Using Ribbons | Digital Scrapbooking Skills

Ribbons are a staple in every digital scrapbooking kit, it seems, so what do you do with them? There must be dozens of uses. Chelle’s talented friends have made a few pages to show us what they do. First, Roxana used Chelle’s Choose the Right {ETERNAL} kit for her baby’s baptism photos, and her page is  full of ribbons as accents. She wanted to showcase the pictures, so she made a big cluster, starting with a quickie (from here) that had 3 ribbons, modified it to match her shadow angle, then added the green and white ribbons behind the cluster and the curly ribbon coming from the big flower to the picture tying them all together. She also has ribbons on the tag and ring elements on the page. The ribbons add to the softness of the page visually, and they add a cohesive element all over.

Next, Helen used Happily Ever After to make her page. It’s the perfect kit since the two little ones in the photo are princesses. She has used the ribbons from the kit as horizontal strips on the page, and she has added ribbons and strings stapled to them along with clusters of elements. She also added leaves from In the Backyard, and the curly ribbons are from the CU Curly Ribbons.  I love that felt castle, and the tiaras – perfect.

Finally, Carol has some of the first baby pictures of her granddaughter, and she chose to use the perfect kit, Beary  Cute Baby Girl. She used the long ribbons in the kit placed in strips as the background for her photos. Then, she accented the clusters on the page with bows and curly ribbon. I love how she added a bow to the teddy bear’s neck, but the highlight of the page is the photo of that sweet baby touching her nose in her peaceful sleep.

What do you do with ribbons? Make a page with Chelle’s kits and show us in the Srappin Gallery. I would love to see it!
