The pumpkin is a Martha Stewart punch. I once again used this awesome dp from Echo Park Paper Co. called Happy Halloween which I just adore! Here is a close up of Lili

Hello! This month I am the Guest DT member for Really Reasonable Ribbon which means that I will be posting a project on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog every Tuesday in September. Today I have this pretty box which is a new template from Perfect Presentation called Tall Gable and you can find it HERE! I LOVE this box, and will be using this template A LOT! I've also been itching to ink up one of my new Verve sets called Kind Words. Isn't it beautiful? I stamped the sentiment in Not Quite Navy and the flowers in Sahara Sand. I made some little ribbon yoyo flowers using 3/8" and 5/8" French Blue Grosgrain Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and added some 5/8" Ivory Crochet Lace Accents. I also made a couple of hair bows for those hair bow makers out there:)

Isn't that striped ribbon so fun?! This is the Candy Stripe Grosgrain, and I paired it with some 7/8" Red Grosgrain.

That's it for me! Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day:)

Kerri 11:47 PM 6 Comments

Hey everyone! First I want to apologize for not doing this sooner. My sister is in town visiting, and I only see her once a year, so I have been busy catching up and entertaining her. Today she really wanted to go to Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios, so that's what we did. We had a BLAST, but I'm feeling a little dizzy and queasy after all the roller coasters! The parks were not crowded at all, so we walked right on to many of the rides, including the new Harry Potter rides~so fun! Ok, onto my winners:

The winner of the two All That Scraps Swiss Pixies images is:

SAM~The Arts and Crafts of My Life

The winner of the Really Reasonable Ribbon Gift Set is:

ELENA~The Red Haired Girl

Congratulations, Ladies!!! Please e-mail me your info, and I will get your goodies out to you! Have a wonderful weekend!
