And a sneak peek of the project that I made. Come on over to the blog this week to see my finished project and others for inspiration of a nautical kind on the May Arts blog ALL WEEK!!!!
Ribbon organization can be very tricky. I used to keep mine in baskets and boxes and was not very fun trying to find what I needed. A few years ago I was surfing Craigslist to look for shelves that I could modify to use for storing spools of ribbon. I came across the most awesome find...two shelves that someone had built for their cassette collection...YES, I SAID CASSETTES! They were the perfect size for most spools. It has been such a great way to organize, I can see everything and reach up and pull the ribbon and cut what i need.
I call it my WALL OF COLOR and am often inspired just being in the room with it all. Be sure to visit our other blogs showing more ribbon organization ideas and be sure to comment on each of our blogs to be entered to win 3 SPOOLS of your choice from MAY ARTS!

Be Inspired. Always!
I recently had the chance to spend two days and a night with some fabulous ladies at The Applegate Lodge near Jacksonville, Oregon. Some I knew and some I had met for the first time. It had been nearly two years since I had a chance to attend a crop. It is so nice to have this part of my life back and to finally feel like I can create again.
It was great seeing everyone and catching up and sharing scrap time with you! Thanks Patty for the company and to Heather and Maureen for putting on a fantastic gathering!
Fun Times! Cant wait for the next one!
I have been waiting for this design team call for a couple of years..... its time to throw my hat back into the ring! I feel like I have been off to college and ready to come home...lol!

I have been in the industry for over 5 years now and there have always been particular companies that I would dream of working with. Most people know me for my Graphic45 story as it is the reason why I am in the industry in the first place. I got the opportunity not only to work with but work for Graphic45 and am so happy that they are celebrating their 5th anniversary this year...so proud to have been a part of it all!
I met Stacey at a Craft & Hobby Association show 3 years ago, I had been watching Spellbinders™ much longer than that but really had the opportunity to talk to Stacey and learn what it was all about and I made a note to self that I would love to work with them somehow, someday. If you know me, you know that I am not a "die cutter," I am a "fussy cutter." I was intrigued with the dies as they were much different than what was out there, but definetly struggled to figure out how to use and apply them in what I do.
Last year, I was given the opportunity to join the team as a Spellblogger. I have to admit that I actually cried. But honestly, I still struggled with all that I had before, not only NOT being a die cutter, but not a Cardmaker either. So why me?
Months went by, I did the best I could. I was a pain in the neck (still am) but as I kept using them, I got better at it, I believe. Then when I went to the Spellbinders retreat in Arizona last year...it all became apparent why I was here!
In January, they introduced their new Media Mixage line of products and it clicked!! I am so excited about all the new possibilities and was blown away to see my MIXED MEDIA project on the front page of the website today! Just had to share!
Thank you Spellbinders for taking a chance on me and making a girls dream come true!
Be sure to stop by the Spellbinders blog as well for the HOT AIR BALLOON that I created using a Cut, Fold and Tuck die...I really had fun with this one!
