Creations by AR Blog Hop and Release
Hello Friends! Welcome to Creations by AR Blog Hop and template release! Whoohoo! There are 2 new template being released today. . . Ribbon Keeper and Menu Keeper
Come play along with us and you may have a chance to win a Creations by AR template! All you need to do is comment my blog. You have multiple chances to win by just hopping on over to the the rest of the design teams' blogs and comment on the their blog! I will announce the winner on Friday, April 29th! Good luck!
If you get lost along the way. . .here are the list of the design team:
Okay. . .this is the "menu keeper" but I tend to look through recipe books rather than filing them so . . .I decided the menu keeper makes for a wonderful "photo keeper". .:) To be quite honest, I was initially going to create a mini album with the inserts but didn't have time to complete it so I decided to create the photo keeper instead. This menu keeper has multiple purposes. . .:) It also comes with a stand (see the first photo) for your recipes or photo.
I labeled each of the tabs and added a photo to each of the inserts that can be used for your recipes, behind each tab are photos based on the label. For example, I have one labeled "Mother & Daughter", another is "Alexis" and the last one "Mark & Maria". I made extra inserts for any other photos that I'm going to store.
I created the flower using fabric. What I did was create a baste stitch on a strip of fabric using my sewing machine and gathered one end like you would if you were creating ruffles then I glued the fabric in a circular manner similar to creating paper flowers. I then added beads to the center. I thought a cute butterfly would be perfect for the flower. I created a shabby chic style tag and labeled it "photos". Last but not least, I added a seam binding bow and stuck beaded pins to it.
The other template being released is a "ribbon keeper" There are 2 sizes, regular and large. I used the "regular" sized keeper. As you can see you can store ribbons and there's a slot at the bottom for the ends of the ribbons to be pulled through.
I actually created the box to store my embellishments that's the reason why my box has the label "embellishments" rather than ribbons.
I added the shoe charm to my design. . I thought it was really cute!
Anyway, again don't forget to comment my blog and hop on over to the rest of the DTs' blogs!!!
That's it! Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!!

Just gorgeous and love the photo keeper idea.

Thanks so much for the inspiration!
