Ribbon Oasis - Monthly Ribbon Kits

[buzzybea]

I have been asked by a few people why there is no place to discuss the yummy Ribbon Oasis kits - so here we go.....

....our latest ribbon kit went live today - have you got yours yet?

Ribbon Oasis Kits can be found here (http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/index.php?cPath=102)

The kits are monthly and are great value for money. They are themed to the ocassions throughout the year and of course offer splashes of great colour combinations to build on your fantastic ribbon stash, to use and hopefully draw inspiration from.

The kits go "live" towards the end of each month and no later than the 1st. The Ribbon Oasis kit is totally optional no need to commit for any long term period - we do bulk purchase most items and there may be kits left over each month (time will tell) these will be left on site as they will be great colour collections to any new customers to the Oasis.

Every third kit has a competition with it and the prize is the the following months kit.

Any questions please feel free to ask - we are always happy to help if we can

[Siany]

Hello Bea, just placed my order:), and I can't wait to get it :D

[buzzybea]

Hello there - great thing with this thread I will get to know peeps UKS names now as well - your kit is safely put aside and will be winging its way airmail tomorrow (hope it doesn't take too long to get there.

[Siany]

Oooooh, can't wait, it doesn't take long. I'll have to start using them instead of just looking at them lol.

[Betsy_ Boop]

Just ordered mine earlier too, can't wait :)

[buzzybea]

Hi Monica - I am sure it will be with you soon. I have lots of images to upload to the gallery but alas I have ran out of hours today so that task will now be doen tomorrow

[Sprogpaws]

I was the very lucky bunny who won the Winter Wonderland competition, and I received my prize this morning, the gorgeous 'Hearts Desire' February kit, and it is so lush. It's absolutely beautiful, even more special than it looks in the photo. I can't wait to start using it, I may even have to dig into it this afternoon! I've still got mountains left from January's kit, there so much in it and it's really great value. Thanks very much to Bea (and Stu!!) for coming up with these seriously yummy stash treats! :wub:

[AJH]

Hi everyone

How fab to have this place to chat about all things ribbon and Ribbon Oasis related , very exciting ! Thank you Bea for starting this.
I have to totally and wholeheartedly agree with Bea about the fab value of the kits , and such wonderful choices too . I have been lucky enough to have all 3 of the kits, the latest Hearts Desire one having been sent for DT work, they have all been so jam packed full of gorgeous ribbons and extras, buttons , etc and this months diamonte heart slider is just oh so gorgeous . I think this latest one has been my favourite and I am not usually a 'pink' person ! Oh and the kits go on forever and ever , I just to be able to create so much with them and still have lots left over !

A huge well done to you Pam for winning the 'Winter' comepetition, such a fab LO , I can imagine it must have been a difficult choice for you Bea and Stu as there are loads of lovely entries in the gallery.

I was the very lucky bunny who won the Winter Wonderland competition

Congrats, it's a gorgeous LO :D

[buzzybea]

I do hope you will share any projects you do with your kit Sprogpaws. It is great to see what creations everyone makes.

Thank you Anita for your vote of confidence - I must agree those little crystal sliders are great, the photo doesn't do them justice with how much they sparkle.

[tracygough]

Congratulations Pam on your winning LO, it was stunning, I'm so glad i didn't have to judge the entries, they were all so fab.
These kits are deffinatley value for money, and so scrummy:wub: and each one has something a little bit different in them. I had the first kit, (the Christmas one) and it was so hard to stop stroking and actually produce something for the DT with it. I did ask Bea at the time if it was OK just to send a photo of me stroking it for the gallery.:lol: but she made me use it, i had so much fun with it, i still have loads left to stroke though.:D
Have you all seen the fabulous work the DT have done with the latest kit?, they have done loads of gorgeous projects to inspire you. Well done ladies, your work is amazing!

[purplewillie]

The kit looks real yummy, have just ordered.
Do you send out an e.mail when the new kit is on site?

[Trudyw]

I ordered it yesterday it was so lovely:)

[ruthy40]

I had the Feb kit as part of the DT it is really really yummy. I loved working with it. I also bought the Jan kit which was equally as yummy cant wait to see what the other kits are like; they are such good value and so much lush ribbon
Thanks Bea and Stu x

[kimmie_35]

Oooh, I'm all excited, just ordered one... looks like fun!
Kim

[Trudyw]

Mine has turned up today off to open it.

[Sprogpaws]

I haven't used mine yet, I keep just stroking it with a silly smile on my face and an adoring look in my eyes! I've got plans for it, but I just can't bear to hurt it with the nasty scissors!!

[Trudyw]

Have just opened it and WOW it is fantastic thank you so much

[buzzybea]

I can see Royal Mail have been on form - I don't have a bad word to say against them.

Purplewillie - I usually drop a note in the sponsors forum and now we have a little place to chat then I will pop a note in here. I also update my signature when the next kit is previewing, giving people lots of chance to see if they like it - I am always happy to reserve kits once people know they like them.

Good to hear you like it Trudy - it would be great to see your creations.

Sprogpaws - you can't stroke these things forever, I can understand some of the heavily paterned decorative ribbons not getting over used as they have to match/compliment the project in hand but hopefully the kit is brimming with ribbons that just need to be used.

I am hoping to get some time to have a play with the ribbons and tin myself this weekend, want to make a special insert/heart book for Stu for valentines day (I guess I really need to make 2 as Melissa our DD would love one as well).

[BeesBabe1975]

Just ordered my yummy kit!! Can't wait to get it!!

[AJH]

Sprogpaws - it is soooo difficult cutting into those gorgeous ribbons first of all isnt it ... ! I just didnt want to spoil mine ! I must admit though that once I did I was well away and couldnt stop using them.

Bea I hope you get a chance to play with the ribbons and tin soon. That sounds a lovely idea for your heart book, I have now cut some little chipboard hearts , painted them and they have patterned paper one side and silly little notes / sayings on the reverse . Loved the little heart book in the DT gallery. Roughly what date do we get the next sneak peek ? Shouldnt be asking I know as its only just February !

Sarah , you will love it so much , have fun !

xxx

[buzzybea]

Sneek peeks - ahhhh probably round mid month, giving you plenty of chance to say if you want one keeping.

Got my hearts cut ready to take to a crop on Saturday

[AJH]

I know I want one anyway , whatever it is like !

