May Arts Ragamuffin Ribbon Post!

I was so excited when the Ribbon Lady asked if we would like to make a Ragamuffin project, because I had seen a flag similar to this one on Pinterest.  Of course, I knew how beautiful it would be with May Arts ribbons. I tied all of my "stripes" onto burlap and then I was ready for the "stars". The new star garland ribbon was just what I needed.  I  spritzed them with  mist to them to make them look a little more vintage and glued them onto a piece of canvas that was misted a denim color.  I just tied this over the ribbons and this Stars and Stripes project is ready to hang.

Be sure to stop by the May Arts Blog and check out more fun Ragamuffin projects!  And if you are making your list of ribbons that you want to create your own project, then be sure to leave comments on the posts (I hear someone will be winning a couple of rolls of ribbon!)

You've Got Mail

I've had some paper mache mail boxes sitting around my studio, and every time my 8 year old nephew comes over,  he wants to run off with them! So I thought it was high time that I did something with one of these cuties, and figured I'd give it to him all decorated along with a little note, just for him.

I used the DCWV Limoncello paper stack - it had perfect colors for any boy.  I measured the mailbox to see how big to cut the papers, and ran them through the Xyron 5" Creative Station to apply the adhesive.

I hand trimmed the Wonderful sentiment and the Notes bubble from the paper pad and used the Xyron/Teresa Collins foam adhesive to apply them.  The May Arts ribbon was adhered using the Xyron Double Sided Tape.

The card went together in a flash and is just the right size to tuck into the mail box.
