Day 11 Giveaway and some inspiration ...

 
 
Something a little different today - we'd like you to guess how many Ribbon Girl charms we've put in this little glass jar - usual rules apply, be a follower, add our logo/badge to your blog and leave us a comment with your answer - one winner will be picked on New years Eve 31st December 2012
** amended to add: The winner will receive all of the charms inside the glass jar but not the jar itself!
 
Today we'd like to share one or two projects with you
 
By Guest DT Franz (Italy)
 
 
 
By Guest DT Tracy (Australia)
Tracy used sweetheart blossoms, flat lace, blue silky crush, clear crystal leaves, white rose organza
 
 
 
By DT Becky
Becky added white tiny pom pom, pearls, 20mm open roses, hip buds and lily flowers
 
By DT Tiets
Tiets used candy canes, seam binding, rusty bells, lace and pearls
 
 
Andrea and I made some very pretty napkin rings using double sided sticky tape, a strip of acetate, a short length of 6-row faux diamante mesh, a silver jingle bell and a length of silver twine - we popped in a red/white candy cane to add a splash of festive colour!  These pretty rings could easily be adapted for all sorts of celebations, weddings and so on an they are inexpensive and quick to make.
 
 
 
Good luck guessing the number of charms in the jar and I'll be back tomorrow!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas .....

 
A heavy fall of snow then sub-zero temperatures in our area caused havoc on the roads and transport systems yesterday afternoon and evening.  We awoke this morning to a frozen world - with more snow forecast for later today - your orders might just be a little delayed!   I hope this photo gets you in the mood to make your ho ho ho or Christmas card for the current Ribbon Girl challenge which will run until 16th December so you've got loads of time to get your card in.
 
See you soon, Mary G x

December Challenge ...

Hello, can you believe that it is December already?? Our Christmas tree is decorated and our wreath is on the door here at Ribbon Girl HQ but we've done no present shopping and not a card has been written (and to tell the truth most of them haven't even been made yet!)
