It's Ribbon-licious!

Its that time again ladies.......




That's right - time for the DeNami Blog Hop! And this time its all about the ribbons! Now if you are following along in order, you should have arrived here from the talented Andrea Matthews


Now I have to say, this one was a little bit of a challenge for me - not in the idea department - no I had plenty of those but particularly in the "supply" area. As a general rule I don't do a lot with ribbon except as a little embellishment here a little bow there. So when I got ready to do this hop I realized....ummmm yeah - I should probably keep a larger variety of ribbon on hand.


So when coming up with an idea - I went to one of my favorite stamps - the daisy!






Now this next little number I came up with just yesterday while I was reviving my crafty mojo with my friend in Charleston. Of course I had to use the ribbon that was on hand (unfortunately not Denami oh but I am going to do another one with a slightly different take using Denami ribbon). Even though its not Denami - I couldn't resist showing it off!




Oh I hear what you are thinking "I thought she said she didn't have a lot of ribbon on hand?". Yeah - I don't. Just so happens that all of this is from two little packages of coordinating ribbon that I picked up ummmm 5+ years or so ago on clearance that has just been sitting there....and sitting there....and sitting there. Guess what? Used it ALL up on this little project! Take that ribbon pack - no more taunting me from the other side of the room!



Next up on the Hop is Pam Wendt and if her creation is anything like it was last hop - you are in for a TREAT! If you are taking a break or get lost along the way - just stop back by the DeNami Blog to get yourself back on track!
