I decided to use the Pink Fusion and create a really "girly" Trinket Box! I start3ed with a white box, and decorated it with Pink Fusion papers, Bella! Bling and Bella! Florals, both on the outside and the inside! Some black bling, black and white glitter paper, and ribbon added contrast to all the pink!</div>

</div>
<div align="center">
Hello everyone! Linda here with two projects using our East Coast Essence range. I have always loved working with lots of color. However, I find I love these new soft, neutral colors in this beautiful Ruby Rock-it range! What a wonderful way to focus on your pictures and sentiments as you scrapbook your memories!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
My first project is a layout using the soft, beige/gold colors, with accents in smoky gray - now some of my favorites!</div>

<div align="center">

<div align="center">
I used a We R Memory Keepers punch on the background to highlight the gray paper underneath. The picture is a favorite one of my daughter and my two granddaughters!</div>

Hello Ruby Rock-it friends! Today we are continuing the Ruby Rock-it 12 Days of Christmas!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I have created two projects using 12 Days of Christmas and Joyeux Noel. I love creating projects for Christmas, and these two paper ranges offer wonderful contrasts in color and design!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
My first project to share is a canvas focusing on 3 colorful Christmas trees. This was fun to do, and I enjoyed piecing the lovely papers for the trees. I used the Tsukineko Memento Dye Ink. I also used one of the Epiphany Crafts Bubble Caps and Frame.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My second project is a card using the gold and white papers and embellishments in Joyeux Noel. I used an embossed imprint card from Fundamentals, and inked it with gold dye ink. </div>

I'm delighted to share my project for the blog hop with you! Using the 25 Days of Christmas range, I created a Christmas Tree Shadow Box. I used the Christmas latticework paper as a background, with some flower chipboards for dimension. The tree is centered on a background of paper and sheet music, then attached to an acrylic sheet. The last layer is the red and white chipboard frame. I added some velvet ribbon and lace behind the tree, and used some red cord on the outside of the shadow box itself! Then, I carefully layered each part into the box without the last piece of glass - I wanted the tree to stand out beyond the frame!</div>

Hello Ruby Rock-it friends! Linda here to share a fun candy cane Advent Calendar - just for kids! I used the delightful 25 Days of Christmas Paper Pack for this project. Somehow the traditional bright red and green Christmas colors get me in the mood for this lovely holiday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I used a 12 x 16 canvas, sealed it with gesso, then inked the edges with Tsukineko Memento Gamma Green, then used papers from the Christmas Paper Pack as background. I found some tiny little envelopes, then cut and glued the 25 days of Christmas pieces to the front. I put a small wrapped candy in each one, and finished it with a small candy cane. This was easy and fun! Enjoy creating your own Advent Calendar with the wonderful Christmas papers from Ruby Rock-it!</div>

Birds and butterflies are as much a part of our beautiful autumn seasons as the gorgeous fall colors! I am sharing with you today two canvases I created to reflect this idea! I used gesso to seal the canvases, then used Pumice Stone Distress inks on the sides, the edges, and most of the paper pieces.. The Bella! Kinda Krafty papers were perfect for the backgrounds! The leaves are from a Spellbinder die cut, and I used all the papers in the Bella! Family Inspiration Kit for the leaves. I finished the two canvases with Platinum Stickles to highlight!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I hope you will be inspired to create your own projects on canvases. They provide fun and easy opportunities to create projects with lots of dimension and depth!<br />

In keeping with the family and fall theme, I created a layout using a photo of my son and his family. I love all the gorgeous colors, wonderful scents and perfect days of fall. On this layout page I've used Ruby Rock-it Bella! beautiful fall flowers and backgrounds. We swapped with Art Anthology in September, and I've used one of their Dimensional crystal paints and one of their Sorbet Dimensional paints!</div>

This is a mini album from Maya Roads, and it was a delight to delightful to fill it up with pages that have room for those special school pictures. The book is covered with paper from the Inspiration Kit. I cut circles and word from the kit to fit the school theme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've included the 5 double-sided pages to share with you some of the fun ways to use chipboard pieces, words, and occasional ribbons or buttons to enhance the space for pictures! </div>

<div align="center">
Hello everyone! Linda Kretz here to share with you a sweet layout of my granddaughter, Makenzie, on her first day of Preschool. She is 4 and so excited to be a "big girl" going to school! Of course, her mom and grandma had mixed emotions! The Bella Boutique Inspiration Kit and School Days from Ruby Rock-it ranges were so perfect for this project- so bright and fun.</div>

I drew and cut out the large apple as a background for the picture, and layered pieces of paper, some lace and twine to provide color and dimension. The strips of words and letters were great because she was learning to write her name during that first day! </div>

This was a fun project, and it brought back the additional pleasure for scrappers to just play with paper! I hope you enjoyed this, and try using these papers to create with your kids some special school memories!<br />

The project I am sharing with you today is a supply box to hold school supplies: ruler, pens, pencils, tape runner, scissors, post-its, stapler, etc. The Bella Boutique School Days range is so colorful and fun to create all kinds of school projects!</div>

