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!

KT Crafts is sponsoring {SAR} this month! If you haven't been over there to check them out, please do! They are a great bunch of creative gals who love to play with paper and glue! While you are visiting, be sure to check out their store! They are offering a Gift Certificate as a prize for the winner of this month's challenge. WooHoo!

Speaking of this month's challenge...the DT from KT Crafts has chosen a fun one for us this month! Birhouses! That's right. Time to feather your nest, so to speak! I know that Michaels and JoAnns has a lot of different styles in stock right now. Or maybe you are one of the lucky ones whose DH is handy and can make you one. However you come about one, make it pretty for our fine feathered friends!

When you have finished your birhouse, take a photo of it and upload it to your blog, your favorite scrapbook website or to Photobucket, then leave us a link to your photo in the comments section of this post by midnight on Saturday May 31st. You can always email us if that's easier for you. We will put them in our Birdhouse Gallery. Come play with us this month! Most of all - have fun!
