A Cool New Ribbon Tool

Before starting our weekend Crop, we stopped by our favorite scrapbook store 

www.scrappininthecity.com to check out the lastest and greatest 

things available in scrapbooking.

They always have something different to make your pages really pop. 

 This is the tool they shared with us this trip.

  Sew Ribbon

We loved it and used on so many pages that I lost count! 

Cost is $14.99

Here is how it works....

 Magnets hold the paper between the two sides of the tool. 

You press the blade with a little pressure into the slots.

 This creates the cuts for the ribbon to slide through.

 Once you have pierced them all, remove tool and start sewing your ribbon.  It is that easy! 

Here are two of the many pages we created using this cool new tool,

(Please forgive the poor photography, I am still learning)

Here's a close up

It comes in 4 or 5 different patterns, so your ribbon will take on a whole new look, 

depending on which style you choose to use.

Happy Scrappin!

Crop Retreats

I mentioned yesterday that some of my best girlfriends and I are going on a

 week-end scrapbooking retreat.

 We have been counting down the days for months now.

 The excitement is just too much and

 I am about to pop!

There is just something about getting away, piling up, and scrapbooking with
 women who love it like you do, that is so much fun!

For this trip we have chosen to get away, on our own,
 to a vacation resort a few hours away from our hometown.
We will be hauling our own tables, lamps and food up to a large 3 bedroom condo.
Setting up and tearing it all down by ourselves.
We  decided to do it this way because of our varying schedules,
and to save a little money.

With that being said, let me say this,
there is an easier way!

Two years ago, my friends and I went on a retreat hosted by

  http://scrappininthecity.com/.

This is my favorite scrapbooking store, hands down!

These ladies really know what they are doing when it comes to all things scrapbooking.
We were pampered and fed the whole week-end.
We received a t-shirt, goody bag, food and plenty of room to scrap. They also bring lots of extra supplies and card stock to each retreat so you never have to worry about not having something you might need.

The cabin was beautiful and we had a wonderful time!
Thank you City Chicks for making it so fun!
They host several of  these retreats through out the year so
if you are thinking of going on a week-end scrapbooking retreat, I would start with them!
