New Ribbon Kit and competition.

Just to remind you, there are only a few days left to enter the Poppicrafts competition. The rules are to make a card or altered item using ribbon. The winner wil be chosen based on originality for use of the ribbon. The winner will receive 50 yards of mixed ribbons (1 yard of each of the 50 designs, as shown above). Unfortunately, only one person has entered so far - which doesnt really make it a competition does it?? I hope a few of you will have a go!

Also, the new "Sunshine" ribbon kit has been released today. It is the usual kit price of £5.99 if any of you fancy a look. It is a bit different to the usual pink based kits, so I hope you like it.

And last but certainly not least, this was my little girl on Friday, when she came home from pre-school. Usually, as soon as we get in I start getting tea, while Riley and Poppi play together, when I called them both only Riley came into the kitchen. She never ever falls asleep anywhere, except in bed, obviously. She had obviously found her dummy, tigger and towel. We call Poppi and Riley the towlettes in our house, as neither of them will go to bed without there little squares of towels and Poppi has to have "the silky bit" (thats the label by the way) by her face. She must have just been so, so tired - bless her!

And this was Riley after a birthday party at the weekend - and yes there were tears when we had to wash it off, as he would no longer be "the real spiderman".

TFL have a good evening.

Monthly Competition

The poppicrafts shop, is now selling ribbon by the yard. I have set it up so that you can shop by type, colour or width - I hope this makes it easier for you when seeking out a specific type.

Anyway, to celebrate the launch I am giving away 50 yards of yummy ribbons. Included are velvet, patterned and plain grosgrain, and patterned and plain satin.

So obviously, the challenge has to be this:

To make a card or altered item, using ribbon (as much as you like) The winner will not be pulled from a hat, but judged purely on originality for use of the ribbon. So ladies, get your thinking caps on and show me what you can do. Heres one that I made I while back ( i think I may have even blogged it before) but who knows, it may inspire you.....

Closing date will be April 6th, with the winner being announced on the 7th. Good luck and have fun.
