2S4Y and BBTB challenge

This card is based on Laura's sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You. I am also entering this card in the contest at Bitten By The Bug for their Thanksgiving challenge. I have said it before and will say it again, I love challenges, they really get me motivated. On this card I changed the bow up a bit. For some reason a bow is so girly to me so I cut one side and angled the end.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Patterned Paper & Sentiment: DCWV
Ribbon: Unknown
Punch: Fiskars, Creative Memories corner rounder
Ink: Memento
Leaves: Cricut Doodlecharms
Metal Accent: Making Memories

Scraps, scraps and more scraps!

What do you do with all those scraps? I make cards when I make layouts. I find it so easy since you already have the paper out. If I try to organize scraps I will never use them again. Seriously a 12 x 12 piece of paper is way more appealing to me than a sad little scrap piece. Here are a few layouts along with their cards.

Thursday Challenge

For today's challenge, we have the wonderful and ever useful....acrylic. If you are not sure what that is, it is a clear piece of paper that is quite substantial. It is very hard to pick it up on camera, so I each time I took a picture with the acrylic moved, so you could see.

On the first two cards, the butterfly is on top of the acrylic, while everything else is below on the cardstock. By placing the butterfly on top, it created amazing dimension. I attached my acrylic with a purple flower brad (which also dotted the i):







For this fun little card, I used the acrylic to separate my flowers.
Everything is under the acryllic except the yellow flower and its brad. Also the metal swirly holder is on top.
Acrylic creates a wonderful dimension and creates a wonderful clean look. I can't wait to see how you use acrylic.

Tuesday Technique...RIBBON

I love ribbon! It is so versatile. It can add a great deal to a layout or just be a subtle touch. Here I built my whole layout around some adorable spring ribbon I found:

For our fifth anniversary, my husband and I went to Ft. Lauderdale. We took some outstanding sunrise pictures. I really wanted to capture the simple beauty of something we see every day...the sun! I used all the ribbon that matched the paper I had:


Sometimes, ribbon makes the best borders, especially when its themed. I made this page at my moms house last year when I was very limited on scrapbooking supplies. I think the ribbon added a lot:

We would love to see how you use ribbon in your layouts!