[Betsy_ Boop]

Collected my kit from the post office this morning as I was out when postie called yesterday. It is LUSH, can't wait to have a play :)

[AJH]

Hi everyone

Has anyone had a chance , or dared to , cut into their new ribbons yet ? Hope youre having fun at your crop today Bea.

xx

[Sprogpaws]

I know what I'm planning to do with them, I just haven't had the chance, and probably wont for a few days - in the middle of trying to rearrange my craft room and I'm sitting in chaos!! Got a crop tomorrow, and I've got no idea where to find anything to take with me!!

[hetheringtond]

Just got February's Kit. Love it! Love it! Love it! The heart shaped tin and ribbon slide are just lovely. Did I mention I Love it?!!!:wub:

[glitter fairy]

I placed my order at just gone 4pm the day it went live - I'd been checking the site all day so I could get it straight away! And it arrived at 8.30 the next morning! Fantastic delivery, and a beautiful kit, thanks.

[buzzybea]

I got a little play at the crop Anita and started 3 things but alas none finished (what am I like - perhaps too much talking) - I am hoping to get a little more done this evening

[BeesBabe1975]

I received my kit yesterday when I got home from work and I am in :wub:

All that scrummylicious ribbon and buttons and, ribbon slide and, oh its all scrummy!! Not sure that I want to use any of it now though as its just too lovely!

Thanks Bea :)

[buzzybea]

You know you can do it Sarah - and theres always more ribbons being brought out to tempt you - hope you pluck up the courage and snip away

[buzzybea]

Just finished my cutie pie LO - will take a piccie tomorrow - nice and simple but that just about sums me up (at times)

If any DT are viewing the march kit flew the nest today and if RM are on form they might be with you tomorrow - this is my favourite colour so I will be using lots myself.

TTFN

[Siany]

So, what's your favorite colour then Bea? :D

[tracygough]

Oh i can't wait Bea, looking forward to receiving my package!:D

[CraftyPrincess]

OMG!!
I got my kit this morning Bea it's absolute lushlyness!!! As usual enough ribbon to set up my own Ribbon Oasis and loads of cute embellishy bits!!! I won't spoil the colour surprise yet :ph34r: :ph34r:
Everyone needs to bookmark the thread now so they can get it the second it's released!! :wub: :wub: :wub:

Got mine too this morning, i ditto everything Leo has said already.:wub: :wub: :wub:

[buzzybea]

Good to hear they have arrived - and I hope you have fun playing with them - I was torn which kit to send out for next month as I have two sat here ready but one look at the calendar confirmed which should go first Mothers day is in March and Easter is in April - well that was my logic at choosing between the two - lol

[AJH]

Hi all

Bea , love your cutie pie LO , its gorgeous , the ribbons look great . I am so excited about the next kit , have fun Leo and Tracy - cant wait to see what you ladies create, and so excited for when its sneak peek time !!!

xxx

[tracygough]

I had a play with the new kit last night, and I've created my first project:) .
This kit is soooo yummy, beautiful colours too:ph34r: , some of it is really touchy feely and needs to be stroked lots. I think you're all gonna :wub: it, so should contact Bea and reserve your kit PDQ.

[Sprogpaws]

I didn't realise we could reserve them - yes please!!!

[buzzybea]

Thanks for your comments re LO - I think I only do nice and simple - got another one on the go which I might get finished today as my dentist appointment was cancelled at the last minute.

Oooh Tracy - I am pleased you enjoyed using the kit - I saw your FAB LOs in Scrapbook Inspirations this morning so I will add the RO one into the gallery when I get a chance later today. Those eyelashes on your other LO are absolutely amazing!!

[buzzybea]

Hi there Pam - I am always happy to reserve the kits, if people like what they see after the little peeks. I sub to 3 monthly kits and although sometimes getting something outside of the box or your comfort zone can be good and get the creative juices flowing - I know from experience that a lot just sits there and doesn't get used which is a shame.

Take care

[tracygough]

Thanks Bea, aren't his eyelashes just wasted on a boy?

[AJH]

Same here re nice and simple LO's Bea , although I wish I could do that busy , colourful funky stuff !

Do you need us to contact you through the shop site to reserve the ribbons , can I reserve ongoing ?!!?

xxx

[buzzybea]

Of course you can Anita - I actually started a DLO yesterday with the Jan kit just need a little time to finish it - I have never done a DLO before so it is a first for me

[AJH]

Hi all

How is everyone ? Bea your DLO is gorgeous. And dont forget Bea its nearly the middle of the month !!! Only kidding , just very excited... !!

xxx

[buzzybea]

Thanks for the comments on the DLO - again very typical me - nice and simple

I will try and get the kit set up for a nice little photo shoot tomorrow - the camera has been on overdrive so I also have loads to upload to the site - I just need and extra 3 or 4 hours in the day at the moment.

[AJH]

Ooooo very exciting Bea , cant wait to see piccies and see what new ribbons will be going on the site too.

xxx

[buzzybea]

The sneek peek you have been waiting for is up now you can see a small part of the march ribbon kit here (http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/index.php?cPath=102) - now you can see my favourite colour

[Mrs Hedgehog]

Just ordered Bea, what a fab collection, and this is the woman who doesn't do pink. Can't wait for the postman :)

[purplewillie]

Hi Bea
I wanted to order one but it says Out of Stock.
Please save me one pretty please.

[Siany]

Oooooh love the colours of the new kit:wub:, can't wait to order them :D

[buzzybea]

Don't worry it will go live on the 28th but I will give you all prior warning - I always keep a few back anyways - the intention is that some will be left each month for future new customers to maybe buy to increase their ribbon stock or give as presents, I am also working on some ribbons-2-go little mini collections but there just aren't enough hours in the day at the moment.

