I really like Kate Wade's project best.
I love the umbrella, all the projects are great but the umbrella just did it for me.
Wow! I'm always a big fan of mini-albums but in this case the most impressive projects are the umbrella and the flowers (Karen Hanson & Julie Nagl). What they made is nothing short of amazing!!
These are all amazing but Lynn Och's project really inspired me! Love how she used ribbon to make those roses!
I love the bouquet!
My favorite is the flower bouquet!
Since the idea was to use and showcase the ribbons I have to choose Jasmine Ford and Lynn Och's projects. They are all really beautiful projects, but I felt those two showed the different ribbons off to their best advantage. They used many types and colors of ribbon and made the more seamlessly into into their idea.
Kate Wade's Camera!
I'm going with Karen Hanson but let me tell you it was tough. They are all really great projects!
These are all amazing and creative, but my favorite is Jen McDermott's shadow box of "snapshots". I soooo need to make one of those for photos of my grandkids!
Holy cowzers! All the projects are amazing! Beautiful work everyone – I am humbled to have my project in with all of yours! I love Jasmine and Emiy's projects! So polished, and great use of the products!
Karen Hanson and Jasmine Ford — both excellent projects. Thank you for the opportunity to vote.
The flower bouquet ROCKS.
WOW! Look at all those great projects! It's going to be hard to chose!!
It is a tough choice, but I have to say I love the umbrella- such a unique idea!
I had a hard time deciding as well…..i have several favorites, but i think the mini by Jasmine and the door flower arrangement by Karen are my most favorites! Great job to all, they are all beautiful!
Jasmine Ford's project appealed to me the most! But they are all nice.
They are all so beautiful ! I can't pick just one favorite and can barely choose two, but I love Karen Hanson's and Jasmine Ford's !
WOW. These are all incredible! I love Emily's…it's clean and crisp and I love the black tray and esp. the photos.
I love Jen M's shadow box! And Julie N's bouquet is amazing!!
I pick Lynn but really everyone did FANTASTIC!! Way to go girls!
They are all really great (I'm glad I don't have to make the final decision), but I like Jasmine's and Karen's the best.
I love Julie Nagl's the best, but they are all wonderful creations!
I have 2 favorites – I love the flower umbrella by Karen- so pretty. Love how some of the centers of the flowers are made with the ribbon.
The mini album by Karen is so cute – I love mini's.
Wonderful projects! They all look like winners to me. Love this paper stack too.
My favorite is Lynn Ochs's collection!!
It was hard to decide but I love Jasmine's mini. It's so beautiful!
I love Emily’s board!
I'm voting Julie Nagl – just beautiful!
Wow these are all so gorgeous!! I really love what Monika Davis created…
Holy Wow! I can't believe how amazing all these projects are! Great work ladies!
Love Jasmine Ford's family album. Such a great idea!
wow these are stunning…everyone did an awesome job…i really like Jasmine Ford album…super fun..
This is such a difficult choice. I liked all of the projects, although my favorites are Kate Wade's clever camera and Lynn Ochs' gorgeous flowers. Is there any chance that instructions for these projects can be posted for us to copy?
OMGosh!! So many amazing projects!Love the mini Jasmine and Karen!How did you make the umbrella?So pretty!
Ooh, a really tough choice, as always, but since I keep going back to Emily Lanham's board, that's the one I'm choosing. It's unique,and so colorful! Love her rosettes and notes.
Holy Moley these are some great projects! I love Karen's umbrella! And Jasmines mini is super cute too!! Sooo hard to choose!!
Karen's umbrella is fabulous. The flowers are stunning. Such a creative idea.
I love the mini-album! But the framed shadow box-type project was soooooo cute!
I love Jen's frame! All of them are so incredibly cute though. How amazing to come up with so many ideas.
This is tough! I think that Monika's is my favorite, really clever filmstrip album, but Emily's is a close second!
Woah, tough choice! These are all beautiful projects. I have to go with Karen Hanson and Jasmine Ford. Those 2 projects are just outstanding, but those flowers of Julie Nagl are a close 3rd. Beautiful job to all the entrants.
My favortie is Lynn Ochs!!! Thank you
beautiful job ladies!!!
Hugs,
Cheryl Walker
Wow, what great talent everyone has. I love the project's done by Karen Hanson and Julie Nagl.
I really like what Jen McDermott has done with the wood-framed art piece. I've always wanted to make and receive one. It's so inspirational!
So much beautiful creativity – I guess I'd have to pick either Jasmine's mini-book, or Julie's bouquet!
i love the project of karen hanson the umbrella.. is verry pretty and original…. awesome job
Scrappy Kanuck Studio just blew me away! All the projects are beautiful and incredibly creative.
WOW what great projects! I'm really loving the umbrella!

