Friday FREEBIE - 45

clock November 25, 2011 09:03 by author Crafty Ribbons

"ALL hands to the pumps"....well no not pumps but ribbons!  Yes I am wanted..........helping with despatching orders.  The girls have a STRICT order number system of pulling orders.  No order jumps the queue unless it is a City Link order.

BUT - "I do not want to do that one, or that one, I will do the easy ones........the ones with only one or two items". NO Ali, by order number....BUT.............BUT............... I felt like a naughty child.  My ball I will do what I want!!!!  In the end Rachie and Bev grudgingly allowed me to pick the easy orders, so if your order arrived sooner then you thought and it only had a few items in it............ you have me to thank, I picked your order!!!

I have already been told that I am packing orders today, I like doing this, I get to choose which "I'm FREE" ribbon to give.  Little things!

As I have been roped into help with the orders I have got rather behind with my own work.  I have piles of Challenge goodies to photograph (thank you) I hope to start this over the weekend and share next week. 

I am late with my DT project for the Challenge blog, which started yesterday - sorry everyone.  

 

Challenge 7 is being hosted by Bonnie and it is -  Make a Tag.  Tags and ribbons were made for each other..............and tags need a parcel to go on............................

 

How simple is that.

Looking at the tag I think I should have put white card behind the snowflake as the lime is not a perfect match.  The ribbons I used were Go Grosgrain snowflakes here, Let it snow here and 3mm satin here.  For even more tag inspiration then have a look at the Design teams creations - totally fab here.

Bev has also come up with a NEW Bev's bag....................(DO NOT panic if you have not got round to ordering the Christmas ones, she has left those on the site as well.) 

You know what Bev is like, she fancied a NEW colour way, this time she has gone for Plum Pudding.

........oooooh yummmie, maybe she should have done a side bag of lashings of cream and white ribbons!!!  You can find Bev's NEW Ribbon Bag HERE

OR..........

....we have four Bev's bags for this weeks Friday FREEBIE.  For a chance to win, just leave us a comment and we will pick four winners on Monday.

Oh well the order packing table is calling me.

Have a fab weekend.

Hi Ali I love the green behind the snowflake , last year I used some ribbon that looks much the same as your snowflake green ribbon but in blue I used it on cards and did the snowflakes punched out and blue backing , I loved them, and the ribbon looked delish
As for Bev's Bag Yummbles, is that a word? I love plum pudding and I love the look of Bev's new bag
Have a good weekend
Love Jan

Hi there

Just wanted to say I love your tag, although like you, I think maybe white would have shown up better than the green.  I'd LOVE to win one of Bev's bags, so keeping my fingers crossed.

Have a great weekend.

Hi Ali; like your gift wrapping with the green ribbons very much - a bit different from traditional colours and fresh-looking!

And the tag looks godd with the snowflake punched out in the middle of nowhere!

What a lovely combination of ribbons. I am sure that I could find all sorts of different uses for these as they combine so well. I am finishing up my first ribbon embroidery kit from this site and highly recommend it - I did the diamond, but there are many to choose from. Not too difficult for beginners, with clear intructions and lovely results.

Having a quiet day at home today, had a busy week so thought I would look back at your last years advent ribbon ideas for some tips, they are great, will get started on a couple and hope that you will be showing us more this year if you are not to busy with all our orders for the new Bevs bags. Love the colours and a chance to win one is great.
Have a good weekend to ALL.
