I don't know why BUT

I am soooooo intimidated by RIBBON!!!!!!

Even with that ribbon challenge....I did a few....but I gotta tell you it scares me!!

I am just not comfortable with it .....YET.

But I am looking at some layouts....and I am thinking maybe an eyelet setter might make me more comfortable....

I think I am going shopping today.

Michael's here I come!!

Anybody need anything while I am there???

Get a ribbon slot punch. It has two rectangle side by side and makes is alot easier to use ribbon.

At first glance I thought Ribbon was a Mommysaver or someone you knew offline lol!! I'm glad it's just a decoration - those are easier to defeat!

LOL. I am a little intimidated too! I have just been copying other peoples stuff until I get comfortable with it. BUT an eyelet setter is a MUST!! I just got mine and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!!

OH, I LOVE my cropodile, too! I got more comfortable with ribbon by making cards. This last scrapbooking crop also really taught me a thing or two. Putting ribbon across a picture was a total new concept...but I liked it! Do you own a lot of ribbon? It might help to get some variety...and especially different widths. I found that I am not nearly as overwhelmed by the super narrow ribbon that just enhances a page oh so slightly! LOL

I have found that by using the selfadhesive type for a while I got over my fear and now I love all types of ribbon!

That's funny
