the joy of microcheck ribbon

So you don't have to hang around my little scrapbooking space for very long before you realize that despite the buckets, bins and drawers of ribbons that I have collected over the years, about 9 times out of 10, I will reach for one ribbon-- the Offray black and white microcheck ribbon, 5/8".

It just goes.

 

 

It amps up just about any design.

It's a breeze to tie.

It's affordable and pretty universally available.

 

What's not to love?
