And before I go, I want to share this card that I made using this week's Make it Monday at Papertrey Ink: Customizing ribbon. I made it for my friend, Beth, who is moving away at the end of the month. I wanted to let her know what a blessing our friendship has been to me.


I used Papertrey Ink cardstock (Kraft, Stamper's Select White and red), stamp (Beautiful Blessings), dies (Love Lives Here, Half& Half) and buttons. The twill was from my ribbon box and the teal cardstock is SU!

Thanks for looking!