OMGOSH, that camera and flower boquet blew me away. LOVE those two projects, very talented ladies making them.
My three favorites were Emily's decorated tray hung on the wall, Karen's darling umbrella (those flowers are so bright and beautiful) and Jasmine's mini with the darling little flag banner across the page. Great work from everyone! It's going to be hard for you judges to pick a winner.
I really like the umbrellaI could see that ahnging on my door.
All the projects were so awesome. I really liked Lynn's the best and then Jen's.
I love Karen Hanson's project! It's gorgeous!
All fabulous projects! My favorite on this blog is the shadow box by Jen McDermott!
WOW! I'm glad I'm not a judge . . . all of these projects are awesome! But I guess my two favorites would be Jasmine Ford's mini album and Karen Hansen's flowers with Julie Nagl's flowers coming in at a close 3rd . . . all 3 are so detailed and so inspiring! Great work everyone!!!
These are great! The umbrella is so unique!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh My! Gorgeous, fabulous, creative, inspirational and so much fun. Loved all the projects but my 2 favs are Karen Hanson's floral project and Lyn Ochs's ribbon basket. Both are super cool.
They are all great. But I love the flower crafts the best – especially Julie Nagl's bouquet
OMG! These projects are so different than the ones on the DCWV blog! I LOVE the umbrella project, but I also am seriously in awe of the floral bouquet. I can't imagine how long it took to make so many flowers out of paper!
All great projects, but Jamine Ford and Karen Hanson are my favs!
Wonderful projects–my favorite is Julie Nagl's flowers.
I like all of them, but would put Jasmine Ford's mini-album at the top of my list. Lots of talent displayed in these projects!
I love Karen Hanson's project, but seriously they are all so wonderful!

Oh wow, I'm a sucker for mini albums and Jasmine's is GORGEOUS!!
I know we're supposed to pick a favorite but, #1. I don't want to single anybody out because, #2 I think they're all wonderful! You can really see the heart and sould that went into each project. Great job ladies!
the “school” set with the covvered steno book and the pencils and clipboard. I hate picking – but that’s the one I like the best.
Man, was it ever hard to pick a favorite one!! they were all so amazing, but I guess i would have to say Karen Hanson
all of the projects are really good, but my favorite is Lynn Ochs and that cute basket and goodies.
I love Julie Nagl's bouquet….but all the projects are lovely!
I love Lynn Och's project and the bouguet of flowers at the end.
While they are all awesome-the bridal bouquet and the umbrella are my favorites. They are so smartly done. Very unique.
Wow! There is a lot of talent here! It was a really hard choice, but the umbrella bouquet really jumped out at me.
All the projects are fab! I love Kate Wade's project!
Lots of great ideas!

I have to say that Michelle's cute gift set (clipboard and journal and packaged pencils – a girl after my own heart) and Julie's bouquet (just stunning!) are my favorites.
Lots of inspiration and creativity.
My favorite was Karen's door project. Loved the paper flowers and the ribbon swag edging. I didn't realize it was an umbrella at first glance.

How in the world do you pick? Glad I'm not the official judge! I love Karen Hanson's umbrella of flowers though, love that the ribbon is some of the flower centers. Jasmine Ford's mini album is amazing too. Love the mini banner on it. Good luck all!
So many beautiful projects. My favorite would have to be Karen Hansn's umbrella, just beautiful. And a close second would be Christal Bonner's project. How clever is that?!?!
All of the projects are amazing but Monica's mini album really spoke to me. I love the fun colors, all the little details and the sweet happy feeling it gives me!

Gotta' love Jasmine's min album for the unique use of the ribbons….but will admit that the unbrella is beautiful second choice.
The umbrella was my favorite!
I love Karen and Jasmine's projects. The flowers by Julie are really nice as well
So many creative, beautiful projects! I didn't spy all the ribbons/fibers used in any of them, but I think I love the fresh and fun projects by Lynn Ochs the best! Her basket with the ribbon accents really won my heart! Wonderful job everyone! These were such fun to see!
