Aaahh, what a lovely way to spend a day! First a card to share then some waffle! Hee hee.
I CASED this one from the Summer Mini Catalogue - the card on page 15. Loved how they used the ribbon behind the punch hearts. Nifty idea!
I've used Bashful Blue and Choc Chip 1" ribbon and the gorgeous new spotty Red Grosgrain. Great way to use up little offcuts of ribbon too.
Other supplies for the card:
For Everything Stamp Set, Bashful Blue, Choc Chip, Real Red and Whisper White cardstock, Heart to Heart Punch plus the Scallop Edge punch, Mat Pack and Paper Piercer.
Now for some waffle!
Hannah(7) and my mum headed off today to see Angelina Ballerina at the theatre.
Jack (3) and I had some fun playing jigsaws and reading Dr Seuss before he headed off for a nice LOOOOONNNGGG nap.
Which left me with a couple of hours to fluff about!
I made some cards, photographed a bunch I'd made over the last month (so I'll have lots to share in the next few weeks!) and did some more of the Jessica Sprague online photo/digiscrapping course I got for my birthday (way back in July.)
I'm more of a paper scrapper really but I bought the online class so I could learn to use a few more bits of my Photoshop Elements program and its been lots of fun.
Did this one today.
And that got me in the mood for some Photoshop Elements experimenting. Turned this shot ....
...into this moody portrait. I quite like it!
Well lots more cards to show you but Hannah is back, Jack is up and John is home so that will have to wait for another day!
Cheers,
Sue
Oh that card is so lovely sue! I thought it was a very clever idea too and I had forgot about it. So when I saw your card I was like how did she cut the ribbon like that with the punches??? Lol. Der Kylie. I love the photos, the one of jack came up great. Hannah looks like a real natural at calisthenics! Her form is really good! TFS

I love your card. That design from the summer mini catalogue really grabbed my attention and is such a neat way to use up ribbon scraps. I am yet to try it- but I know I definitely will!
I also love your layout. I prefer paper too- (Simply because I wouldn't know where to start with digi-scrapping) I just love the 'balance' in your layout- really eye-catching!

What a lovely post. Did Hannah enjoy Angelina Ballerina? Your ribbon card is gorgeous. I am definitely not a scrapbooker...to try and scrapbook almost 35 years of photos is something I just couldn't contemplate...would much rather make cards!
