Welcome Paper Issues Blog Hoppers!

Hi friends!
Today is an exciting day! Today kicks off our fabulous Paper Issues blog hop AND a new 'Issue'...(for those of you hopping along in order, this is old news, but for those of you just joining us...)

WELCOME TO OUR TREE HUGGER BLOG HOP!

If you're hopping over from The fabulous Polka Cabana...welcome to you! And if you're just getting started here at Ribbon, Glitter and Glue, be sure to hop over to the Paper Issues blog for the complete list of blogs that you'll want to visit this weekend. Believe me, you won't want to miss seeing any of the amazing projects by this super creative team and you don't want to miss out on any of the fun giveaways that are being offered up along the way!!

For my little stop on the hop, here's the card I was inspired to create...

I love fall. I love everything about this season. Colorful leaves. Pumpkin patches. Chunky sweaters. Starbucks Salted Caramel Mochas and Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Season Premieres. Crisp, sunny days. Sunflowers, Mums and Rosehips. Anniversaries. Did I mention that today is also a happy day because hubby & I are celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary?!? Another reason I love fall! (And I digress...)
FALL! It's a season full of so much joy...it's a colorful, yummy smelling, bountiful, blessed season.


To create this card I used new patterned paper and a sticker from the super cute American Crafts Night Fall collection, some new Thickers from the lovely Amy Tangerine collection, some of my favorite Lily Bee alphas, some twine from The Twinery and a darling button from Doodlebug. I really love the traditional fall colors of orange, brown and yellow with a bit of light blue tossed in...how about you?

To celebrate this blog hop and kick-off fall, I'm offering up a little giveaway to one of you, my dear readers! I have a $10.00 Paper Issues gift certificate up for grabs!!
(Have you checked out the Paper Issues shop recently? So much goodness there.)

For a chance to win, all you need to do is leave me a comment! Simple, eh? On Monday I'll choose a random winner. Also, if you're not a 'Follower' of Ribbon, Glitter and Glue, I'd really love for you to become one. Start following my blog & leave me another comment telling me you did that and I'll put your name in the hat twice!

Now, let's get on with this hop, shall we? For the next inspiring stop, hop on over and visit the fantastic Corri Garza at Bug Lover Cards.
Or if you didn't start at the Paper Issues intro page, you can hop back here for the complete blog hop list and details about the 25% off coupon to the Paper Issues store that is available this weekend!
Also, don't forget that the new Tree Hugger theme runs from 9/16 through 9/30...so don't forget to link up your Tree Hugger inspired projects for us all to see!

Thanks for hopping by!

    Bethany, I came upon your ADORABLE blog via the Paper Issues hop. I've got to say, I just LOVE ♥ love your sweet autumnal card. Liked it so much I saved it to my "Steal This Idea" file!! Really super. Rather than leave you a separate comment, I will say that I am now a proud/happy follower, and plan to be back often. THANK YOU!!!

    P.S. -- Today is also my parents' anniversary, though they're now up to 60 YEARS!! woo-hoo.

    Stop over at my blog for a different sort of hop (bark, bark) and to see my parents' pic.

    Blessings to you,
