My little brother is getting married next week so once again you’ll have two weeks instead of one to create this next challenge: Cards with gathered ribbon flowers! Essentially you sew either by hand or with a machine a basting stitch along one edge of a piece of ribbon and then you pull the thread to gather it, like this:

Make one big one, lots of little ones, layer them together, and more – let’s see what you creative creations you can come up with! Please email me a picture of your card with gathered ribbon flowers and a link to your blog to paiget@northridgepublishing.com by Thursday August 4th 2011 and a new gallery will be up that day!

I've been scrapbooking since I was 16 years old and love the hobby more each day! I enjoy making things by hand - from cards and layouts to books and baskets. My day is not complete unless I've made something. I'm the Copy Editor for the Northridge magazines and love all the inspiration I get from seeing everyone's creations. On a more personal note - we had our first baby - a boy named Fox - in October of 2010 and we love him to pieces! Paige's blog: chrisandpaige.blogspot.com

    I love working with twine and these colors are so fantastic. I have made bows with the twine, wrapped red and white twine around a vintage lamp post on a Christmas card, shaped it into a heart for Valentine’s Day and more. There are just innumerable things to do with it. Maya Road has always been in the forefront of fantastic products; no reason to believe this is any different. lynn
