Tie It On....{TKJ}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!

It is time for a new challenge over at

 The Kraft Journal!

And this week we want to see you

Tie It On

Since there are so many great ribbons at The Kraft Outlet, and I have quite a few that tend to unravel from their original spools and packaging, I thought I would use a new file I picked up at the Silhouette Store and organize my ribbons. So for this challenge and my inspiration I created this project...Hope you like it!

For my box, I started out with the Light Kraft Cover Weight Cardstock and cut the base to my box as well as the inserts that will house my ribbons. Also part of the file was the decorative cover piece which I cut using some designer paper from my stash. After the box was assembled, it was looking quite bare so I wrapped some Natural Hemp Cord around the box and attached a flat back pearl to the center. Yes I knew that this was going to house my ribbon, but I still wanted to add some die cut letter using 

My Creative Time's~Lowercase Fun Die.

After gathering all the ribbon and wrapping each one around the paper holder I used my tiny attacher to put a small sample of the ribbon to the top. Then using the stamped letters from My Creative Time~Just Simply Live Stamp Set, I spelled out each name of the corresponding ribbon, Twill Tape, Ruler and Burlap. 

This box now houses the 7 different ribbons I own from The Kraft Outlet. Isn't this such a fun way to organize your ribbon???

 So there you have it....my inspiration for this week's challenge.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with us!

As always I have linked all the supplies I used from The Kraft Outlet throughout my description.  If you have not checked out the store yet....make sure you do! There is so much available, the prices are so reasonable and shipping is super fast!!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Monday!!

Beep Beep.....Mean's Happy Birthday in Robot....... {TKJ, TAWS and Craft it Up Guest}

Good Morning, Happy Memorial Day!!

I hope you all are having a GREAT holiday weekend! I know we are! We have been at my in laws cottage on the lake all weekend, enjoying the family time and sun!

Anyways........Welcome to my PACKED blog today!

I have a ton going on in this post so get ready.....

• It is new challenge day over at  The Kraft Journal
• Sneak Day 1 for The Alley Way Stamps
•  My Guest Designer spot for Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party

Let's get this party going!!!

This week over at The Kraft Journal we are challenging you to

 "Use Any Sketch"

and the new linky party over at Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party is

Anything w/Ribbon

so for my card I used one of my favorite go to challenge blogs~ Seize the Birthday 

 for my card.

  Since it is also Sneak Day 1 of the new June release over at

The Alley Way Stamps

 I added my sneak using the fun fun stamp set Bot Time and came up with this birthday card..... I hope you like it!!!

I started my card off with a Brown Kraft Cardstock base and added a mat of Bazzill  Navy card stock and designer paper from DoodleBug Deisgns~Boy's Only paper pad. Before adhering my mat  to my card base, I used some White Twill Tape and let some of the extra hang off the end....you know, just for a bit extra :)

I also added some screw brads (to match the sketch) and taped the whole mat down to my base. Next came the stamping of the fun image and sentiments. I used the new release stamp set from The Alley Way Stamps ~Bot Time, some memento tuxedo black ink and another matching sheet of designer paper. I left the image plain...cause I just LOVE this big guy and double stamped the "beep".

Since this is a birthday card I stamped another sentiment inside the card following the same layout as the front using several sets....

Bot Time, Alphabet Soup, and Wish BIG!

So fun isn't it????

Well there you have it.... I hope you have enjoyed my inspiration for all these fun challenges!!