[AJH]

Bea - its absolutely gorgeous, cant wait ! Love the sound of the ribbons to go collections too , what a great idea .

xxx

[Sprogpaws]

Ooh, definitely have to have one of these, yummy scrummy! I had a feeling this was going to be the colour for this month and I'm so chuffed - it's my favourite colour too! Could I please put a kidney down as a deposit on one, just to make sure I don't miss out!!! :lol:

[CraftyPrincess]

Hi all! I was having another play with the new Purpilicious kit last night, it's the ultimate in lushness really! I've come up with a few things already but thought I'd ask if anyone would like any specific ideas for next month? I'm working on mothers day gift ideas and I've done a ribbon storage idea too but since we have this thread thought it would make sense to see what ideas people would like to see? I can do project sheets as I've done before so just shout out and let me know. :D

[buzzybea]

Thank you Leo - your project sheets are BRILL. I will certainly have a think - ribbon storage is always good for inspiration. I have just organised some of mine into grip seal bags and punched holes in the bags then put them onto book-rings as I hate wrapping them round the ribbon wrap cards for long term storage (I don't like the creases) and I hate to say (or do I) it but housework is not always at the top of my priority list so I would hate my ribbons to get a bit of dust on them - the bags stop them creasing so much and stop them getting dusty. Mind you the organised look of the ribbon wraps and prettiness of the the embroidery thread cards do make them look pretty.

Melissa is off out for a couple of hours tomorrow so I am hoping to get a chance to have a play but I still have lots of pink ribbons floating round me and have just got some real girly papers from the Reminisce range so I should really use some more of the hearts desire kit. I promised Melissa a LO called Candy Kisses so I need to do this before I cut into the purple ones.

[Mrs Hedgehog]

My pink ribbons arrives safely, they are lovely and they have inspired me to add ribbon to a LO that I thought was complete but now I' sure it is.:)

[buzzybea]

Oooh Lesley are you going ot show us? I would love to see your LO

Take care

[tracygough]

I'm so loving the Purpilicious kit, i have done a some Mothers Day gifts too and also a cute little New Home gift. Still have oddles of ribbons left, so hoping to get a couple more projects done, i have more time now as our foster children have just left for their new adoptive home :(, what better way is there to cheer me up than playing with lush ribbons! Must try not to make them soggy with my tears though.

[snipper]

Oh gosh Tracy that's an end of an era. Wow, can't imagine how you're feeling. <hug>

[tracygough]

Thanks Ellie, I'm in bits, as you know we've had them for sometime, and they are the first ones we've moved onto adoption. Having a couple of months off now, to get over it, at least we have our holiday to look forward too.

[buzzybea]

Big hugs Tracy - you have been there for them when they really needed a loving family. It's bound to be heart-breaking for you hopefully a bit if scrapping will help you thorugh.

(((((((((((HUG))))))))))))

[BeesBabe1975]

Mmm the new purplicious kit is sooooo scrum!! And the good thing is, it is available on pay day!!!

Big hugs to my teamie Tracy and her family (((((hugs)))))

[tracygough]

Thanks for the hugs Bea and Sarah.

Not long to wait now until you can all get your hands on the new kit! :)

[BeesBabe1975]

When is the kit going live Bea.

Ohhh can you hear the desperation in my voice!!!!

[tracygough]

LOL @ Sarah, i'm sure Bea has set one aside for you.

[Sprogpaws]

Hopefully me too!! *bounces around in excitement*

[tracygough]

LOL, you too Pam.

[Mrs Hedgehog]

hi Bea, just placed my order now for the fab March ribbons. Can't wait like to keep postie busy.

[buzzybea]

Hi everyone - I know quite a few went out in todays post so fingers crossed. Sorry for not being around much the last few days - I think everyone has gone ribbon crazy, this time of year is always busy.

I have started making a purple mini book and I have a really big piccie of Melissa (A4 size - I had to try my new photoprinter out) she has a purple fur jacket on so I just need little time to get to use these purple ribbons.

I will get the DT piccies uploaded to the website either tonight or tomorrow morning

Take care

[Sprogpaws]

*stops doing happy dance around the room to sit at the puter and type*

Yippeee, I got one ordered!!!

*starts doing happy dance again, shaking her not unsubstantial booty as she goes*

[tracygough]

Bea, you need to change you UKS name to Bizzybea. :)
Can't wait to what the other DT members have done with the kit.

[buzzybea]

I certainly seem to buzzing around a lot at the moment - what is that saying - no peace for the wicked! I didn't think I was that bad though - lol

[tracygough]

You must have been really wicked in a former life Bea.

[sarahbert1536]

This kit looks just as lush as the previous ones and I can't wait for mine to arrive. :wub:

Purple happens to be my favourite colour too and I am already planning what I can do with all those gorgeous ribbons - once I've finished stroking them of course!:lol:

[sarahbert1536]

WOW! The postman has just been and brought my kit and I am in love! I thought the photo was lush but this kit is amazing.

Thanks a lot Bea.

[tracygough]

Isn't it just the yummiest kit you ever did see? Have fun with it Sarah, and please show us what you do with it.

[purplewillie]

Can't believe it, placed my order about 5pm last night and 9.30 this morning its arrived. That is some kind of post.
Lush as ever, love it.

Thankyou.

[buzzybea]

YIPPPEEEEE - well done Royal Mail, I know a couple of others have also arrived (to peeps not on uks)

I hope you have fun using them

[AJH]

[AJH]

Thanks Anita, i feel much better now, it's still very quiet here, but we are looking forward to our holiday, which is very soon.:)
However i think they took my mojo with them, as I've not been very productive since they went, i must have packed it with their stuff by mistake. :huh:

[AJH]

Ooo yes - only 2 weeks , have a fab fab time and maybe when you come back , no doubt with loads of piccies, you can get 'going' again .

xxx

[AJH]

Right thats my order placed for the fab March kit, cant wait , also ordered some other yummy ribbons . I am doing a new Cj on another forum with a colour combinations theme , am sure you can guess at least one of the colours that will be used Bea !

xxx

[Sprogpaws]

Ooh, ooooh, oooooooh *jumps up and down whilst squealing excitedly*

It's here and its lush beyond belief - I LOVE it!! :wub:

I was so thrilled when I opened it that I had to take a piccy and stick it on my blog as I wanted to tell the world.

Bea, you are fabby! Thanks for putting together such a wonderful kit, it is bootiful.

*goes back to stroking ribbon and smiling to herself whilst sighing contentedly*

[AJH]

Mine are here today too , yum yum yum , how wonderfully lovely! Thanks Bea .

xxx

[BeesBabe1975]

Oh, oh, oh I want to go home NOW!!! I bet mine are sitting there on the door mat waiting for me to stroke when I get home, along with SI mag!! Looks like its going to be a happy damn Friday after all!!!

[Sprogpaws]

Sarah, your postie will have delivered exactly the same 2 parcels of happiness as mine!!

