A Ribbon Layout Challenge

We were recently challenged in the Classy Scrapper Group to create a layout using ribbon. Ooooooh...I love ribbon so I was definitely up for the challenge.  I didn't want to just do my standard take a strip across the layout or simply tie a bow or hang a tag from it.  I tried something just a little different and really love how this layout turned out.  I used the ribbon in several ways, I stapled it and I took it across the layout and accented it with metal charms. I used a variety of ribbons.  What fun!  I  hope you like it.

Classygirl's Tacky Transformation: My New Scraproom!

Geez!  What was I thinking when I decided to get organized and paint my furniture!  I must have lapsed into some kind of temporary state of insanity!  Never again....new furniture from now on!  First let me say, I hated painting....I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!  Sanding...oh please...not here.  I will never be on HGTV for my remake efforts..I am not a weekend warrior!  Needless to say, the furniture looks warn because I took the easiest, tackiest way out...but I still like the results and it's quite functional. 

Anyway, as many of you know I wanted to reorganize and do a bit of decorating in my scraproom.  I wanted it to be functional with a hint of pretty.  I think I've achieved that with my few accents.  I also don't like seeing everything...thus drawers, CD holders and a closet with a nice door to close everything up!  Yay!  I'm happy and feel refreshed in the new room...although it isn't complete.. I still have a couple of shelves to add with decorative elements to put a top and I'd like to find a magnetic strip to hang some of my layouts.  I'm also going to be looking for a pretty valance or something to add to the window and lastly, I think I've got to add a bit more paint to the chairs...but that'll just have to wait for a week or two.  Here is a sneak peek below.  If you want to see the rest just check out my photo album, the link is on the left below...I also created an album of the old room, as well. 

Enjoy and tell me what you think.

Classy Scrappers are Doing Great Things!

I'm so excited to know that members of Classy Coordinates are doing so many wonderful things in the Scrapbook Industry!  Accolades go out to Tanya Pocino and Val Joiner for starting a new embellishment business....Daisyhill Press http://www.daisyhillpress.com .  The have some fun, new and unique embellishments. 

Classy Coordinates debuted one of their embellishments in the July 2005 Classy Pak, the windowed file folder.  Check it out in this layout.  It was fun and easy to work with.  I simply added a photo, chalk to match the colors and embellished it with other Classy Pak contents.  Check 'em out and be sure to tell them Tiare sent you!

Congratulations Ladies!
