TECHNIQUE FOR TYING RIBBON

Here's a great way to tie a ribbon.  Measure the amount of ribbon you need.  Wrap ribbon around a pair of scissors, tie a knot twice and cut the loop.  Place around picture or matting and tape in place.  My album and some LO's on posts below were done with the technique.

Expo class Boys To Men, acrylic album.

This is from a class at the expo that I took.  Kits2Remember's Boys to Men II, an acrylic album.  My DH flying his remote planes, when its not windy.  Hasn't been doing too much flying though with how he feels and how windy its been.  This is the first 6x6 acrylic album I did.  Fun to do and not as hard as I thought it would be.  LOL

Supplies:

Boxer Productions kit

Felt-Queen & Co/dog

Demensional Stickers-Zippy BowWow Meow, Sue Zipkin

Expo in Ontario LO's

We had fun learning these new techniques.  I'm sure to use them on future LO's.  What do you think of them???



These are some LO's I did at the Expo.  The class was On the Move.  The first 3 pictures are Waterfall LO's.  If you look close you'll see that the pp at the bottom of those 3 LO's, the pieces of pp flips over in the picture.   So, look at the  last green and brown LO and go up to the first.  LOL  The paper does a waterfall effect.  Sorry, just too tired to redo.  I'll post instructions later from my paper they gave me. 

The last two LO's, brown and blue are called Peek-a-boo LO's.  The matted blue square on the first LO has a ribbon that runs to the right.  Pull that ribbon and the matted square slides to the right exposing the definition to the title, Giggle.  Cute!!
