Hi everyone, I'm back! Even though I haven't been updating my blogs for quite some time, I do have photos of some crafts that I made recently. I've made several altered journals, one for a swap and another for my best friend, Yenny! I don't think Yenny will be viewing this, so it's going to be a surprise for her.
There are many types of ribbons available in the market for scrap-booking and card-making. You can use gingham, satin, grosgrain, ric rac and they are available in various patterns, such as polka dots, cartoons, stitches and more. Just be sure to pick ribbons that are scrapbook safe, especially if you're using them near or on photos to avoid them from staining the photos.
In the first photo, I've use scraps of ribbons and just tie them on each ring binder of the journal. For Yenny's journal, I've tied the ribbons around the ring that is used to attach the pages together. The ribbons are also used to decorate the cover of the journal. You can also use ribbons to decorate your journal page or for a bookmark, like the ones in the third photo. This is a great way to use up all your leftover ribbons and not waste them. Attached with stapler or mini brads, they instantly brighten up the journal page, don't you think? Hope you like the ideas I've shared.
Guess what? I have more ribbons for sale! These are sold by yard, price starts from RM1.50 per yard (1 yard = 91.44 cm), so they're very affordable. To Carol, your ink pad set and sticker will be on their way today! Thanks for being my first customer. *hugs*
