Today's whole card was made so that I could use this ribbon!
When Stampin' Up or Papertrey Ink comes out with new cardstock colors, the first thing that I do is cut a sample that I can keep in my billfold. Then when I am in a craft store and the ribbon is on sale, I try to find ribbons that match the cardstock.
Yesterday, I had a sample of the new Stampin' Up color - Pool Party - and I found this beautiful, satiny, ruffled ribbon at Hobby Lobby. It's so soft and sweet. (FYI - for this card, I did layer on a sheer polka dot ribbon too - that's not part of the actual ribbon.)
So I knew whatever the sketch was for today, I would be using the ribbon!!
There is some smooch on the ribbon and buggy - I do have a close-up on my blog.

Kim, this is just too cute!! Love that ribbon, I do the same too. We just got a HL near us and I have yet to visit it. Guess I'll be bringing my cs swatches with me. Love the sentiment with that image, precious!
