I have only got one of these but I will be getting a few more for my other coloured ribbons ,, these were discovered at the CHA by Heidi's hubby and have just arrived ,,, fabulous invention eh ,,, on the same stand they had some gorgeous cupcakes made entirely of ribbons ,, very impressive :-) Obviously I am not going to hang them on the plants ,,I will get some hooks for the back of my cupboard door :-)

Ok ,,, whats on here ,,,a MS butterlfy punch ,, I have been wanting that one for ages ,, some fab BG Hopscotch paper , I love these MFT clear stamps ,, going to make my mum a mothers day card with those ,,, shhh ,, Oh the lovely PB bear stamp ,,, i won that on the PB Saturday Challenge ,,, thanks Kath and the DT xx ,, some Jillibean Bakers twine, Robins Nest dew Drops ,, another FAB new PB stamp called La Soiree ,,this is from the new collection :-) some new Tim Holtz stains and a pack of his GORGEOUS ribbons ,,oh ,, nearly missed out the faux snow ,,, very glittery ,,, and last but not least the packet that the ribbon ring tag came in :-)

I thought I should ink up this Gruffie with Box of Ornaments again ,, the poor chap only had one inking so far ,,, and bears do like to be dirty you know !!! :-) I used Brown Memento ink this time,, it gives a much softer look :-) I coloured him with Copics and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress ink. the papers are Echo Park Merry Christmas , I embossed the green script paper with a Cuttlebug script folder. I used a Martha Stewart border punch, some ribbon, a star charm and a Tim Holtz bauble that comes in t lovely tin of Prima Poinsettia's , these are definitely my fave christmas flowers :-)

I love this cute Dawn with Flowers stamp from Nellie Snellen, isn't she cute :-) I coloured her with Copics, inked around the edges with Stormy Sky Distress ink and added some Star Dust Stickles here and there. The papers are from a Basic Grey Kioshi paper pad and I used a Martha Stewart Doily Lace border punch. The flowers were made with Nellie Snellen punch and emboss punches, you need the medium and large sets to make these. The blue flowers at the base are Prima Esprit and I added some Hero Arts gems to the center. The ribbon was in my drawer :-)
