Ruby Rock-it Farewell Blog Hop

Welcome to the 2012 Ruby Rock-It Design Team Farewell Blog Hop. It has been a wonderful experience designing with RRBF products for the past year. I am truly grateful for the experience to be able to work with their products and design for CHA shows. I have shared so many wonderful memories with this team.

Today we are having a farewell team blog hop, as the design team year ends some of us will be moving on to make way for new team members.

We were asked to post a few our favorite projects that we have made with RRBF products over the past year.
Here are a few of my favorites:

Girl's Day layout (made using the Paper Doll collection)

Let's Roll card (made using the Paper Boy collection)

Now, it is time to see a few favorites from the rest of our Design team.

Being your Mom....

Hi everyone,

I hope that you are enjoying the month of May and getting lots of ideas that
have given you inspiration for celebrating Moms.

I have a layout to share with you today about Motherhood using the Paper Doll collection from Ruby Rock-it designs. This photo was taken a few months ago and it is very special to me because my daughter just this last month entered into the "teen years". Hard to believe that I am the mother of a 13year old now. She is going through lots of changes and growing up is hard, so I wanted to do a layout about our relationship.

Being your Mom layout:

I used papers, felt icons, banners, chipboard letters and stickers from the Paper doll collection and Bella! sugar candy cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by the my blog today, and we have a May challenge going on over at the RR blog. You can find out all the details here:

May Challenge

rocking Wednesday with some cards

Hi Friends,
I hope that you are all enjoying some nice warm spring weather in your area. We had a couple of days of warm sunny weather last week and now it is raining non stop. I'm hoping for a sunny day again soon.
I have a couple of themed cards that I made last week that I would like to share with you using the Paper Doll line and Paper Boy line from Ruby Rock-it designs.

Girl's just wanna have fun card:

I used pattern paper, and banners from their Paper Doll collection and embossed cardstock from their Bella! collection. I just love their embossed cardstock so much. To show off the pattern I sanded it slightly with a piece of sandpaper from my husbands workshop. Who says that tools aren't for crafting? lol.

Next up I have a boy's themed card using their Paper Boy collection.

Let's Roll card:


I added a strip of canvas and I used the round 25 shape studio tool from Epiphany Crafts to make the round bubblecap. I just love that it fits perfectly into bottlecaps!

That's it for today, thanks for letting me share!

Ruby rock-it Christmas traditions projects

Hi everyone, earlier this month we shared our favorite family Christmas traditions on the Ruby rock-it blog. My family's favorite Christmas tradition each year is driving up to Apple Hill to cut down our family Christmas tree. You can view my original post with all of the pictures from our trip here. After we shared our favorite traditions the design team was challenged to create 3 projects that were inspired by our tradition.

For my first project this month I created a layout using the Paper Boy collection. I took these photos of my son while we were celebrating our tradition of picking out our Christmas tree at Apple hill. They have a fishing pond there that is the perfect backdrop for photos.

For my second tradition themed project this month, I made a Christmas card using the Bella wedding line.

Celebrate card:

I liked their embossed double sided paper so much that I chose to use both sides. The backside (white) and the gold side (front). The Bella wedding line works great for Christmas themed projects.

And for my last project, I created a card. The border strip is from the Paper Doll line and it reminded me of Christmas candy. I also thought of the cherry (from the Paper Doll tokens paper) and the sweetie pie sticker (confetti stickers). They reminded me of all the yummy sweets and pies that we buy up at Apple hill. They have pre-made pies that you can buy there and then bring home and pop in your oven. Our favorites are cherry and apple.



Thanks for allowing me to share my Ruby Rock-it Christmas traditions projects with you this month. Please stop by the Ruby rock-it blog tomorrow to see how team member Becky Olsen shares her Christmas tradition projects.
