Jasmine Ford's project is my fav but there are all gorgeous and creative, ladies I wish I had your talent.

All the projects are great, however in keeping with the Sentimental Journey theme, I would have to vote for Laura Cox's project. The idea of a Valentine box takes me back to when as children we always made a box for the collection of our Valentines. And of course we cannot forget a box of chocolates!

Oh my gosh, what a hard choice. My vote would be for Betty Pillsbury's Post Card
I really liked Lenora Ortiz's bustier. So pretty and different!
I love the Valentine box that has the cards and tags that Laura Cox made. It was nice that there was also a video too describing the materials needed to make it.

1. Betty Pilsbury - her fabric postcard with the ribbon flowers is great.
2. Marie Otake – her heart book is just lovely with all the details and little embellishments.
3. Laura Cox – she took the vintage to the limit with her altered box filled with cards and tags.
good luck to everyone!

I am of course voting for Jasmine Ford's Love Notes Tin.
I love Marie Otake's Heart Shaped Book. My vote goes to her!
Jasmine Ford! Gorgeous!
My favorite is Betty Pillsbury's postcard. Understated elegance – beautifully composed!
This challenge was so fun! Thanks so much for featuring my project!
I love Betty Pillsbury's fabric postcard, so I'd like to vote for her.
Good luck to everyone who entered this contest! The projects are all amazing!
So many gorgeous projects that I had to go through the list a few times!! My vote goes to Laura Cox and the vintage valentine box with cards and tags!! The photo did not do it justice and the video featured it so much better and showed the love that went into this project!!
Awesome job girls! My favorite is Jennifer Hadder.
The Love Notes followed by the silk embroidery (which I do too) and the Valentine bird house – such a delight and what talent!! Happy Heart Day
I love how Jasmine Ford incorporated all 4 beautiful May Arts ribbons and trims…though I almost missed the pink ruffled trim on the outer edge. Her's was well thought out and so romantic!
I'm blown away by this post and all the amazing projects! So many projects, so little time! LOVE the vintage ribbon in this giveaway!
I just loved Dana Tatar's bag, all the projects are just beautiful so it was hard to pick, but I love ribbon and bags so a bag made of ribbon is just beautiful.
Jasmine Ford's Love Notes is my top pick but Marie Otake's heart album is thisclose! Beautiufl work, love all the details.
Fantastic, beautiful, stunning projects submitted by all. I have gone up and down and watched all the videos and looked at all the amazing work and detail in each submission for the last 30+ minutes. So hard to choose one as each one is so gorgeous but I am going to go with the one that brought me back to the day of making a Valentine Box -something I could relate to – Laura Cox. Your video shows all the detail and love that you put into this project. I would love for this Valentine box to be proudly displayed in my home! Great job, all!
Great and beautiful projects, all! I can't possibly choose just one.
They are all lovely, but jennifer Hadder's card speaks to me. Just love it.
Oh wow, great entries! The LOVE sign by Cresta Woodruff is my favorite I think!
Wow! Such beautiful work from all, but I chose Jasmine Ford.
These ladies have ALL done fabulous creations! It is hard to narrow it down to whose I like the best; I am torn between Leonara Ortiz's beautiful camisole, Jasmine Ford's love notes and Jennifer Hadder's Valentine's Day Frame…but if I have to pick my favorite then it has to go to Jasmine Ford. Her work is just beautiful and is something I would only hope to be able to re-create something similar one day!
Love the postcard. All of these are great!
I love several of the projects, but I think my favorite is the one by Jasmine Ford
Oh my, they are all beautiful in their own way….. My choice would have to go to Jasmine Ford's project…. Stunning….
I love the project submitted by Jasmine Ford….its beautiful!
All of the projects are beautiful, but my favorite was Jasmine Ford's card. I loved the ribbon flower and the pearls.
Wow…gorgeous projects one and all! I think I love Sandy's pillow the very best!
I love Leanora's bustier.. it's so pretty! My second choice would be Sandy's pillow. The details on it are beautiful.
My 1st choice is Sandy's pillow – tasteful integration of all the ribbons; clean design lines; overall aesthetically pleasing! My 2nd choice is Emily's birdhouse – very clever! Thanks to all for sharing.
I love Betty Pillsbury's creation.
I love them all but I vote for Holly Browns!!!
Some beautiful and unusual entries! My favourite is Holly Brown's tag as I think she's used the ribbons to make balanced embellishments that genuinely enhance rather than dominate and she's introduced textures aside from the ribbons, too.
Betty Pillsbury …. beautiful as always. To all, very creative!
They are all beautiful but marie gets my vote!!!!
I lone the simplicity of Holly Brown's, not too busy and very vintage looking.
thanks for the opportunity to win some ribbon of my own!

All the projects were beautiful but I have to say Jasmine Fords is my fav. I love the colors, the bling and the 'xoxo' flower just made the card for me!
I love the Love Notes by Jasmine Ford..
Being a papercrafter whose taste is more toward clean and simple I must say I like Holly Brown's tag. But I must admit it was difficult to choose just one item.
I love Holly Brown's tag. Thanks for a chance to win!
I love Tifany's awesome paint can!
Wow, these were all so amazing… hard to pick just one! I have to say it was Debb Rosemarino's project, I just love the old vintage feel! The old romantic look of doilies and lace, ribbons and buttons… it was just so lovely! Thanks for a chance to win!

I vote for miss Holly Brown's tag!! GREAT set of entries ….
All of the projects are great. My vote is for Laura Cox.

I quite enjoyed working with May Arts ribbon and I'm really happy with my sweet little pillow. :-)

After giving it some more thought, I think of the four I'd mentioned the other day, I like Deedee's the best.

Lots of beautiful work,really enjoyed seeing the
creative and beautiful ideas.My vote goes to Sandy
Huntress for the beautiful workmanship on
the ribbon pillow,well done!!
Thanks for letting me play with the lovely ribbons! My Friends have informed me that their comments are not showing up that was posted on the 11th and post form the 12 are now showing. So hopefully the others without any love are having the same problem
Each and every one is lovely.
This was a really fun challenge and I really appreciate the chance to play with some beautiful ribbon! Every project reflects time, love and thought! What creativeness from all!
Sandy Huntress' pillow gets my vote!
Everything is very original but my favorite is the pillow by:
Sandy Huntress
It is a Valentine you can show off and keep.
Everything is so beautiful. I love the different ways the ribbon was used, even in sewing projects. However, I have to vote for Jennifer Hadder's ATC collection. I know that she stepped WAY out of her comfort zone doing vintage, but she did a grand job of making them both romantic and vintage.
Wow, it's raining creativity here! All entries are equally beautiful, but my vote goes to JASMINE FORD.
Great job, ladies!
I loved the projects by Holly, Dana, Deb and Crista. So pretty!
holly brown's valentine was my fave
Fabulous projects! I have to pick Sandy's pillow as my favorite though…. outstanding!
DeniseB

I vote for Cindy Holshouser's Valentine– just the perfect amount of vintage– and simplicity…
There are so many pretty entries!
Holy smokes–how do you expect us to choose just one??!! Well, OK-if you insist! After scrolling back and forth quite a few times, I chose Holly Young's project as my favorite. It was that one which captured my attention and intrigue. Nice job, everyone!!
All these projects are beautiful! Great ideas from all. Thank you for sharing!

Okay … these are ALL so fabulous but Kimberlyrea Forde's project is my fav! Stunning creativity!
Loving Holly's tag!
Leanora Ortiz is my choice. Her stitiching using the May Arts ribbon is remarkable – she's an amazing seamstress, just love her whole design.
