Oh sure, I only bought my ribbon today and someone is done already!! LOL!!
I plan on buying my papers by this weekend and to get my butt in gear!

 

[Faerie]

Because I can't read directions before I go to the store, there are two ribbons in each - one that is a yard, as it's supposed to be, and then a smaller "bonus" ribbon that goes with something else

Goodie gum drops!

I ordered some paper and ribbon yesterday, but I ended up with so many different scrap stores open on my browser I forgot to get the brads I kept changeing my mind - was it better to get packs of 10 eyelets in one colour or a bigger pack of mixed brads or eyelets etc etc

I think I'll wait til I get the paper and ribbon. Then I started wondering about how to do journalling boxes, as red can be quite dark if you don't have metallic pens (and can still be hard to read) - would a vellum overlay work, do you think? If I try to go too light a shade of red it will be too pink

I think a velum overlay or a lighter color in the center of the journaling box would work.

How about a vellum overlay that is attched with photo corners. This way it can be removed, put over lined paper for writing on and put back. AND if someone doesn't want to use at as a box, they can put a small photo on it.

Hey, that's a pretty good idea. Guess what one of my groups is going to have.bb

 

[MazdaUK]

That's right! Add to my shopping list!

Actually, I did see some on one of the sites yesterday.....I wonder which one? Shaped brads are still pretty exotic for the UK you know!

You can mail now or later Now that I'm back from Disney I will be working on all mine.

 

[MazdaUK]

I found a light red! I'd call it not-quite-tinned-tomato-soup-red Looks better than it sounds! I'm a bit worried my photo mat colours are too similar, now I've cut and stuck them, so I'll have to use the embellishments for extra pizazz - I've got fantastic stripy ribbon, and as I ordered extra there's enough for the tags and might be some over to do something clever for the photo mats. All my brads are on the way, and some of them are sort of fancy, or I might add some texture somehow - maybe a flower in the corner or something (nothing overdone). Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Okay, I need to have clarification.

When we say colors, we don't just mean solids right?
I can use patterned paper as long the main/major colors are from the color I picked?

Yes thats fine, I was planning on doing that for a couple of mine as well. Im going shipping today for paper! woot!!

 

[MazdaUK]

I tried to match up some patterned paper - that was my first idea - but they were all the wrong shades. How can I have SOOOOOO much paper and not find a match? Anyway, I had an inspiration at 10.00 last night after cutting all the ribbons so I'm much happier now I'm going shopping today and suggested to DH that he might like to walk the boys over to the playground while I look in scrap shops so if I find something just right the red photo mats might be triple matted.

 

[Faerie]

I've gone postal

 

[KatDisney]

I've gone postal

I haven't even gotten all my paper yet! lol

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'd like to switch up my colors please. I bought the glitter stack and there is the coolest black & white paper in it.

So I'd like to make group 4 - X-ray (black & white)
and group 1 - Night

Thanks.
