This card didn’t make the Manly card cut – the ribbon was too Frou-Frou:

• Sense of Time, Bliss (SAB) and Sincere Salutations stamp sets
• Naturals White, Baja Breeze, Pear Pizazz and Night of Navy card stock
• Baja Breeze, Pear Pizazz and Night of Navy Classic ink pads
• Large oval and Decorative Label punches
• Baja Breeze seam binding and Sticky Strip
• Piercing tool, mat and template
• Stampin’ Sponges

Collage is such fun.  I have to remind myself not to get too fussy with it, but to just let it flow and be happy with the results.  Doesn’t that sound like a good way to live your life?

That ruffled ribbon is VERY easy – just brush the cut edges of the seam binding until you can grab a couple of threads in the middle – I use tweezers – and pull.  When the ribbon is bunched up halfway, turn it around and do the same thing from the other end.  Don’t trim the ends too much – stick those long strings on some sticky strip and then press the ruffled ribbon down and Voila! – it will be fabulous, dahling.
