Hi!!! I had such a great, great week at Stampin’ Up! Convention 2012 last week!!!  Read below the video if you want to hear more about a few of my classes.  I will work on getting my pictures edited so I can show them to you!

Anyway, today’s video is all about tying ribbon!  For some people, tying ribbon is a real challenge and this quick and easy tip is a great way to tie ribbon easier, as well as to use a bit less.  If you need a bigger cylinder (in the video I show the Stampin’ Mist 2 oz. Spray Bottle #102394), I use the Stampin’ Mist 8 oz. Refill Bottle #101022.  Of course, you can use any cylindrical objects in your own home, but these are super handy for me as they are already in my stamp room!

On Wednesday, I took 2 great classes.  Donna Griffith facilitated the first class I went to – “I am savvy.” and featured awesome presentations by Dawn Griffith, Meg Wheeler, and Laura Milligan.  Be watching my blog in the coming months for some fun ways to use ribbon that I learned from Dawn, neat ways to use fabric from Laura, and using the new English Ivy Stationary Kit and Personalized Stamp in different ways from Meg!  The second class was taught by Carrie Cudney and was called “I am open for business.”  She talked about the new places we’ll be seeing Stampin’ Up! pop up as they launch advertisements online and in magazines toward the end of the month.  I’m very excited about the ads as they are super cute and fun!!!  I can’t wait to see more of them!!!

I would love to show my favorite ribbon techniques to you at a class or party soon!!!  Contact me today to schedule your fun stamping event with your friends!!!
