Watercolor Ornament

With Christmas just around the corner, I wanted to share an easy watercolor ornament that you can create.  Grab some beautiful lace and ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, a flat wooden ornament, buttons, old hymnal page, gesso and your favorite watercolors.

 I trimmed the hymnal to fit wooden ornament and glued it.  Next I applied gesso, letting it dry.  Next I added my holiday scene using watercolor and black pens. 

Then I add the Arianna Natural Crochet Lace and added a hanger with the Sheer Iridescent Champagne Ribbon.

These are so quick and easy... created a few for you and some to share.

Happy crafting!

Art Journal

My newest art journal is capturing my growth as an artist.  For years I have enjoyed all kinds of creativity, starting with cross stitch and then scrapbooking.  For several years now I have ventured into creating art journals, sketching and watercoloring.

Through online classes, to artist retreats and in-person art classes, I have enjoyed learning new techniques and meeting other creatives.

I love adding a little softness to this page by using beautiful ribbons by Really Reasonable Ribbon.  

Two of my favorites is the Sheer Antique Gold  and Antique Gold Burlap String.  I layered them on top of a burlap leave and added buttons.  

I hope this inspires you to start documenting your artistic adventures!

Santa Snowflake Ornament

Do you love decorating for the holidays?  Each year I add a few more handmade ornaments to my Christmas tree.  I created this whimsical and easy Santa snowflake ornament using the beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbon October Christmas Assortment.

I combine gathered the white lace from the assortment, adhering it to the snowflake.  Next I created a bow and glued a white flat back pearl to the center.

Then I added a hanger with the Cherry Baker's Twine.  This ornament was so easy and quick to make that it would make a cute tag for gifts.  Just add the "To" and "From" to the back of the ornament and adhere it to the gift box or bag.  Then the recipient will have a cute present topper that they can hang on their tree.  

Wishing you a creative day, dear friends.

From Our Kitchen to Yours

There is something special about giving a thoughtful gift of baked goods.  It is like giving a piece of yourself.  Why not make that gift extra special by adding a creative container to hold those homebaked goodies?

It was easy by easing a vintage berry basket and ribbons and lace from Really Reasonable Ribbons.  

I wrapped the Sheer Iridescent Antique Gold Ribbon around the container, then tied a pretty bow, tucking a bow under the ribbon made out of the Antique Gold Burlap String.

I then added the Chloe Natural Crochet Lace around the top of the basket.

Then I tuck in a tag and filled up the container with some yummy homemade chocolate chip cookies.  It was so easy to create this cute container to give as a gift.  Looking forward to creating a few more to have on hand when a special gift is needed.

Wishing you a creative day, dear friends.
