Crafty Ribbons Christmas Advent Day 1....

Here I am back again with a second post,nothing for absolutely ages then two on the same day...My first post is below this one....

Right I'm back this time as it's day one of our Christmas Advent Event over at Crafty Ribbons Inspiration Blog....Over the next 24 days we will be highlighting some fabulous Craft Companies/shops.....

The Design Team have made cards/projects for your inspiration and all of the Companies have very generously given a prize for one of you lucky people to win each day...

All of the inlinkz links will remain open until Wednesday 26th December the winners will be drawn for all days and announced on the Crafty Ribbons Inspiration Blog on Wednesday 2nd January 2013,so it means even if you miss one day you will still have time to enter......


If you could give the event a little mention on your blog we would really appreciate it,let everyone know about the fabulous prizes up for grabs.....


And the Company kicking off our first day is none other than our own..........




Ali & Tony have very generously given the following prize just think how much gorgeous ribbon you could get with the voucher...



All you need to do is leave your name with Inlinkz at the bottom of the post over on the Crafty Ribbons Insipration blog HERE  if you don't have a blog don't worry you can still enter just skip the URL bit....
ONLY ONE entry per person please to make it fair for everyone,duplicate entries will be deleted....

And here is a little project I've made....



I started off with a polystyrene cone then cut lengths of all different coloured green ribbons from Crafty Ribbons,they are then pinned on to the cone in loops to make a Christmas tree......


I've also used buttons and some buttons that look like baubles from Crafty Ribbons just to add some decoration to my tree...



The star on the top is a large button again from Crafty Ribbons and I've just threaded it on to some wire so it would stand up...

A very simple project using ribbon but one I think is quite effective,what do you think???....

I hope you will all join in with our Advent event and don't forget there are 24,well 25( but more about that as we get into the event)goodies for you to win,so what you waiting for you don't have to do anything just add your name to Inlinkz over on the post here....

Have  a great day everyone...
