Paper Bows

Now here is something cute/easy/different - whenever I'm stuck with a card or page, one of my bad habits is to immediately reach for my ribbon stash. It usually ends up adding a great finishing touch to a project, but I call it a "bad" habit because it is such an easy out for me - I'm sure I could challenge myself more to find different techniques to use...

Anyway, the ribbon wh*re in me (that's a shout-out to my fellow retreat-ers wish an obsession for ribbon!) *squee*'d with delight when I saw this - easy, light, not TOO dimensional (for when you're mailing cards) and infinitely customizable to the product you're working with - check it out! PAPER BOWS!
