I love getting my Creating Keepsakes magazine every month. I look over each issue multiple times for inspiration but I never create anything directly from what I see on its pages. Instead I stalk my mailbox daily hoping for the following month’s issue to come early.
So to make me feel like my magazine is lasting me it’s entire month I decided to start creating a page or two as a direct response. This layout is my response to Ali Edwards’ column. To shake up her routine she decided create some layouts for her March article where she would use a whole bunch of one type of embellishment.
I went with her “Play With Ribbon” idea and this is what I came up with. I mixed some We R Memory Keepers ribbon I had recently bought with some older ribbon I had grown tired of. It is always revitalizing to pair something old with something fresh and new. It gives you a whole new way of seeing the older items.
And with all that ribbon used up it was a great excuse for me to go out and buy some yummy new ribbon! Basic Grey to be exact. Love it.
