Don't Stash It Challenge - Day #3

Good morning (or afternoon to my east-coasters). How's everyone doing today? It's the middle of the week, any progress on getting some layouts done? I hope so, I have goodies I want to give away. I'm going to try to get photos snapped of the Big Birthday Treat so I can "inspire" you, but we'll see how that goes. Today's a quiet day, with DH still on the road back home - and he's having a ball, by the way. He's like a 10 year old on a grand adventure. Men, do they ever grow up? LOL Today's challenge: to use at least 3 different ribbons on your layout; more if you can swing it. Ribbon is such a fun and versatile embellishment, plus it's flat if you're not into a lot of bulk. Make sure you continue to use your older stuff, that's the heart of these challenges. Today's sketch is from 52 Sketches. . .52 Weeks. Julie no longer posts new sketches on this blog, but she does post a new sketch on her personal blog. The archives on the 52 Sketches blog are too inspiring to not refer to them often.

For an added little nudge, this week's prize will be your pick of any available TV Dinner.

Have a great day.

    Now this was one was easier because I have tons of ribbons. I had never thought of using more than 2 ribbons on a layout, so I had fun! There are two smaller pieces on the upper right and then a 3rd long piece along the bottom.

    I started weaving ribbons for this one - it ended up a disaster! So I went another route! Check it out On My blog
