Thankful & Blessed w/Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello, dear creative blog friends and crafters (and anyone else who might wander by to take a peek) and thanks for stopping by to say hello.  The temperatures, even here in the deserts of Las Vegas, are finally getting a bit cooler as signs of Autumn approach.  One thing I definitely miss about Minnesota in the Fall would be the changing colors and falling leaves.  We just don't really have big trees with colorful leaves here in the valley.  You'd have to take the 35-minute drive up to Mt. Charleston (or further) to see that.  Perhaps that's why I chose to make an Autumn card with some colorful leaves and to also incorporate some pretty Autumn trims and goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon to adorn it.

I started this card with a piece of basic black cardstock which I layered with some Carta Bella patterned papers including a leaf print and a woodgrain pattern.  They were all attached using Scor-Tape for a long-lasting secure hold.  The sentiment square is also from the same Carta Bella paper pad.  The acorns and leaf were stamped and die-cut using products from Stamp Simply.  The prettiest part of this simple little card is the piece of 3/8" Brown & Cream Gingham Ribbon I ran across my card (underneath the sentiment) and tied into a bow.  I thought about adding some Mulberry Flowers, but I really wanted to keep this very simple.

I just LOVE the dimension and texture that ribbon gives to a card.  At Really Reasonable Ribbon, you will always be sure to find the perfectly matched trims for ALL your projects.  Be sure to stop by the RRR Blog for inspiration and information about sales and promotions as well as our monthly Blog Hop which always starts on the 13th.