[BeesBabe1975]

Sarah, your postie will have delivered exactly the same 2 parcels of happiness as mine!!

Oh you evil woman, don't tease me!!!!!!!! I bet you are sat there with a cuppa, a choccie biccie, stroking your ribbons and reading SI!!!! :lol:

Anyway, how are you hun?

[tracygough]

Hi Sarah, you won't be disappointed with either parcel of happiness I'm sure. i got my SI this morning and I'm still stroking the left over ribbons from the kit whilst reading it. :)

[kirmankatz]

This was a dangerous thread to come and read - I knew it!!!

60 seconds after seeing the picture of the kit on Sprogpawz' blog I had ordered and paid for it (thats no exaggeration honest! ) It's looks soo lovely!

If my SI is at home when I get home aswell I'll be even more pleased!

[Sprogpaws]

Oh you evil woman, don't tease me!!!!!!!! I bet you are sat there with a cuppa, a choccie biccie, stroking your ribbons and reading SI!!!!

Anyway, how are you hun?Didn't you know, I'm the devil incarnate!!! I just keep my hair combed over my horns so people can't see them!!!

I'm fine. Actually, I'm great as I've found out how many great friends I've got!! I'm blooming cold though, as I've been standing on the doorstep chatting to a neighbour for best part of an hour or so, and I've got a short-sleeved t-shirt on! It was one of those 10 second conversations that grew, else I'd have invited her in for a brew!!! So I'm taking ages to type this as my fingers are so cold!!!

How are things at your end? You completely settled into your new hoosie now? Hopefully the Himalaya's arn't playing you up anymore!!! :D

60 seconds after seeing the picture of the kit on Sprogpawz' blog I had ordered and paid for it Sorry!!! Actually, no, I'm not sorry - you'll absolutely love it!! I was so excited when I opened it that I had to just tell everyone, it is completely scrumptious!!!! And the photo in no way does justice to it!

Right, since I haven't had the chance for lunch yet, and have to go out in half an hour to pick up DD from school (where did the day go?!) I'm off to have a scooby snack - and I may just have to have a flick through my SI while I munch!! ;)

[BeesBabe1975]

Hmmm I knew there was something funny bout you!!

Awww glad you are great hunni. Yep all settled and now the mountains are not giving me greif any more as they a now happily residing in a jar in my kitchen cupboard!!!!!

Hope you are suitably thawed now!!

[BeesBabe1975]

Hi Sarah, you won't be disappointed with either parcel of happiness I'm sure. i got my SI this morning and I'm still stroking the left over ribbons from the kit whilst reading it. :)

Well I've not been thus far!!!! Look even my own teamie is teasing me now :lol:

Not long til your hols now hun xx Bet Cam is getting excited :D

[Sprogpaws]

Yep all settled and now the mountains are not giving me greif any more as they a now happily residing in a jar in my kitchen cupboard!!!!!Remind me never to come for dinner at your house, just in case you reach for the wrong jar!!! :blink:

[buzzybea]

oops sorry Anita - I will ask Stu to check a "contact us" link out - I guess all is well that ends well - I have plenty of kits to go round and of course if they had all gone I would have given you mine

Good to hear RM are still working hard today. Pam thanks for the mention on your blog

Hope you have a nice surprise waiting for you when you get home Sarah

I have just worn out the camera taking piccies of new ribbons but I haven't got the ribbons that arrived last week uploaded to the site yet, looks like I will have a busy weekend and may not get time to play - but who knows I will try and get some of these lush purple ribbons used.

[tracygough]

Hi Bea, still busy, busy, busy, then!

Yes Sarah, Cam is counting down the days, i could do with a bit longer, as i have no holiday clothes yet, got my footwear sorted though.:)

I can't wait to see what the rest of the DT did with the kit.

[buzzybea]

Hi Tracy - hoping to get DT uploaded as soon as I have my little monster (errrr darling) safely tucked up in bed

[tracygough]

Oh bless her, i bet she's a little sweetie really. Looking forward to it.

[buzzybea]

A little later than planned (Stu decided to upgrade my security so I was banished form the computer), I am very proud to show the Purpilicious Design Team work it is all uploaded into the gallery (at least I hope I haven't missed anything) - you can see the gallery here (http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/gallery.php?cid=15)

[Siany]

I can't wait to get mine, hopefully it will get here the early part of next week :D

[AJH]

Hi everyone

Bea - I double checked my junk and couldnt findd it in there but as you know I have had one or two email problems before so its most likely this end. I would never dream of you giving up your kit - thats for sure ! Got a proper chance to look at the ribbons this evening and am so so impressed with and love this kit. You really do pack so much in for the money Bea, stacks and stacks of stuff - thank you ! Thank you for all the other yummy ribbons that i purchased along with my kit - its been pretty much ribbon heaven here , I dont know how you manage to part yourself away from the stock Bea , I would have to sleep with them all !!

Ooo cant wait to see what new stock you have for us ribbon addicts to buy .

Lastly .... wow wow wow what a fantastic gallery of creations by the DT girlies, sooooo much inspiration and lovely items. Well done all .

Have a good weekend everyone .

xxx

[Sprogpaws]

I've just been sitting in gobsmacked silence looking at the DT gallery, I am completely blown away at the amazing pieces you have created, you truly are a very talented bunch of ladies. I don't want to mention any items in particular, purely because I fell in love with so many, I am completely buzzing with inspiration!!!

Well done all of you, you are awesome!

[tracygough]

I agree with you Pam, the other DT members have done some really amazing stuff with this kit, i feel so honoured to be part of this inspirational and talented team, although i always feel so unworthy of my place, when i see what the others do. Thanks for having me Bea.:D

[Sprogpaws]

the other DT members have done some really amazing stuff with this kit, i feel so honoured to be part of this inspirational and talented team, although i always feel so unworthy of my place, when i see what the others do. It's not all the other DT members - I fell head over heels in love with lots of things you made, stuff that really inspired me to try new things, so 'big' yourself up, you're blooming talented and deserve the kudos.

[tracygough]

Thanks for the kind comment Pam, and it's a really complement coming from one as talented as you. If you do anything that's been inspired by one of my projects, I'd love to see it, as i don't know if I've ever inspired anyone before.

