Ribbon Makes The World More Colorful! Challenge 6

That's right! June at {SAR} is RIBBON month!

We are very excited to have Strano Designs

as our sponsor this month! Strano carries the
most beautiful grosgrain ribbon-stripes, dots

and solids in every color under the sun! In fact,

this post is written in the gorgeous colors of

India, most recently shown in Martha

Stewart Living magazine!

RibbonStiff is another cool product that

Strano carries. Once applied to the back of your

grosgrain ribbon, you can punch, die-cut, emboss

and stamp your ribbon! You can even add rub-ons

to the RibbonStiffed side! I told you it was cool!

So, here is the challenge for this month! Alter

something, anything, with ribbon! Yes, you can

use other product, but we really want to see what

you can do with ribbon! If you need some ribbon

or just some inspiration that looking at beautiful

ribbon can bring, visit Strano Designs.

When you are done with your ribbon project, please upload

a photo of it to your blog, Photobucket or your online

gallery. Leave us a link in the comments section of

this post by midnight, June 30. If it is easier for you,

please email us a photo. We will upload it to our

Ribbon Gallery.

Now go, make something more beautiful with ribbon!!
In the mean time, here is a little inspiration from the DT!
