For this challenge, I was asked to use ribbon 3 different ways on a page. If you know me, this was perfect!!! You all know how much I adore ribbon!!! I can't get enough of it! Tee Hee! For my page, I used 3 different types of ribbon, each in their own way. I pulled most of the papers/embellishment for this page from the October Kit #1 at Treasured Scrapbooking. Here it is...

'Natural Beauty'
Isn't little Olivia just beautiful?!! She is my bff from high school's little girl.

I used staples to hold some orange ribbon that I weaved back/forth. This is a favorite technique of mine. I did a simple tutorial on it a few months back. If you would like to view that, go here...

This cute little birdie ribbon is from Jillibean. I just added a simple knot for some dimension. This ribbon is included in the aforementioned kit.

I used the teal ribbon for the lacing.

To show some dimension...

So do come on over to Practical Scrappers and join in on this fun challenge!!!!! As always, thank you for stopping by my blog today! Have a wonderful day and Happy Scrappin'!!!!