[BeckyG1]

Have just discovered this thread and these beautiful kits! Have immediately placed an order for the March one and now can't wait to receive it! Love the colour purple and have very little ribbon that colour at the moment and I am really into ribbon at the moment. Will bookmark this thread and be back later. Nice to see how everyone has been using the kits.

[AJH]

Hi Becky you will so love the kit , its fab , as all of them have been . Bet you cant wait for your order to arrive now , you wont have long to wait though as Bea is very very speedy !

xxx

[BeesBabe1975]

Well I was well and truly disappointed when I got home on Friday!!! No, not by the kit oooohhh noooo, but by the fact that the postie had not been able to deliver as it wouldn't fit through my letterbox!! Not only that but SI mag wasn't delivered either!! I had to wait until Saturday morning before I could get my fix!!! Boy was it worth waiting for!!! Bea the kit is sooooo lovely!!!

Ladies on the DT - WOW, what fabby work!!! Not wanting to single out just one person but Tracy, your bird house is just gorgeous!

[tracygough]

That was a bummer Sarah, at least you have your kit now, isn't it just jam packed!!!
Thanks for the comment on my bird house, it was my fav project too, i really enjoyed doing something different, in case anyone is wondering, i got the little wooden bird house from Wilkinson, it was only 99p. I have a little something else to alter too for the next DT assignment.:ph34r:

[Sprogpaws]

I fell in love with that wee birdhouse too, and now I'm sulking as we don't have any Wilko's up here in Scotland. :(

[CraftyPrincess]

Tracy your bird house is soo cute. Love your pin cushion tin too.
I tried to make sure I used all the kit for my projects but it was impossible I've still ended up with some left! :D I'll have to keep going at it and report back here. :lol:

[tracygough]

Thanks Pam and Leo, i also have loads of the kit left over, there's just so much of it, it would take me weeks to use it all.

[Mrs Hedgehog]

Love the March kit. My favorite colour keep looking at it need more inspiration.

[BeckyG1]

Really looking forward to receiving my kit! Had an email that it has been posted first class today, so hopefully will arrive tomorrow. I don't go to work until 11.30am, so it may arrive before I go - no housework will get done then.:lol:

[tracygough]

Becky, i hope RM are on top form and you get your kit before going off to work, i can promise you you won't be disappointed with it, it's yummy!

[buzzybea]

Fingers crossed for you Becky

Lesley if you need a little inspiration - pop on over to the gallery (http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/gallery.php) there are loads of great projects that the team have done over the last few months, I find looking through it very inspiring

Tracy - we have a Wilko's I will have to pop in and have a look and see what they have in stock

[BeckyG1]

Disaster! Took DD to school and postie came when I was out! Will now have to wait until after work to go and collect it. Oh well, will be all the better for the anticipation.^_^

[buzzybea]

How disappointing Becky - asyou say you have somethign definite to look forward to. Hope you find the kit worth the wait.

Take care

[Siany]

It's definately worth waiting for, it's gorgeous:love: (received my kit yesterday) Thanks Bea.

[tracygough]

Oh no Becky, that's just typical, but the wait will be worth it, i promise you.:)

[buzzybea]

Great news Sian - that didn't take too long - have you thought about actually using any of it yet?

[BeesBabe1975]

Oh yes its deffo worth the wait!! I actually used a teeny bit of my ribbons last night!!!

[Siany]

Great news Sian - that didn't take too long - have you thought about actually using any of it yet?

Yep thought of loads, but oooppps can't find my scissors :D :blink: Oh well, just have to look at them for a bit longer :)

[BeckyG1]

Oooh yes! Well worth the wait. Have sat and looked at it all for ages - want to use it now! Will have to look out some special photos to use as this is too nice to waste on ordinary photos. Thanks so much for the quick delivery. Wonder what next months will be like?:D

[buzzybea]

Have fun iwht it Becky - the next three months are all sat here - now let me see we have Spring Fresh - All Black & White and Coffee and Cream, then parts of the next 3 kits are here but not complete. I have some more ribbons coming from a new supplier in the next few days - I keep on checking the tracking and it is nearly here and I am torn whether to put these in future kits or just on the web

[BeckyG1]

ooh, like the sound of coffee and cream - not used those to scrap with before, so will probably have to buy that! Have used some of my purple on my Week 1 March Challenge, and I was really pleased with it.

[AJH]

Oooo Bea the forthcoming kits sound luvverly !

xxx

[buzzybea]

An apology to Karen - I had credited the wrong person for some of the lovely creations in the purpilicious gallery - sorry Karen not sure where my head was the day I uploaded them - the names have all been changed now

[tracygough]

Bea you're working too hard, slow down!

[AJH]

Hope we have all been good this month as Bea will usually give us a litle sneak peek after the middle of the month !!! Cant wait - your ribbon kits are sooooooooooooo exciting and fab Bea.

xxx

[Sprogpaws]

Hope we have all been good this month as Bea will usually give us a litle sneak peek after the middle of the month !!!
Good point, Anita!!! Please, Bea, be kind - it's my birthday today so a sneaky peak would be a lovely pressie!!! :D :D :D

[tracygough]

Happy Birthday Pam, hope you're having a good day!
I'm dying to have a sneak peak before the weekend too.

[AJH]

Happy Birthday Pam !

It was mine the other day too so I reckon thats a good reason for having a sneak peek , any one else with birthdays this month too ?!

[AJH]

Ooo Tracy your holiday has come round quick - hope you have a great time !

xxx

[tracygough]

Thanks Anita, i'm a bit excited now, Happy belated Bday to you, hope you had a good one! My Bday is 5th April, so not long away, i wouldn't mind an early treat.

[Sprogpaws]

Thank for the birthday wishes - belated ones to you too, Anita!! Tracy, my hubby is 40 on April 6th, though he isn't getting a trip to Florida for his birthday!!! You must be so excited!

[tracygough]

I'll be 39 this year (shhh don't tell anyone) and our DS will be 11 on the 4th April, so i don't really have a Bday anymore, as he gets his cards up first and mine have to go in the dinning room. We actually wanted to be away for our Bdays, but it would have cost another £1200 because it's Easter holidays, and i refused to pay that.

