The theme for this Open Challenge is... Let's Use Ribbons!!! So get out those ribbons, ladies! We want you to use your ribbons and/or ribbon scraps in a different or unique way on your card or layout. Some ideas could be ribbon flowers, a prize or corsage-type ribbon or even make a photo mat or two. Complete this challenge and earn yourself 1 Scrappy Football!

Here are some pics to inspire you:

This was such fun---- I got to do something random that I would not normally do.    I chose to use my ribbons in a pattern following the line of the paper and added some cute flowers for a fininshing touch.

This was a tough one for me... I guess I shouldnt have tried to "copy" this as much -for some reason I thought I should use a lot of ribbon for this challenge!!! just deleted reposted this rather quickly...I at least tried to make the ribbon the same shape as the sign posts!....

 Great LO, Dawn. Love the title. Cute ribbon flower too. I have to try to make those better. Mine never turn out as nice as yours.

Barb, what a great page! I like all the treatments and ribbon too. That pp with the scissors is perfect for the theme too. Great job!

Marci, I like how the ribbon turned out. It adds some funa and great colors to it. Super!

Love the buttons, especially the shaped one and great ribbon choices too!  I also really like the bullets for the strips of words about the cruise....nice touch!
