Stamp Simply Striped Ribbon Inspiration

It's a Stripe Ribbon Inspiration Saturday! Look at all that goodness! This is the blog candy picture that one lucky commenter will win! All BLOG CANDY info at end of post!
For my creation today, I have wooden letters for our granddaughter, Emma. This set will be gifted to her for her First Birthday! Can't believe she is a one year old! We are blessed! I used My Minds Eye designer paper, Blush to cover the letters. They were already white when I purchased them from Michaels.
Close up of the letter E. I added various trims to each letter. The pink trim is My Minds Eye Blush trim, so it matches perfectly! Gotta love that! The pretty flower comes with the pearl center!
Close up of a Striped Ribbon embellishment! Adding some glitter to the resin flower blings it up a bit! The striped bakers string tails rest nicely atop the aqua lace! I also used the pink stripe twill with a gluber to create a flower that is adhered onto the letter A.

Hello!

It has been quite the ride! Our computer crashed, we've purchased a Mac and the learning curve is killing me! I'm actually writing this post at the Mac store before giving them our computer once again to get the uploads correct! Please bear with me as I learn! Thank YOU!
Remember this CARD from some time ago? I adhered a clear envelope to the front of this gift bag for a complete package! That way the card is totally revealed! Gotta love that!
A close up of the beautiful bow! The sheer polka dot ribbon is gathered with a needle and thread! I left nice tails of thread to gather the ink gingham ribbons and tied the entire ribbon treatment to the bag handle!
So there you have it! A card that is used on a gift bag to make a gift gifting statement! All ribbons are found at The Stamp Simply Store! Be sure to check out all the new items in the store!
Check out JustRite as well for all the latest and greatest! I hope to be back on a regular basis next week! I'll be honest, that's a projected time frame, it will depend on when we get our computers back! Take good care! I miss being here!

Winner!

Good Friday Morning to you! Apologies to those who where/are having issues posting comments on my blog. I've been having issues with our computer and don't know if that has any thing to do with it or not? It's maddening to say the least. We have been out of town for several days, trying to soak in the remaining warm days left in Michigan!

I want to post the winner of my Stamp Simply Ribbon Inspiration Card,VELVET! Congratulations, Kathy Martin! Please email me with your address so I can get that into the mail for you! Thank you for your comment and I hope you enjoy the card! bjshome@sbcglobal.net

With all the computer issues it has prompted my hubby and I to purchase a new computer. Our plans were to get a new one anyway so we purchased our first Apple Mac yesterday! We are taking it in to have all our existing computer info transferred. I'm a bit nervous about that, but according to them it's a piece of cake! I lost some files and programs last week when my hubby was trying to restore space on our hard drive. Keep you fingers crossed! Our hope is to be up and running this weekend! They also have one to one training, which is something I desperately need! I know there will be a learning curve!

Take good care and I'll keep you posted on the computer news! Thanks so much for stopping by!
