Welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon/Hampton Art Blog Hop!
If you came to my blog from Dana's beautiful blog, then you are on the right track! If not, you might consider starting over at the beginning of the hop at the Hampton Art Blog and hopping on through to the end. There are PRIZES involved! So you will want to leave a comment on all the blogs in the hop! Yes, we know there are several blogs, so you will have a full week to complete the hop. How COOL is that!!!???
This hop holds a special place in my heart, because my very own step Mom had breast cancer 2 years ago and she is now a survivor. It is not something that I would want anyone to have to endure...ever. It definitely taught me to say I LOVE YOU to certain people more often. I tell my kids every single day, and always have...but Mom...Dad...? Not so much. I now make it a point to tell them often.
I chose to do a layout about my step Mom...and the HOPE that she never lost. I used the Hampton Art Artsy Edges signature collection stamps to create the border in this layout, and I also added in several different ribbons and trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon for the layered look. I also used the Pink Ribbon stamp and hung it from the "e" in hope. It added the perfect finishing touch to this layout.
Here is a close up of the stamps and the ribbons together. You can see the seam binding, the lace, and the twine, along with the artsy edge stamps stamped in pink and the pink ribbon stamp.
I chose to journal directly onto the layout, which is something that I normally DO NOT do. I usually do hidden journaling or printed journaling, never handwritten directly on the layout. In this instance, however, I felt that the truest form of love can be shown in my own handwriting. So I did. And I actually like it.
I do HOPE that someday there is a cure for Breast Cancer.
I also HOPE that it is sooner rather than later.
Your next stop in the Hop is at the lovely Blog of Britt.
I HOPE this has inspired you, and don't forget to leave a comment at ALL the blogs!
Have a wonderful week! Thanks for stopping by and visiting today!

Any recommendations?Hi there, I found your blog via Google while searching for a related topic, your web site came up, it looks great. I’ve bookmarked it in my bookmarks.
