25 Ways to Use Ribbon

Yesterday, I shared that I was trying to get organized in anticipation of some major summer scrapping. With that in mind, I thought it would be nice to dedicate this whole week to getting organized and cleaning out not only my craftroom but also the cobwebs from my brain by sharing some helpful list that I've saved over the years. Perhaps you are new to scrapbooking, perhaps you are a pro, either way, from one ribbon lover to another, enjoy!
