Show Me The Green at RRR

It's time for another FUN CHALLENGE at Really Reasonable Ribbon, and our theme this time is "Show Me The Green".  This could be a St. Patrick's Day card, or any other project using green.  I chose to create a St. Patrick's Day card because my hubby is Irish, and I like sending his Mom a St. Patty's Day card every year.  And here's a little secret I'll share with you all.  I don't pay big bucks for my sweet digital images.  They are absolutely FREE on the internet.  I simply googled the words "St. Patrick's Day Vintage Images" and I got oodles of adorable images from which to choose.  I picked this sweet little girl, saved it to my computer, printed it out on a nice ivory linen cardstock, and put it on my card.
I also added a piece of striped patterned paper, some big green buttons, and of course....my big beautiful bow made with my FABULOUS Really Reasonable Ribbons.  I started with two lengths of dark green Hug Snug Seam Binding that I tied into bows, one length of the beautiful Burlap Center Stitch Green, and Solid Baker's Twine.  I also tucked a Wild Orchid Crafts Green Paper Leaf and a White Sweetheart Blossom in the center of my bow.  All of Really Reasonable Ribbon's products work together so beautifully.
Making a cute card is really easy when you have Really Reasonable Ribbon there to help you.  Why not pick up some sweet ribbons, trims, baker's twine and flowers today?  I literally printed a free image, put it on a piece of paper, added some buttons, and put together this beautiful bow with GREAT ease all because of Really Reasonable Ribbon's FABULOUS products. They just make it SO easy to create something sweet.

You're all welcome to enter your projects in this fun challenge on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.  Just make sure that you include something green, AND....of course RIBBON.  Those are the only requirements.  Then you can link up for a chance to win some ribbony goodness from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and we absolutely LOVE seeing your sweet cards and projects.

I'm sharing my project here, in my friend, Lori's sweet challenge:

  8. I love it! My wife is a Scotch Irish descendant, so she always makes us a special meal and we wear green. However, I've never made a card for her or her family members. Maybe I should do that sometime. Blessings, my friend!

Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #6 three times! I'm sorry I'm so late coming by. I also really liked the designs of the other two cards you entered, and I've pinned them all!
