Our lovely Queen Laura has issued a royal edict:
Now it just so happens that I made some cute little forged ribbon bows for my kit this month!
Why thank you, Queen Laura, for such a timely challenge idea :~)
They didn't make it onto this page but I did use more of the ribbon
on my banner accents & my custom rosette.
Everyone will applaud the clever little rosette,
but it's funny how "inspiration" hits if we only knew the whole story...
When I went to put the fancy stitching on my photo mat the not-so-smart machine stitched pattern #6 when I had chosen #5. I hadn't planned out how to go round the corners but it mostly worked out with a few stitches by hand to mesh things up. But before I was round the whole frame...
Oops! My bobbin ran out - boooo!
I thought, well, I'll just cover that up with... something...
I used a punched circle for a foundation piece to staple the ribbons to. The gold foil circle is from a pack of office supplies! Quite inexpensive compared to scrapbook supplies, as a rule.
Quite happy with how it turned out. Lest you think I am utterly brilliant here is where I was inspired:
My purpose in making this layout was
Mandysea's challenge last month to scrap your new season. Be sure you go have a look at her gorgeous page. She lives down under so she is just entering into Spring.
Leave me some love!
