With this Ring - CC Challenge

CropChocolate is having a huge online crop to celebrate both their Merger with OhMyCrafts and National Scrapbook day!! 

Here is my entry for the "With this ring" challenge in which we were required to make a project with an embellishment that makes a shape. 

IE I chose buttons to make a heart.

CC Product used : 6x6 Madison Avenue, walnut stain distress ink, EP brown cardstock base. Non CC : vintage buttons, snug hug (dyed with the distress ink), baker's twine, a spellbinders die, studio G stamps.

1-2-3 U R Beautiful - CropChocolate Challenge

I was in a real rut last night trying to make a piece for the CropChocolate.com challenge this week -- using a handmade flower. I think it was because I had out the wrong paper... 

anyways.. this morning I pulled out the This and That graceful by EP and set to work -- the flower is made from bazzill/core'dinations cardstock. 

Also used: black cardstock, zig glue pen, hot glue, faux stamen, vintage photo distress ink. 

Good Evening/Morning!

Hope all is well in your crafty space :) Today I'm showing off my latest May Arts challenge submission (Which I'm also using to throw my name into the Hobby Baby design team call hat featured HERE on their blog!) 

We were sent the cutest set of brightly colored ribbons to work with, and I had INTENDED to make more of a topiary piece... however one of Bethney's Ribbonistas beat me to it.. so I went with this instead :)

It's the cutest little sit on my mantle home decor piece ever! The nest is actually a large sponge that I carved out in the shape of a nest. I covered it with moss from the dollar store.. and got some eggs on sale after Easter from Michaels. I cut my ribbon into small pieces and wrapped it around my three eggs. Tied a couple bows, too! The banner is hanging from a couple of spare pencils with wooden beads.. and is made from KnCo paper which has been distressed on the edges. The HOME is from a set of smooth chipboard thickers. They came that gorgeous green color :) 

Can't wait to see what HobbyBaby has to offer in it's upcoming remodel!

Vintage Valentine

Not sure where the mixup happened.. but tomorrow my Vintage Valentine will be posted on the May Arts blog.
