Laura Rumble - Crafter

I'm sharing my latest planner accessory made using Crafty Ribbons supplies... I've taken a couple of big buttons, 3 inches of elastic and some of my favourite ribbon; grosgrain Swiss dots .  I chose the ribbon and buttons to match the front of my Pirongs planner. I attached the stripey button to one end of the ribbon with a few stitches of blingy old thread.  On the other end of the ribbon, I attached the spotty button and the loop of elastic.  Then simply wrap the ribbon around the planner and hook the stretchy loop over the stripey button.  I also added a length of the same ribbon to the spiral binding using a larks head knot to use as a bookmark. The buttons I chose are 34mm wide and you can find them here and here . Thanks for stopping by!

Before Christmas I was playing around with some tabs by Heidi Swapp and some magnetic tape... Rather than use the tabs with their own adhesive as a permanent addition to a page, I added magnetic tape.  This means they can be used as temporary clips.  I especially like the headings on these tabs for this use... who doesn't need a clip to keep their 'things to do' lists together? Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Guys,   I’m back with another DT piece for Crafty Ribbons Challenges .   This fortnight’s theme is flowers picked by Carol. I’ve made a page marker for my planner... It's a folded rose - instructions here - that my Nanny taught me how to make when I was a child.  She is a brilliant seamstress and made me a lot of pretty dresses, most of them had a folded ribbon rose on them. I sew the ends together, and pass a tiny stitch through the rose to keep it together firmly.  I added a pair of leaves, and glued them to a paper clip covering the back with a small piece of mint ribbon to hide all the gubbins. I have used :  Organza Swiss Dot   the reverse side of Carry Yarn in mint  both from Crafty Ribbons. As well as:  an arrow paperclip from my stash. I hope you can join us at  Crafty Ribbons Challenges this fortnight!
