Studio5 Segment: Vintage Prize Ribbon Repurposed & Xyron Giveaway

Today I was the guest of Studio5 in Salt Lake City. My first TV experience. What fun and kind hosts, Darin & Amy. I’m still walking on air. It’s a bit hard to see myself on camera but I can see how one could get really used to working in front of one. You can click on either image to watch the craft segment. Just as they appear to go to commercial the clip will take you right back to a short interview with me.I’m amazed at all the people and work that goes into putting a one hour show like this together. I am so grateful to have been contacted by and finally meet producer Stephanie Bryson, not only did she make the whole experience fun and stress-free, but she made me feel like a superstar. Thank you Stephanie. Here are a few shots of the pieces I shared and a couple that never made it into the frame but were hanging on dress forms nearby.Vintage Brooches and buttons (above) and Bling from Michael’s (below).Note: adding your own extra ribbon pieces (in pink above) helps hide any small stains on the vintage ribbon rosettes.

And if you were watching and thinking, what’s up with her bow tie? Time was a bit too tight for a chance to show how to repurpose the printed (foil-stamped) streamers left over from the prize ribbons…and fold them into unique bows, which I did and pinned with a little brooch.

THE GIVEAWAY! If you watched the craft segment, you can see the Xyron 5″ Create a Sticker in action. Xyron is giving away the same machine to two lucky JSIM readers!

Congratulations to #53 Peg and #25 Connie!!
