Really Reasonable Ribbon - Heart Garland

Happy New Year!  I can't believe how quickly this year went by!  I jumped forward to my favorite crafty holiday.....Valentine's Day!  I made a quick and easy heart garland using this beautiful black satin ribbon from

Really Reasonable Ribbon.

For my garland, I cut hearts from the Sweethearts Cartridge at 3.5"h. 

This pattern paper is Echo Park "Be Mine".  This is last year's collection and I recently found it at Hobby Lobby for $10.  I was so suprised to see it there!

I inked the edges with Tim Holtz "Soot" distress ink and then puched holes with the Big Bite and threaded the satin ribbon through. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope to get back to my regular posting schedule now that the holidays are winding down!

This hop is all about vintage so I had to think outside my usual box.  I  headed out to Michael's to find some vintage inspiration.  I picked a beautiful piece of paper from Creative Imaginations and some Tim Holtz locks and keys.

 For my card base, I welded two scallop rectangle from Sugar and Spice at 5.5"w.  I cut my hearts from Sweethearts out of ivory cardstock and then used Tim Holtz distress inks to achieve this color.  I used a combination of fired brick, frayed burlap and antique linen.  I added a piece of lace out of my MIL's stash and the lock and key.  The sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms Stamps - Love Notes set.  I stamped it in brown and then heat embossed with clear poweder and then added the distress inks on top.

I think it turned out so pretty....a little different for mel but so much fun to make.

Now....I have a little BLOG CANDY!!!!
