About Crafty Ribbon:

"If you buy any more ribbon, you will have to sell some to get the money"

This chance remark in 1996 was the catalyst that prompted Ali to start Crafty Ribbons, which she runs together with her husband Tony. Crafty Ribbons aim is to offer ribbon lovers and crafters a wide, varied and interesting choice from some of the worlds best ribbons, at affordable prices. We also design and manufacture our own range of ribboncraft kits, including ribbon embroidery, weaving, mitred patchwork, teddy bears, and cushions.

Crafty Ribbons operates out of its own modern warehouse building, situated on the outskirts of Blandford Forum in Dorset, England. It is an Aladdins cave of delights. We believe that down Tin Pot Lane is probably to be found one of the finest collections of ribbons available.

Primarily we sell our ribbons from comprehensive displays, on stands at the major retail shows in the UK and France associated with hobbies and crafts, including sewing, knitting, needlecraft, embroidery, quilting, card making and scrapbooking.

So welcome to the wonderful and versatile world of ribbons - silks, satins, sheers, ombres, wire edge and much much more - A true Ribbon Emporium.

The Crafty Ribbons lorry... probably one of the largest wrapped parcels ever. If you see us out and about, give us a wave!

Inky Impressions Challenge - Birthday Creations!

Random Free Digi Winner:
#37 - Ali

Top 3:
#4 - Babette
#8 - Tanya S.
#20 - Karen C.

Congratulations to all of our winners, our Top 3 Badge can be found on the tab above called "Winner/Top 3 Banners" other wise all of our prizes can be claimed by emailing me at Inky.Impressions@hotmail.com!

This week we are also being sponsored by a fabulous digital scrapbooking kits, card making supplies, and hybrid scrapbooking...Nitwit Collections! Here is some information about Nitwit Collections:

Who does this Nitwit think she is?

Hi peeps! My name is Mary Fran and I am a craft-oholic! Whew… feels good to just say it, doesn’t it? I have been amusing myself through various outlets of creativity as long as I can remember. From the beginning of painting rocks into ladybugs to this newest love of digital scrapbooking. I have been scrapbooking in some way, shape or form for years now. This obsession of wanting to preserve my memories began with the humblest of supplies (safety scissors, glue, and magazines from the Salvation Army). The love today is exactly the same but the tools needed have tripled in value!

My thought behind offering my kits for sale is a fun endeavor for me. My primary focus in life is always to just try and squeeze as many happy moments and chuckles as I can from each and every day. When I first monkeyed around with making a kit it was simply for the pure fun of it all! The encouragement and the desire of others to actually share my creations is what has lead me to open this shop. This latest, in a long, long line of creative endeavors, has allowed me to fully explore my passion for creation as well as personal growth! Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive and kind!

Hi, my name is LG (Little General, and Mary's husband)! I am the assistant to the Head Nitwit (Mary Fran, of course)! I am the chief bottle washer, dog-letter-outer, administration guy, and all round good Joe. Mary Fran needed some more time to create her wonderful digital scrapbooking collections, and so I joined her to help give her this time. Good thing for all of us, don't you think? I'll leave the creating to her, because I seem to get side-tracked in the creating and just end up eating my paste!!ha,ha

Nitwit Collections is going to be giving away a $10 Gift Certificate to one lucky winner!
