Use That Ribbon!

Time for another Use It Tuesday challenge!  This time it is to use your ribbon.  Now, the ribbon doesn't have to be hoarded, but something in your project does.  And let's be honest - who doesn't have some hoarded ribbon out there?  I know you do.  So use it!

I decided to create an 8x8 layout this time.  I got the idea of weaving the ribbon, but I didn't know what else to do.  So, I turned to a card sketch actually (ScrapbookSteals MCM #98).  The brown and green ribbon I got for Christmas 2010, and I had used very little of it.  The multi-color polka dot ribbon is actually recycled from MOPS name tags last year.  At the last meeting, I unstrung the name tags that were being tossed just for the ribbon and a few beads.

I had originally had the ribbon on top, but I didn't know what to put on the bottom.  Then I got the idea of the clouds.  I stamped them on some hoarded self-adhesive paper and then cut them out.  The ribbon of course is made out of more ribbon and a hoarded button (most likely from pre-2000).  It is a simple layout, but there isn't much room for things with a photo that size...

So play along!  Once you have your project done, link up on the Use It Tuesday blog.  Make sure you state what is hoarded and get your projects in before Friday, September 7!
