Design Team Mega Roundup

Warning - Mega huge post coming up!!

Our Design Team have been cooking up a storm during the last few weeks and I have stacks of projects to share with you today

We love every single one of Lucy's cards and these are no exception

 I couldn't resist sharing this one, look at all those owls sitting on a 'branch' of Button Twine - how cute?

Jo has made some gorgeous creations, we love all the details she adds to her cards

Just look at this clever card from Jane, she used the Button Twine to make the dog lead!

 Wendy has been super busy, we loved how she used the red ruffle ribbon on the edge of the card - and Andrea's all time favourite red saddlestitch ribbon too:)

 And these are our projects, Mary was inspired by this post on Kath's blog to have a go at making a miniature wreath hanging

And see those holly berries? they are made using the latest addition to the Ribbon Girl shop - Dewdrop embellishments. Don't they make perfect holly berries?

Finally these are Andrea's cards

Thanks to all of our Design Team girls, we are so grateful for all that you do for us and we love seeing all your creations. We hope Debbie will be back online soon as she is having horrible computer problems (we can't imagine how you feel Debbie with *shock* no internet!!)

We are always interested to see the projects that our customers have been making and we *might* just be looking around for next month's guest designer :)

Love from Mary and Andrea - The Ribbon Girls

Cards from Jo

These are Jo's cards, we love how she packs on layers and layers of paper and embellishments and mixes up modern and vintage :) Jo's amazing blog is full of fabulous cards like these and can be found here
