Nashville Wraps was very generous in sending the DT some of there Ribbon products to work with.

Keeping in the Country/ Primitive theme I have been working on for my kitchen.
I thought it would be fun to use the Ribbon to create a Kitchen Witch.

I found the Ribbon to be high Quality and easy to work with.
I have to say I really love the Raffia Ribbon used for her hat.
No struggle at all to unwrap soft as silk and very sturdy !

MAY 15th Design Team reveal and challenge!

Hi, sorry it's a bit late but I wanted to do a layout for this reveal! 

The challenge for the sketch teams this month was to  

use recycled materials for the squares on the sketches. You could use something such as cardboard, gift wrap, tissue paper...

LAYOUT TEAM
Sketch:

~ALEXA GILL

I used paint chips and corrugated cardboard on this one plus the cardstock is from the Greenfield paper company that sponsored us for the blog hop.
~JOAN LIDDLE

I used magazines, scraps and a piece of a dictionary page to make my squares.
~KANDI PHILLIPS

I used old flash cards my son had when he was a little guy, and part of his school work to complete my last day of school page.

and mine:

I was looking through a magazine one day and there was a FULL SHEET of VELLUM in there! There was some advertising on it, but I didn't care! I used the vellum for the squares in the background. I used an old business card to make the date tag.

Shadow Box made from a cigar box. The material is from an outdated Upholstery sample book of fabrics

~ALI MacDONALD

The beads I used were from my Mom's sewing basket.The paint colour used on the canvas is a mixture of 2 shades of acrylic that I had on hand, rather than purchasing a "new" specific colour.Scrap of mini ric-rac came from my scrap ribbon-bin!

Thanks ladies!!!!! Great creations again this month!!!!

We would LOVE to see you try this challenge!!! Please let us know if you are inspired to create it GREEN!!!!!

I have been hoarding clothing tags for a while now waiting to decide what I wanted to create with them...here is the tag I used for this project:

I added some paper, pop dots, (Unity) stamps and ribbon... and this shirt tag has been transformed into a festive birthday tag:
