May Arts Design Team Call Round #2 !! =)

Today I have some projects that I have made using the FABULOUS and VERSATILE May Arts Ribbons!! I have decided to go with a BABY THEME and I have made several projects that could be transformed into any theme of projects you are looking for!! I have also made video's for you to watch so that you can see and learn first hand how to make these projects and transform them into whatever you need them to be!!  I have also posted all of the ribbon information under each project so that you can find the May Arts Ribbons that I have used with ease. So go and create AWESOME projects using May Arts Ribbon today!! =)
First I have created two brag books. One for a girl and then the other for an older boy!! I have decided to show you how fun it is to use your sizzix machine and dies to create your own acrylic mini albums using Clear Scraps 12x12 Acrylic sheets.  Then I wanted to show you that you can punch through the acrylic and stitch it using ribbons instead of using thread.  You end up with the most AMAZING detail.  Here are the photos and the videos to show you how to make your own!! THANKS for watching I hope you enjoy them!!

Please Come and visit mayarts.com to see all that is going on!! They have a FABULOUS blog and will be show casing all of the Design Team Finalists during the week of May 30th.  So come and check out all of the fun and talented designers trying out for a spot on the May Arts Design Team.  Also, stay tuned because the Design Team Announcement will be made on June 6th and I have a feeling that your not going to want to miss it!!