[Sprogpaws]

I know what you mean - I was going to arrange for us to go away for the weekend, but the prizes shot up because of it being over Easter. You'll have a fab time in Florida birthday or not. I'm trying to convinve hubby we should go next year, even though we are skint!!! DD is going to be 6 in June, so next Easter would be the perfect age for her to go - or so I'm going to try and convince him!!! :D

[BeckyG1]

Would love to be going to Florida too! but I work in a school and so have to take holidays during school holidays and we just can't afford it. The up side is that I do get a load of holidays when I can just do scrapbooking! We are off to the Lake District and Peak District in our caravan this year - looking forward to it, but obviously not on a par with Florida - especially when you think of the shops over there too! Hope you have a lovely time Tracey.

[buzzybea]

Belated Happy Birthday Sprogpaws. sorry I couldn't get the little peek done yesterday. Just having a coffee break then I just need to catch up with the days orders and then hopefully get a nice little piccie taken which I will upload either later today or tomorrow (it really does depend on how many orders come in)

[tracygough]

Hi Bea, looks like you're rushed off your feet as usual! I post your giant lolly sticks yesterday, so hopefully you'll get them either today or tomorrow.

[sarahbert1536]

I've finally started to use the ribbons from the March kit. I've used them on the last two Los I've done. Only little pieces but they are so lush that less is more :lol: that's my way of convincing myself I can use them and still enjoy their gorgeousness en masse!

I'm also one looking forward to seeing what's in store for next month's kit. You have excellent taste Bea.

[buzzybea]

Well done Sarah - you know you can do it

It is a flying visit from me as I am off out to a concert tonight but I promised the 15th so the peek of the kit is now onsite you can see it here (http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/)

[Sprogpaws]

Fresh is the word - it's boootiful!! :wub: Makes you feel happy just looking at it!

[tracygough]

Yummy, yummy, these kits just get more delish every month!

[buzzybea]

My you girls are quick off the mark

[Siany]

We have been waiting 2 weeks Bea LOL:D

[buzzybea]

Ahhh that explains it - I think the names are a bit of a giveaway mind you

For anyone interested

May - Mono Magic

June - Coffee and Cream

Unless of course I can come up with any better names - lol

[tracygough]

I think the DT should get a pre-sneak peek:), like the the first the month.

[tracygough]

What about Cappuccino and Muffin/Cookie? for the June kit.

[Siany]

I think the DT should get a pre-sneak peek:), like the the first the month.

Nope, not fair :P

[buzzybea]

Ahh I guess the DT members working on the next months kit get to see it well in advance.

Perhaps I should just give the peek a little earlier as nearly all the items are here for the next 2 or 3 kits - lol

[BeckyG1]

Oooh, lurve those colours! They really are very fresh and I want them! Can't wait to order this one - I think I am rapidly getting hooked on ribbon! But I don't like to use it when i get it, just sit and stroke it!:)

[ruthy40]

yummy yummy kit really looking forward to playing with it

[CraftyPrincess]

That new kit looks lusherly! It's got all smiley colours :D

Becky that's the beauty with Bea's kits she puts enough ribbon in so we can stroke and play! :D

Must also say to ribbon lovers, I got some of the velvet ric rac last week, it's just TDF lushness! Everyone needs it in their stash!! :lol:

[buzzybea]

Thanks Leo - it certainly hasn't stayed on the shelf very long - reorders have been made - if you like velvet keep watching as I have some fab colours to upload

[BeesBabe1975]

Ahhh that explains it - I think the names are a bit of a giveaway mind you

For anyone interested

May - Mono Magic

June - Coffee and Cream

Unless of course I can come up with any better names - lol

Oooooh they sound yummy scrummy as usual!!! I can't wait to have them in my mitts!!!

Soooo looking forward to this months gorgeous kit. :D

[BeesBabe1975]

Ooops posted twice sorry!

[CraftyPrincess]

More ric rac colours!!!!

*Leo makes metal note to save stash cash for those..

:D

[AJH]

Becky that's the beauty with Bea's kits she puts enough ribbon in so we can stroke and play!

Must also say to ribbon lovers, I got some of the velvet ric rac last week, it's just TDF lushness! Everyone needs it in their stash!!

Yep have to totally agree, there are so many ribbons, its virtually impossible to use them all ! And yes the velvet ric rac is soooooooo gorgeous , I got some a at the beginning of the month along with my kit , really really nice to use. Do you have any idea when you will have restocks of the pink one Bea as it would be nice for a swap I am in ?

[CraftyPrincess]

I've got some instructions for the minature exploding box I made with the purpleicous kit if anyone would like them, PDF file to download here (http://www.craftytemplates.co.uk/miniatureexplodingboxguide.pdf).
Bea I'll email you it to put on the site too.

Anyone been playing yet? Come on the first cut is the hardest :lol:

[AJH]

Thanks ever so much for that Leo, thats really kind of you to share it. I must admit Ive had one of those busy months this month.... so I havent cut any of my purple ribbons yet but rest assured I will do so soon ! Looking forward to what my fellow DT ladies have done with the fabby Aprils kit , its sooooooo bright and colourful .

xxx

[BeckyG1]

Yes, I have cut into the purple! Here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=110526&cat=500&ppuser=17186) is a lo I've done - only used a little though so that I can drool over the rest until I decide what to do with it!

[AJH]

Becky thats a lovely LO.

xxx

[buzzybea]

Great LO Becky

Anita there is no DT fro the April kit as everyone can have the opportunity to show off their FAB work and enter the competition.

Thank you CraftyPrincess - your instructions are always welcome, I will add it to my list of stuff I want to try

I will let you know all know when the kit goes live as it may be a little earlier - I am hoping to go to a crop on Saturday and it would be a little unfair to leave the busy kit posting day all to Stu, I will see what Stu thinks - what do you think?

[ruthy40]

oh no, no DT for the next kit boo hoo was looking forward to a play dont know if bank manager will be happy with me LOL

[AJH]

Anita there is no DT fro the April kit as everyone can have the opportunity to show off their FAB work and enter the competition

Thanks for the compliment!
I think the kit should go live as early as possible! I am dying to get my hands on it! Have ordered a load of paper to use it with and have been busy choosing which photos I want to scrap. Can't wait - being very impatient:lol:

[buzzybea]

Hi there everyone - upgraded my computer this week (knew I should have waited until next week) but we live and learn.

The kit has at last gone live on the website - and sold before I even emailed anyone - lol

If anyone is thinking of upgrading to windows vista if you use PSP9 this will also need to be upgraded.

