4th of July Creative Cutting Challenge

Hello Peeps!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Day!!
Today I would like to share with you a tag that I made for our 
4th of July Challenge at the
Creative Cutting Challenge Blog.

The Americana images are from

 Gecko Galz....and all my ribbons and trims are from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used Cindy's Patriotic file which you can get here.

Here is a close up of the SVG I used.  I decided to create a shadow layer for it, so it will open like a card. 

  Added the buttons tied with Americana Baker's twine.

Here is a look at the images on my tag.

Here is the back.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

I can't wait to see what you create and share with us at the

Creative Cutting Challenge.!!

Thank you for visiting!!

Vintage Lady Card with Gecko Galz and Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello Peeps!!
If you are a regular follower of mine you know I have taken the summer off from crafting to get some things done around the yard and house :0)  Today it is my turn to post at Really Reasonable Ribbon....and I have a vintagey card that I would like to share with you.

Nothing makes a card more vintagey than some beautiful lace, ribbons and flowers from 

Really Reasonable Ribbon and Fabby Vintage Images from Gecko Galz!!

 The Digi flowers are from Optic Illusions.

I used some foam tabs to elevate my focal image, all edges were distressed with Ranger's Frayed Burlap distress ink.  I even used a touch of Martha's Yard Art Glitter. 

Above is a close up of the adorable little bows that I made with the pink polka dot organza and my Bow it all tool!  You can also see the Bay Leaf Seam binding peeking out under my focal image.  I used my Perfect layer rulers to create the mats for the piece.  

I used two of my favorite laces from Really Reasonable Ribbon...the Pink Crochet and 1/4 natural crochet laces!!  LOVE them!!  I also tied a bow out of 1/2 inch light pink wrinkle ribbon and topped it with a deep ivory mulberry rose!

In the upper right of my card I added a simple antique button tied with cotton candy baker's twine.  I love the Bay Leaf Seam binding  bow!!

One last look at the whole card :0)

Thank you for visiting!!

I am so excited today is our first day of Summer Vacation.  The boys are sleeping in and I am headed out to my yard to do some much needed "clearing of the weeds"...lol.
When we first moved in I thought having these large long flower beds would be fun, well 10 years later I have tons of weeds and some of the flowers are just coming up everywhere.  Two years ago I thought I would have a landscape company come in and move some things.  Problem was I was not home when they came...so things are not quite the way I like.....so my plan for this summer is to put all right...lol.
So..you may not see me much here on my blog or in the online communities...but I am still around and will be popping in here and there.

Thank you for visiting!!

Hugs!!
