Trying Something New

Ever since seeing my friend Katie's bow blog I have been wanting to try this, then my sister Kristin did some bows for her little girl that turned out super cute inspiring me further. So, tonight after Eraleigh went to bed I made Richard try it with me.

The photos turned out awful, messing up the colors but you get the idea.

First attempt.
AWFUL! Too big and not a good ribbon for a beginner...

Second try
Used a different method/set of instructions. I felt much better about this one.
Its actually bright red with white.


Try #3: Mauve



#4: The white one. I just put it on the purple because taking a picture of white on white doesn't work very well

Erin's Turn

The other night Richard was making some more ID holders and asked me to try one. I was happy with how it turned out. Simple, but I like it. What do you think??

I Better Explain

Kristin K asked a question about my word album that helped me realize I had better explain myself....

BoBunny makes the albums in a variety of different words including family, love, baby, grade, etc... you can see them all at the following:

I am also a little spoiled since the scrapbooking here in town has a company that does other words as requested. Right now we have ALASKA, KODIAK, FISHING, and USCG (Coast Guard)

No matter where they come from though they come as plain chipboard and then you can either paint, or cover them with paper. Depending on the word this can take up to couple hours. I think this one tookk me 2 1/2 - 3 but I am pretty picky and it was a longer word. (I am sure others would be much faster at this). After that you just add the pictures, journaling and embellishments and it comes together pretty nicely.

Really there is no way to go wrong!
