This CAS challenge comes at the perfect time. I realized I was hoarding ribbon... I stored it in boxes in my expedit which were starting to overflow. I didn't even know what ribbon I had any more. I also haven't been using it much projects lately. So one of my crafting new year's resolutions is to use some of my beautiful ribbon. This weekend I went to Ikea to buy some picture ledges to display my ribbon above my craft table so it's no longer out of sight/out of mind. (Here's my new storage for anyone who's interested: www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2599501) I have *FOUR* rolls of the ribbon I used on this card!!! Raspberry Fizz by PTI was one of my wedding colors and Melon Mambo is almost an exact match. I love this 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon, too, so when it was retiring, I decided to stock up... One day I'll create a wedding scrapbook. (It's only been almost 4 years now!! lol.. but one day!!) I figured it'd be a good one to use for this challenge since I have so much of it and I'm not moving too fast to do a wedding album.
I also used a stamp set that my step sister gave me a while ago (Nice and Easy Notes) - I started making her cards as a thank you, but sadly haven't finished yet. So that's another resolution - finish making cards for her!!!
Some details about the card that are hard to see in the picture:
- The roses on the teapot and teacup were colored in with a Melon Mambo marker and then I put Dazzling Diamonds on them
- The Melon Mambo layer was embossed with the Large Polka Dot EF
- The Very Vanilla layer was popped up with Dimensionals on a Very Vanilla card base
TFL!

Wonderful with this ribbon. I agree.....out of sight..... I have about 400 rolls of ribbon, and decided to put it down in the basement, and get what I wanted when I needed it, but I seem to just be using white. Maybe I should rethink???!
