For today's Stamp Simply challenge... You’ve Been Tabbed! Today’s challenge is all about little bits of ribbon — ribbon TABS that is. Rather than adorning our card with wrapped ribbon or bows, let’s just use a bit of ribbon and make ribbon tabs — wide, narrow, whatever — let’s just make sure we have at LEAST one ribbon tab on our project today. Anything else goes!! Let’s all show each other how much fun we can have with our little scraps of ribbon!!! Anything you can do with a small piece of ribbon is what we’re after! And the most important rule — HAVE FUN!!!
Check out the complete details, and a gorgeous sample from Sharon Johnson on her blog! She's used some of her beautiful May Arts gingham ribbon on her card! GLG!!! Incidentally, did you know Sharon sells May Arts ribbon through her blog? She has a beautiful selection, at wonderfully reasonable prices! Check it out here!
Also, be sure to check out wonderfully tabbed designs from the rest of the Stamp Simply team!

I ordered the cutest stamps for the store recently from Custer's Last Stamp! They arrived today, and gosh darn if some of my paycheck didn't get spent on stamps again! It's a wonder sometimes that I bring home any money at all! I just could not resist Flossie here in her beach chair reading the latest gossip, nor Floyd laying there buried in the sand!
For my ribbon tabs, I used this fabulously-bright pink and orange gingham ribbon that I got from Sharon! Inside my card says "I was tickled pink! Thank you!"
I'd love to know what you think of my Flossie girl!
Many sincere thanks to all of you for your comments and prayers yesterday for the Grande family. It was a very sobering day, and unless a miracle happens, it appears that it is God's will to take this young man home at an early age. The reports we have heard is that he has no brain activity, and has been kept alive on life support since arriving at an Akron hospital on Wednesday night until his mother and sister can fly in from Nevada. We also learned today that it was not the middle brother who shot him, but the youngest one who is in Kelsey's class. He's only 12. My girls are both devastated. This family is just your typical family that likes to hunt and shoot, and unfortunately are now suffering from a tragic accident. The entire student body at the high school is wearing camo to school tomorrow in support. The whole thing is made more difficult because the kids also want to celebrate how excited they are with the basketball team doing so well. Give your loved ones an extra big hug tonight for Nick, and continue praying for this family if you would please! Thanks! (Friday, 7:25 a.m. edited to add... we learned early this morning that Nick passed away yesterday from his injuries.)
