May Arts + Simple Stories + Xyron = A Match Made in Heaven

Hello and welcome to the blog hop with the May Arts Ribbonistas!

We swapped with Xyron and Simple Stories for a super fun trio! 

Simple Stories let us choose a collection kit so I chose the Story of Us. I loved the black white and gold and thought some pink and tiffany blue ribbon would soften it up! 

There are actually 4 kinds of May Arts Ribbon on this card. I got this close up so that you could see the shimmer ribbon on the left. It's beautiful! Of course the chevron is a favorite of mine and the silk ribbon is brand new! 

The scalloped tab was an afterthought and I am so glad I slipped it behind the ribbon! 

This wired ribbon is super fun, but to be honest - I had NO idea how to adhere it! So I grabbed my Xyron/Teresa Collins Stapler and stapled it down. Totally cheating. Love it!

SK-94: 1/4" Silk Ribbon in Tiffany Blue
CT-17: 2" Sheer Twinkle Ribbon in Pink

My Creative Time - Scrapping the Little Things

My first "smash book" like page - I have to say I liked scrapping this way a lot more! I had a good time with my stamps and dies and then I just stickered the rest. Yep. Sticker-ed. It's a verb.

Check out the rest of the scrappy inspiration HERE!

Emmaline's 1st Birthday Invitation

Emmaline's party will be vintage bunny themed so I wanted to do something that matched the theme. I ended up sending an evite (shhh!!! I just got low on time) but I wanted to make at least one for her baby book.

Check out the other projects over at My Creative Time! The theme is summer and as she is having a summer birthday, I thought this would be perfect! :)

Mom's Birthday Card

***I am away on vacation right now in a place that doesn't really have internet, so forgive me if I don't get back to you if you have any questions! We are sneaking in a pre-baby mini getaway in the Santa Cruz Mountains (the redwoods). It's absolutely gorgeous!***

Happy Father's Day to all of the FABULOUS fathers out there including my dad and my husband (father to be!)!!!


I made this for my mom's birthday. She is a gardener and when I saw this kit, I knew this was JUST perfect for her. 

I totally fell in love with this Simple Stories line and quite literally have been waiting for it to come out for months! So I was tickled! 

I used the Artful Delight June Sketch below:
