Some Shabby Mini Journals with Crafty Ribbons

Hello everyone, I have something cool to show you.  I am so excited about these mini journals.  I watched a video on Youtube by Lyriclover810, and she gives a quick tutorial on these, they are so much fun!  I am so glad I had some of these little composition books in my stash, I made five of them in very quick time!

I am using these as my inspiration projects for Crafty Ribbons this week.  Why?  Because I used Crafty Ribbons to embellish these awesome little journals, that's why!  And they turned out so gorgeous!

To finish these shabby mini journanls, I used Lace and ribbons from Crafty Ribbons:

Clermont Cotton Lace in various colors,
Morlaix Cotton Lace in various colors,
Volcan Viscose Lave in various colors, and
Vintage Butterflies Ribbon Script,
Vintage Butterflies Ribbon Bikes Creme,
Vintage Butterflies Ribbon Keys Latte ,
Vintage Butterflies Ribbon French Creme

To find more of this beautiful lace and ribbon (and let me tell you, it is supreme) you can visit the ribbon emporium at Crafty Ribbons, and don't forget to come and join the bi-weekly challenge over at the challenge blog!

Here is the link to the video for this tutorial.  So CUTE!

Time for Some Tea?

I am falling in love with the watercolor pencils, and if you notice in my projects lately, I have been using them quite a bit, lol.  This project for Quick Creations uses the Time for Tea Ponytail clear stamp image, and I have colored her with the Prima WC pencils.

I used paper from the Prima "Princess" paper pad, and flowers from Kaisercraft :)

I really like how this card turned out, a different kind of layout for me, but I will definitely try this again :)

OOooooooo Butterflies!

How can you say no to beautiful butterflies, and after the long winter we've had, I am so looking forward to seeing them in real life :)  For Quick Creations this week, I made this Happy Day card and I really love how it turned out.

I used the Wild Rose Studio Butterfly Lace Die to create this card.

I cut two of the dies, and shaded one in the center and one on the outside edges with my Stampin' Up Island Indigo ink pad.  Then I glued them together in the center and popped up the two of them up with a dimensional adhesive.  The doilies are from Recollections.  I used one of the sentiments from the Time for Tea Ponytail Rubber Stamp, and the flowers are from Kaisercraft.  The papers are Prima "Butterfly" 6 x 6 paper pad.  I also used the Wild Rose Studio Butterfly Burst Die.  Most of these products (except for the Recollections Doilies) can be found in the Quick Creations online shop.  I have linked them all for you :)
