Welcome to the May RRR Blog Hop.
If you arrived here from Cheryl’s blog, you are on the right track. If not, why not head back to the RRR Blog and start from the beginning so you don’t miss any of the terrific projects.
This month the Really Reasonable Ribbon Monthly Ribbon Club Assortment is a gorgeous collection of red, white and blue ribbons.
Not a member yet? JOIN TODAY and begin with this fabby assortment which contains 9 styles and 18 yards of ribbon and trim. Each month you will receive a color or holiday themed assortment. What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.
My card is a pretty basic design. I used the beautiful Lattice 3 die from Cheery Lynn Designs as the background with a blue layer and then a white mulberry paper layer before the card base. Then I also layered my sentiment and placed it over a layered band of ribbon across the center of the card.
The card was topped with a beautiful bi-color double-loop bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 and I edged the bottom of the sentiment with some beautiful Trellis Roses and Open Roses from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Now for my headband of the month…
This headband was created on a 1/2″ White Plastic Headband base using two of the ribbons from the May Ribbon Club assortment. This is the Easy Woven Ribbon headband and it really is easy. This is a great beginner headband.

Bonnie, your card is marvelous and the red, white and blue colors just pop. I love the May ribbon assortment the design team is using. The bows are always the best of the best!
Your cards are always amazing Bonnie. I love the fun little mulberry paper you use behind the focal part of your card. Your ribbons are always lovely on your projects. Thanks for sharing.
Love both the card and head band. Thanks for sharing.
As you know I love red, white, and blue. I am sure it is because I love our flag. Your card is so beautiful. I love cards like this. The sentiment is great! Your headband is so pretty. Love it! I can just see it in the hair of someone for the 4th. Thanks for sharing. Edwina Brown

I absolutely love your card Bonnie, just perfect for celebrating the 4th of July. Love the ribbons.
What a beautiful card. I love the torn mulberry paper. The sentiment you used is one of my favorites. It reminds me of when I used to make cards for OWH. Your hair band is just adorable too.