It has been lovely being surrounded by all these happy ribbons this week, hope you like the selection I have put together for you

Take care

[BeckyG1]

Yum, yum! Have just been and ordered the kit - can't wait to get it next week - I am on Easter hols so will be able to play with it. Have been using a fair bit of the purple kit this weekend. I just love that colour and all my lo have been lilac/purple based for the last few weeks!

[mich72]

i've been out in the spring sunshine today taking loads of pics which will go lovely with the new kit, can't wait for it to arrive.

mich x

[mich72]

postie just dropped off my kit. absolutly gorgeous, can't stop looking at it and smiling. thank you (eggs yum)


mich x

[BeckyG1]

Just got home and opened my kit - how wonderful! I thought the last one was my favourite colour - now I'm not so sure! Off to see family tomorrow with camera to take lots of piccies so that I can use some of the ribbon. Loved the eggs too - what a lovely surprise!

[hetheringtond]

:D :D Wow! The kit is just beautiful. Each one gets better and better. Thanks for the eggs too - a welcome treat mid afternoon.:D :D

[sarahbert1536]

:D Another great kit. My Postie had hidden mine this morning but as soon as I spotted the box I knew I was in for a treat.

Will admit I wasn't sure about the colours of this one but although I have lots of ribbons when I wanted some in yellow I hadn't got any so I thought I'd get it to build up my stash. And I am so glad that I did :D I am going to enjoy playing with these. And eating the eggs a lovely surprise thank you.

[buzzybea]

Good to hear they are arriving - well done Royal Mail. Couldn't resist the little easter eggs, not sure how many Melissa managed to eat whilst she helped me pack them, I know I didn't get many - lol

[BeesBabe1975]

Ohhh I so hope my kit is waiting for me when I get home this evening! I still haven't really dug into the pink or purple one yet! I just like to sit and take them all out, look at them and put them all back again! I can't even bring myself to sort them into my ribbon jars!!!

Sad, yes I know!!!

[ruthy40]

Oh my kit arrived yesterday it is absolutely gorgeous love it love it love it

[snipper]

Oh my kit arrived yesterday it is absolutely gorgeous love it love it love it

Oh you girls what have you done? I have succumbed.

[BeesBabe1975]

My lovely box of goodies was waiting for me when I got home last night!!! I love this one, as yellow is my fave colour, its gorgeous!! I love the fat ribbon that is shaped like ric rak!!!! The little tin is soooo cute too!!

Thanks for the eggs too, what a lovely suprise!

[ruthy40]

Oh Bea I forgot to thank you for my eggs....THANK YOU

[mandijane55]

me too.....yum, and a super kit too...:-)

[snipper]

It's even more fresh and zingy than it looked. Love it, and the eggs are now just a distant memory. :) Thanks Bea + Stu.

[novicescrapper]

This is the first time i have purchased one of your kits and its GREAT. Thank you so much for the lush ribbons. Amasing colours just right for easter pages. Thanks for the chocs to. Yum
Elainex

[buzzybea]

So good to hear you enjoyed the eggs - and of course that you like the ribbons - don't forget to email us any of your creations to - as you could win next months kit, hopefully there was a letter in your package with all the details of the competition. This competition is only open to purchasers of the kit so you stand a very good chance of winning

Take care

[BeckyG1]

Hi Beam
Have sent you a piccie of my lo using the April ribbons. Love them so much that I hate to use them! DH asked how come I had so many ribbons the other evening, I just muttered an answer and changed the subject! As he has just expanded his model railway collection hugely I don't think he can complain too much if I have a lot of ribbon:D

[buzzybea]

Thanks Becky - aren't men funny at times

[BeckyG1]

Just had a look at your sneak preview of the May kit - looks like another good one!

[ruthy40]

nice May Kit there Bea look forward to seeing the DTs designs

[buzzybea]

Thanks Becky / Ruthy - won't be too long now

Don't forget - if you purchsed the April kit you stand a chance of winning the May kit - just send us a piccie of your creation to office@ribbonoasis.co.uk

Take care

[Claireb]

Just out of interest do you ever get past kits back in, say i was after the pink one (Febs) do you ever get it back in stock or once its gone thats it?

Thanks
Claire

[buzzybea]

Oh dear where have the days gone - I think I will really have to seriously consider employing a helper as there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done.

Claire - I may have most of the ribbons, but I don't think I have the full kit as such - I will have a look and see how much is there or missing and let you know. We ahve been taking on board allthe comments regarding kits and we know how people are disappointed that they can't get or then they get and it is another purchase that doesn't get used so we will be changing the format of the kits from July to just bring great ribbons at great prices and give more flexibility on items on the website - so watch this space

We have a winner of the May "Marvellous Mono kit" on the home page here (http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/index.php)

The May kit has gone live this afternoon here (http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1679)

Take care

[mich72]

just ordered my may kit, looks scrummy:wub: can't wait till it arrives, shaking in anticipation:wacko:

[AJH]

Hi all

Sorru I dont seem to have posted here for a while .... ! May's kit is looking fab Bea , just gotta sort out some spare pennies and I will be ordering mine (had a few LARGE bills lately...) . Loving lots of the new ribbons as well , some really really fab ones , you have great taste!

Looking forward to hearing more or seeing about the new format kits , all seems very exciting at the Ribbon Oasis !!

Anyway take care Bea and everyone too.

xxx

[buzzybea]

Hi Anita - hope you are well. Lots of more new ribbons ordered - I just have to try and keep organised otherwise we would drown in ribbons. My craft space has been overtaken but I am determined it will be clear and have space for me to craft again within the next few weeks.

I have loads of ideas buzzing round and no time or space to work.

I have a half finished small canvas using the Spring Fresh kit and also a FAB accordion book in a box (all green and yellow) - all made with origami folds - it was the demo on crafttv a couple of weeks ago. I will show them when I have got them finished.

