her card is a circle and the girl in the middle is just gorgeous.

Sweetroses

The detail on this card just blows me away!

This project is an Exploding Box!! I've never seen one of these before!! I really like the layering used here.

Thanks to everyone who participated this week. And for those featured here,  don't forget to grab your badge!!

Challenge 111 - Project hightligt

I don't know about you, but I loved seeing what the Creative Team did with the ad inspiration challenge. I also love what Julene did with it. I love the bold diagonal striped border and how it adds so much movement to her page.  Great page, Julene!

Challenge #112 - Butterflies

Here in Southern Ontario we are quickly moving into winter. This week we had some snow that has stayed with us for a number of days. I'm hopeful it will be a white Christmas this year.

My scrapbooking seasons tend to fall a bit behind the actual season because I'm always late in printing my photos so this weeks' challenge is to use some butterflies on your project.

I did this layout about my youngest daughter. She'd just had her haircut in preparation for going back to school and was just about to turn 12.

Milena

Tammy

I had bought this butterfly die cut from Stampin Up and hadn't really had a chance to use it yet.  This was a perfect opportunity.

Julie
My Butterfly Canvas is all recycled or uses bits left over from other projects.

Amanda

Butterflies are a must on many of my feminine and/or wedding layouts. I used my favorite butterfly punch from Creative Memories to create a few butterflies for this layout of my dear friend on her wedding day. I also used a butterfly sticker that I have had in my stash for a long time!

 

Barb

 

Once again, I'm a little late to this party. Better late, than never, though, right?  For this challenge I used some chipboard butterflies to emellish this page of my mom and I.
