Just For You

Hello Everyone,

Hey, thanks for stopping in today.

Since its the first Tuesday of the month,

it's time for my Inspiration Tuesday project

over at Craft-Dee BowZ

Gosh!!  May is already here and we are about half done with spring.

Hope everyone is handling the changes in our lives pretty well. 

I get lonely at times but other than that I am doing OK

I watched a video the other day and loved the way the background came out so I made one and used it on this card. This technique is easy and is perfect if you save scraps. And if you are like me, I save every scrap of paper in fear that I will need it or could use it in the future. So I went into my scraps drawers  (notice I said "drawers")  and got out some printed papers out and cut them into strips and made this background.  

I just love the way it turned out!!!

Let me share my card with you.

I was in a red mood as I picked the papers and the ribbon for this card. 

If you watch the youtube video, you will see that she uses glitter between the paper strips however it doesn't photograph well here, but it looks great on the card.

Let's check The Bow

For this card, I decided to use a triple loop bow.

As I was making the bow, that ribbon I used reminded me of hose (pantyhose). Very  very sheer. I love the way this ribbon works up into a bow. 

Easy to manipulate and get those loops just right.

Here is a closer view of my bow.

I used my Craft-Dee BowZ bow making tool. 

Don't forget, the Craft-Dee BowZ bow making tool is the best tool out there

that will aid you in making your bows.

The tool is small , easy to store, easy to use and so portable.
