ColorFALL Card from a friend

I received this pretty fall card from a 

blogging friend.

Fun, colorful paper, perfect stamp and burlap ribbon.

Thanks, Margaret ! 

Halloween Scrapbook

These are a few pages from a small scrapbook I made recently 

for some old photos one of my uncles gave me
of extended family members building a float.

They are pretty basic pages.

Rubber stamp images were from Stampin' Up!

Patterned papers are from Die Cuts With A View stacks

Various embellishments




The photos are terrible because I didn't think to take
pictures until after the album was assembled.
It is an old paper page type photo album that I
attached the pages directly to then decided to try to find
plastic sleeves that could be altered to fit.
The only way was to trim them down then punch holes in
the sleeves themselves for the paper pages to slide into.
The paper page and the plastic sleeve are both attached
to the album covers by posts running through each part.
It is a bit of work to disassemble it.
So the photos are of the pages in plastic sleeves
inside of the album covers, thus the glare.

On Veterans Day

While were here at home,

They traveled land and sea

To make sure we stayed safe,

To protect and keep us free.

Words are not enough

to give them what they're due.

On Veterans Day please thank them

For their service to me and you.

PROJECT DETAILS:

This is a quick and easy craft to use up ribbon scraps. I used a curtain ring that was in a grab bag of miscellaneous craft supplies from a church yard sale as my base. A tiny embroidery hoop, mason jar lid ring even a circle cut from foam core would work, nearly anything that is "donut shaped" to tie ribbon or fabric scraps around.

I started by base coating the wood curtain ring with acrylic craft paint

 that coordinated with the ribbons I was using.

I chose several types of color coordinated ribbons for my project, but you can use the same type for all of your ribbon or fabric scraps. I cut one piece to determine the length that I needed first, then cut many more nearly the same size. I wanted some to be a tiny bit longer or shorter, so I adjusted the cut ribbon length. You can also make them all the same length for a more uniform look.

Fold the ribbon in half. Lay the ring on top with the loop outside of the ring  and the tails on the inside. Pull the tails up and over the ring towards the outside, tucking them through the looped portion. Pull snugly. I used a tiny bit of hot glue to hold them in place. Continue doing this until the ring is covered to your liking.

Add whatever embellishments you like, if you wish. I kept this one simple: just a tag and baker's twine.

That's all there is to it, simple enough for a child to do !