[buzzybea]

just ordered my may kit, looks scrummy can't wait till it arrives, shaking in anticipation

ooooh don't shake too much - if RM are on form it may be with you tomorrow (fingers crossed)

[AJH]

Hi Bea

I'm fine - thanks so much . Ooo your projects sound fab - cant wait to see them . Looking forward to seeing more new ribbons - will I need a second mortgage?!?!

xxx

[mich72]

kit was on the doormat when came home from work this afternoon, and its gorgeous(thats the kit not my doormat although it's quite a nicedoormat as doormats go). anyway the kit matches my cats perfectly so if i'm lost for inspiration at any time i could always decorate them.lol:lol:

[buzzybea]

ahh bless - they would look great - you have just given me a thought I was going to try and do a mini book on our animals we have a black and white cat and a black cat at the moment and my gorgeous dog that alas is no longer with us was a black and white sheep dog (ahh the cogs are turning) - it would be great to see what you do create

Take care

[mich72]

oooh bea you've got me thinking too now, mini book good idea. i saw a lay out in a magazine titled 5 steps to catisfaction, i just loved the word catisfaction it sums them up so well, you have cats you know what i mean. so i'm thinking of a mini book titled CHARLIES TIPS TO CATISFACTION.

Thanks xx:D

[hetheringtond]

Thank you for my 'prize' May kit. I love it...Black and white are my favourites.
Cheers!!:D

[CraftyPrincess]

Just put what I've done with the mono kit on my blog (http://scribblesnscrappin.blogspot.com/)

:D

Anyone dug into their kits yet? :D

[ruthy40]

Wow wow wow June's kit is yummy my fav so far
you will all love it.
Right off to look at Leo's for this month.

[buzzybea]

Thank you Leo - not sure why (probably cos I'm technically challenged at times) the gallery wasn't uploaded properly onto the website. I have now corrected this and the whole of May's Marvellous mono gallery can be viewed here (http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/gallery.php?cid=17)

I love how everyone altered the tins and I am the lucky recipient of Leo's FAB tag.

The small peek piccie of June is on the homepage if anyone is interested in having a look - here (http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/index.php)

[tracygough]

I'm back online atlast!
Just looked at what all the other DT members did with the mono kit, stunning work as always ladies.

[buzzybea]

Coffee & Creme kit went online yesterday you can see the kit - here (http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1736)

[mich72]

coffee and cream kit arrived safely today, and very, very, very, very, better give one more, VERY scrummy:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: . can't wait to use it but must stop stroking it first :lol:

thanks bea:wub:

[buzzybea]

Ooooh - RM were very good with that one - enjoy stroking but you must try and use some

.... talking of using I have just uploaded some images into the gallery we had a guest designer join us this month so a BIG BIG thank you to Kathy - I love what she and Eleanor have done with the ribbons - more images to uplaod to the gallery soon - I will let you know once more have been added

.... but you must take a little look here (http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/gallery.php?cid=18)

Absolutely stunning work

Thank you

[tracygough]

Just had a peek at the gallery images, all i can say is wow, what amazing projects. Can't wait to see the what the others have done too.

[AJH]

Hi all , its been quiet here lately ! Thanks for the newsletter Bea and Stu , will be looking out for the mini kits today , from the sneek peak they look LOVELY , really good luck wth them.

Hoping everyone is well .

xxx

[tracygough]

Hi Anita, hope you are well, i had the pleasure of playing with two of the new mini mixes, and they are lush, i'm sure as with everything Bea puts together, they'll go down very well.
Loved Stu's comment in the newsletter, typical male!

[buzzybea]

Hi there - the mini mixes are live - you can see them here (http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/index.php?cPath=102) - we just dissappointed so many people who wanted the large selections - this way we will get lots more loaded onto the site so there will always be a selection to tempt and tease. With the printer arriving yesterday I lost my focus a little on the mixes but lots more will be added over the next few weeks.

Ahhh Stu is Stu he has a funny sense of humour - at least what he puts in the newsletter is printable (I hope). He teases me something rotten about the orders I place and then how I oooh and ahhh when a box arrives!

Take care

Bea

[AJH]

Hi Tracy

I'm good thanks , hoping you are too , I know it must seem like ages ago but I dont remember asking if you had a good holiday ! Yes I bet the mini mixes will be very popular, fab choices of colours Bea , very lovely and very summery! I look forward to receiving my order in due course !

Bea - have loads of fun playing with your new toy , will look forward to seeing what you will be able to offer with it. I will look out for the new mini mixes too , great idea to do the little selections.
I do like Stu's sense of humour the newsletters always make me giggle !

xxx

[tracygough]

Yes, Anita we had a fabby holiday, thanks , nice of you to remember, but we had no internet for almost 6 weeks when we returned, so you probably didn't know when i got back. I have only done one LO from the holiday snaps, mainly because i have a 2 1/2 year old girl keeping me busy at the mo, and i've lost all my creativity by the time she goes to bed.
But i did manage to make her a little something for he room with one of the new mini kits, she's a little Princess.

[AJH]

Glad you did Tracy! Oh no that must have been horridwith no internet though upon your return ..... !
Ahhh is the little un another foster kiddie ? Have the others settled into their new homes OK do you know? I can well imagine the little princess is keeping you very occupied and worn out ....bless her !
Take care. xxx

[tracygough]

Yes, another little foster kiddie, she's gorgeous!
The others are doing very well, we've been to visit them, and we are meeting up with them again at Legoland in the first two weeks of the summer holidays.

[AJH]

Ahhh bless re the little girl you have at the moment. I am so pleased that you have been able to visit the others as I remember you were sooooo upset to see them go , naturally.... Have a fab time at Legoland all of you.

xxx

[AJH]

I received my mini kit today (and my other ribbons of course) Bea , wow how fab are these little selections , love love love lovely !!

[novicescrapper]

Is there going to be a July monthly kit or are you just going to concentrate on the mini kits. Elainex

[tracygough]

It's just mini mixes this month Elaine, but there will be mega mixes in the future.

[buzzybea]

Thanks Tracy - yes we are just doing the mini mixes - we do send out a newsletter each month (well I say newsletter it is just really an update on what is happeneing and what is expected the following month. You can sign up for the newletter when you register on the website or if you don't receive it you can change your preferences when you log on

I promise you won't get inundated with emails the maximum would be two a month.

Which reminds me I had better start reminding Stu to start the next one, then it might arrive before the end of the month

[tracygough]

The new mini mixes kits are on the site, they are so yummy!!!, i just ordered two different ones, the Princess one is gorgeous!!! and I'm sure will be a huge hit with everyone who has a little Princess, and as i have at the mo, i just had to have it.:)

[taniaj]

Great colours in your new minis, the pinks a beautiful and for such a good cause thanks Tx :)
