As You Like It Challenge (DT) Favourite Way to Add Ribbon

 Thursday again folks, so that's another new challenge from the

As You Like It Challenge

This time the theme is

Your Favourite Way to Add Ribbon

Is it very wrong of me to say I don't enjoy using ribbon?  It never stays where I put it, unless it's nailed down, and bows are the frippery of the devil.  However, I did make an exception with this rather sexy piece of black ric-rac ribbon, which was nailed down with ultra-sticky double sided tape.

This very 1920s style card was made using

CC Designs 20's Gals

CC Designs 20's Fellas

DoCrafts Foiled Art Deco card stock

Simon Says Stamp - Big Greetings 1

and yes, ribbon - black ric-rac ribbon from stash

Images painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

The sponsor for this challenge is, appropriately

FANTASTIC RIBBONS

I do hope you will be able to join in with the ribbony fun

Without Words (DT) August: Harvest Home

Morning all, and welcome to the first Monday of August.  That means another new challenge from the Word Birds over at Without Words.

The theme for August is Harvest Home - with so much around in the way of fresh fruit and summer vegetables that is what we would like you to use, fruit and/or veg!

Here's my card:

So, the image is, well obviously, it's an apple - from the Tim Holtz Schoolhouse Blueprint set

Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

MFT Stitched Circle die, and Tonic Scalloped Circle and Scalloped Square dies

Papers are a mis-mash of scraps but the fruity one is from an old pad by DoCrafts

Will it keep the doctor away?

Hope to see you joining in the fruity fun over at the challenge - it's a short one this time because of holidays so the closing date is 27th August.  Back to normal for September.

Hugs to all

September

Do you remember, dancing in September?!

I've had that tune in my head (Earth Wind and Fire) for days now, and there is a good reason why.  At the end of this month, Lili of The Valley have another release, and part of that release are the Calendar Fairies.  I have already showcased one version of my sample stamp, November, and although I resisted, I ended up with the full set of Fairies.

Oh you are going to love these little cuties!

Stamp: Fairy September from Lili of The Valley

There will be another couple of Fairies to come from me before the launch next weekend.
