On Friday, I made a stop at the most fabulous Seattle A Muse store. I love that place :) It is always so much fun to be there...I always loop through twice since there is sooo much to see and "take in". I contained my spending...mostly....I only bought a couple stamps, a bottle of stickles and 3 sheets of thee most gorgeous 12x12 dp...you'll see that soon. Earlier this week, I tapped into SCS's buy forum and found a gal selling a LOAD of A Muse images....oh my goodness....I bought a ton...what can I say....I **love** A Muse! I've been sooo good about NOT tapping into the buy forum and then *BAM*...
This is for a co-worker of mine {hi r!}. We're celebrating her birthday today along with another gal's {hi k!}. As I was trying to figure out what I wanted to design for her, I knew it had to do something with dogs...puppies. She just adopted not one but two litter mates! I don't know if you can tell, but I used my white signo pen on the roof and the dog bones {my inkssentials was downstairs and I was creating upstairs...call me lazy}. I also glitterized the bones...I had to add some glitz!
I have soooooo much ribbon it is insane...I "found" the wide chocolate and green grosgrain at the bottom of my green bag....I have my ribbons in humongous zip lock bags by color. It is a system that works for me...I just grab the colors that I think will work for my project and find what I like. I keep my SU and RABOM solid grosgrain separate from the others..those are in ribbon keepers. What do YOU do with your RIBBONS?! I'd love to hear about your ribbon organization...

The card is adorable - love the color combo and the yummy ribbon!
I store my ribbons in plastic containers (like shoe boxes only see thru and with click shut tops) I keep on a shelf above my work table... and I store them by what kind of ribbon - grosgrain, figured grosgrain, satin, sheer etc - I have two just for my PTI ribbons as I keep them separate. It seems to work for me.
Don't you adore your inkssentials pen? I like it way better than the signo.
My ribbon is in a huge basket, a sewing basket, and a large iris cart drawer. It's completely unorganized, and a total disaster. I think I might try your bag idea. You don't take it off the spool, do you?
What's RABOM?
Your doggie card is simply adorable! I know she'll love it and probably need to have you make more of them! LOL
