Ribbin from Spools to Cards!!

Hi All!!!
Today I finished taking my ribbin from spools and putting them on cards. I got the idea from Becca on the Amazing Paper Grace site, here's the link right to her ribbon storage solution. http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/amazing-ribbon-storage/
So when I went to Micheles yesterday on a wonderful FUN day with a good friend I got some of the mat board and cut just like she said... 2.5" x 2". I used one drew from and 8x11 storage unint I already had. So far I LOVE it... see below.
This pic shows all the spools I was able to get rid of and how all the ribbon fits with room for more!! Yea..


Here's a better look at the draw. In Becca's she used the larger draws and was able to get 4 rows, but for now this will work just fine for me.

Can you believe there are 60-ribbon cards here, and room for more????
How you enjoyed today!
