Ribbon, Ribbon and more Ribbon

It is Organization Week at Really Reasonable Ribbon this week.










Here is how I organize my huge stash of ribbons.  It works for me and keeps everything neat and orderly.  The sheer ribbons I wind around foam cards and the other ribbons are on cardboard cards and everything is put in drawers by colors.  The shorter lengths are kept in shallow baskets.  It took me what seemed like forever to get all my collection of ribbons on the cards.  But I really love having them all neat in the drawers and I can find what I am looking for very easily.

Fancy Free 4 Ever, The Hotspot, One Stop Craft, Simon Says Stamp, Little Red Wagon, Woodware USA, The Crafty Pad, Crafty Cardmakers and Alphabet Challenge

Here is my card for these challenges.  Printed papers are Paper Studio; stamped sentiment is SU; ribbon from Hobby Lobby; EK Success epoxy heart; faux pearls that I colored red to match.  TFL
