Good morning :wave:

Here is my thank you card, I made it on request specially for Polly who wanted to see Iris folding. I then just stuck a peel off border around the card and coloured in a silver thank you sticker.

Lookie what I found while browsing (instead of making my card! )

We were talking about ribbon not so long ago well look, a good way of storing lots of ribbons - in a Huggies Wipes container - mse and ingenious too!

Thats brilliant mumoftwo !! Never tried iris folding and I think there's something in one of the magazines I've got about it. Might have a try if it's not too complicated...............beautiful card.:j

qwiksave - brilliant idea and don't your ribbons look neat and tidy.........you should see my box of oddments.............lol A friend gave me most of them and they're stuffed in a hat box..........lol
Not got any babies so not got Huggies box though..........must be another way

No, Mary they aren't my ribbons, I found the image on photobucket - some people manage to be creative and tidy!:eek: - didn't think those two words go together :rotfl: ! My ribbons are shoved somewhere in a box too! I have got a Huggies container somewhere tho', as I use the baby wipes to wipe my rubber stamps, so maybe I could tidy up my ribbons...? Everything else will still be a mess but my ribbons will be sorted!

lol..................think I might leave mine where they are............its quite fun getting them out to see what I can use. Sometimes, being organised takes the pleasure out of it.............within reason of course...............lol:j