I found a box at Michael's, but it was pink! So I painted to entire box with red acrylic paint, then covered all exterior and interior sides with the wonderful papers in this range. I used some of the Bella cardboard die cuts and word strips to make it fun and colorful as a desk top supply box. I covered the bottom with felt to avoid scratches on furniture. The red & black clothespins can be removed for a student to post other items.</div>

Hello Ruby Rock-it friends! Linda Kretz here to share with you a bulletin board I created for my grandson, Austin, who is in middle school. We at Ruby Rock-it are featuring the wonderful, colorful Bella Paper Ranges and embellishments that are perfect for kids! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My project is a simple bulletin board that kids can either create for themselves, or a project you can share in creating with them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJpfR12b_JoI7UsTKUyw0JA2XW7t2mwHh1TDGg9l9_tDA04-LlO72YEqXy5R56XeMiw08Nr5aE53hw21jf_P4it1PfrBgg8qCbn0W6X0BrZ4_STQFshHb_2Tkx1KFGdmlriSf3Myv78xI5/s1600/proj1zlindaSep.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJpfR12b_JoI7UsTKUyw0JA2XW7t2mwHh1TDGg9l9_tDA04-LlO72YEqXy5R56XeMiw08Nr5aE53hw21jf_P4it1PfrBgg8qCbn0W6X0BrZ4_STQFshHb_2Tkx1KFGdmlriSf3Myv78xI5/s320/proj1zlindaSep.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found an inexpensive corkboard bulletin board and decided the idea was great for the fabulous primary colors used in these ranges! I chose four of the papers, and cut them to fit the board, which measures 23 X 17 inches. I used small strips of the black and white polka dot paper to separate the sections. I trimmed the edges with black rick rack and black and white straws - lots of fun for kids to decorate with.!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a piece of red chalkboard paper with gold writing - so perfect for the back to school theme. I used some of the white ruled paper; trimmed with black, and used some of the Bella Cardboard Stickers with school icons, and Papers Notes. This collection has so many fun pieces for kids to use!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I enjoyed the bright colors and wording used on this paper. I chose some strips from some of the other papers and created an award ribbon for a "Star Student".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you have enjoyed this bulletin board, and will love working with these Bella school ranges as much as I have! It was simple, fun, and so colorful!</div>

Hi Ruby Rock-it fans. Linda Kretz here to share a project I created for a special friend of mine. She's been going through some tough times lately, and I'm hoping my basket will cheer up and let her know I've been thinking about her. Our focus this month has been to explore some new and delightful ways we can create using our new wedding ranges!</div>

I decided to put some blooming flowers in the basket (she loves flowers and anything pink!) I made a little card to go with it that says "I'm Thinking of You Today". With a separate card, she can then use the basket for little trinkets or special occasions of her own.</div>

Today I am sharing with you a layout using a photo of my niece and her family as they happily vacation at the beaches of Tulum, Baja California. I loved using the rich browns of Ruby Rock-it's Kinda Krafty paperz and the Scrap FX laser cut chipboard pieces to bring forth the beautiful colors of the picture!</div>

I used a We R Memory Keepers punch on the 2nd paper and stamped some some reeds in white to partially show around he edges. It is foam dotted to the striped background paper. The Scrap FX flourish, title and twisted branches add focus to the picture.</div>

Hello Ruby Rock-It fans! This is Linda Kretz with a wedding layout using the beautiful new summer release papers from Ruby Rock-It Weddings are special events for everyone, especially because they focus on new beginnings and memorable moments in time. My layout is memorializing that moment for my daughter, Holly, and her wedding 17 years ago at the Rose Garden in Oakland, California.</div>

I chose these wonderful black and silver papers as background for my black and white photo, with pink accents for color and contrast. The black, silver and pink die cuts around the picture lend focus, and the other touches of bling, decoupage flowers, antique pink lace. and pearlized hearts are accents to pull the layout together. I added pink and white tulle to emphasize the lovely flowers. </div>

I had lots of fun creating this burlap wall hanging, using products from both Ruby Rock-it and The Twinery. The combination of paper, embellishments and Baker's Twine made a perfect July scene! I wrapped twine around each balloon and around the background of the burlap, embossed the Carnival King pager, chose cardstock embellishments from the same range, added some ribbon, and foam dotted the pieces for dimension! I hope you like my project and got some ideas for your own creations!</div>

Hi everyone! I am truly honored and excited to be one of the new Design Team members for <span style="font-size: large;">Ruby Rock-it!</span> My first project is a wall hanging featuring Hannah, my granddaughter, and her face painting at a local carnival. She is a sweetheart, and is obviously delighted with the result !</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the papers and embellishments from Ruby Rock-it and the Bella Embossed Cardstock for the background, which I highlighted with white ink. I used the Framed cardstock for the carnival laundry line, and the Garlands for the bottom accent. A piece of acrylic created a small window for the bottom focus. I had a lot of fun playing with this wonderful paper range. I hope you enjoy it as well!</div>

Hi everyone! I'm adding some creations that I haven't posted to my blog to date! Most cards, projects and layouts were designed using My Little Shoebox papers, letters, and cardstock stickers. However, as you know, Helen Chu, the owner and designer of My Little Shoebox is no longer doing scrapbooking products. I loved working with her, and thoroughly enjoyed her delightful, whimsical colletions!</div>
