Lovely projects by Ilina… I like this table <3
awesome projects, I am wowed by Christmas Table Setting by Ilina Crouse:
Like the fabric and ribbon tassels. Good way to use up scraps of ribbon and fabric.
Way too difficult to choose; all projects are stunning! Sassy’s light up wrapped block really caught my eye as a favorite, though.
I love all of them but my favourite would be the lighted box by Sassy, my next favourite is the Joy Banner by Deanne. It is always difficult to choose. This time I picked the two items that I will be casing. I chose Sassy’s as my favourite as I have had these blocks hanging around for a while and did not know what to do with them, now I know.
Thank you May Arts for hosting these challenges and the opportunity to win ribbon, I love your challenges as I alway find something to case.

Thanks Deanna 🙂
They are all stunning and creative. I really like the Santa inspired by the heirloom by Jean Marmo. Way to create a new heirloom to hand down.
I LOVE the Joy banner by Deann, it is awesome, it was hard to choose a favourite though
Thank you Angela !
Definitely the “JOY” banner! I just love the way the riibons fall & frameveach letter. Truly GORGEOUS 🙂 Now I just need to make one for my home. Excellent job Deann!!!
Thanks so much Timna ! They are so fun to make, the more layers the better 🙂
beautiful inspiration – my vote is for Jean’s Santa!
Love the paper lantern ornament with the bear. I have a soft spot for bears – they were one of my mother’s favorites.
Thank you
While scrolling through these amazing projects the Ribbon and Burlap trees by Michele caught my eye! They are my fav by FAR!!!
Thanks Charity!! Awesome mini!!
I just LOVE ribbon and seeing how versatile it is in all these projects is just so inspiring! It’s super hard to choose just one .. but, I think it has to be Jean Marmo’s Santa. I love how she was inspired by a family heirloom .. and that beard and moustache is just too clever!
I just LOVE ribbon and all of these projects are so inspiring! It so cool to see how versatile ribbon can be! While I’m so impress with all the projects, I think I love Jean’s Santa the best. That beard and moustache is just too clever for words!

The paper cones are very cute. I would like to make those for neighbors as a surprise. They are my favorite.
The burlap banner is my favorite, I think… there are so many cute ideas, though.
Nice job to everyone. I really like Sassy’s Light Up Gift Wrapped Altered Glass Block. It is very pretty when the lit up.
LOVE the Santa by Jean!!!! All these projects are STUNNING and truly inspiring!!! Great job everyone 🙂
They’re all so creative, but the Woodland Gnome House was my favorite!
<3 thanks so much, Diana!
I love the place setting! Thanks for the chance to win ribbon!
I love the holiday paper cones. They are not so fussy and overly-done. After awhile the over-abundance of decorations boggles the mind.
They are all fantastic! My favorite is the “Joy” Christmas Banner by Deann McNulty.
Thank you Gina 🙂

Enjoyed looking at all the lovely entries!! I am inspired daily by Sandee and her creativity… So I love the key.. Jean has me sentimental with heirloom, so who doesn’t like Santa!! I am a cardmakers so I love the set bySharon. What is Christmas without trees? Loved the trees by Michelle & Dacia. Abby’cones and video is grand. Oh and the banners.. I so want to practice those.. love those too Deann & Chart. The tassels and altered trays are things I am currently working on.. so I am inspired by yours Party and Jennifer! The table setting was totally devine, Ilina. Kusudama your flower is beautiful. Amy was happy to see you gnome house.. it so inspired a story to tell!! Love that! Denise love all the details of your wreath, the ribbon flowers and bits! That mini chalkboard album is cute would love to see more about that!! Aimee I didn’t realize the latern was paper till I read!! How cute is that??? Well done everyone!!!

Love the vintage cones as my favorite.
My favorite project is the beautiful place setting. It is so pretty and festive! I would definitely use it to decorate my table!
Wow, beautiful work ladies!
I love Jean Marmo’s Santa decoration and am voting for her.
Each one of them is so beautiful but I like the paper mache cones the best!
I certainly appreciate all the great projects but there are two that really stand out for their practical and crafty elements. Sharon Johnson’s Christmas tags are inspiringly beautiful and especially essential for all the gift giving. Lisa Fuller’s Origami Flower Kissing Ball is a challenging project that would really draw a lot of attention in my house. Kudos to all the ladies.
Thanks so much Marilyn!
Just love Sandees Key and Jean’s Santa, and Michele’s Burlap and ribbon trees, gorgeous work!!

They are all so great and so unique! But, I really love the Santa tabletop decor by Jean. And I love that it was inspired by a family heirloom!
My fave is Ilina Crouse!
Wow, that’s a whole lot of inspiration! All of them are wonderful, but my favorite……….a tie between the Gnome house & the Joy banner. I love the gnome house for its creativity & uniqueness. I love the banner for its gorgeous grace & elegance. I can see it actually hanging up on a wall for the holidays. Thanks for the space to comment & maybe(?) to win!

I really really love Tamiko McCurry’s mixed media entry. They were all fabulous, but I think this one really stood out
It is all about Christmas trees for me this season. I love both the paper mache and ribbon and burlap trees. I need, want, covet that red chevron ribbon.
LB!! Yay for trees!! Thanks!

They are all so great, I had to look really hard a lot of times, but between the vintage cones and the joy banner, it is the Vintage cones. But I loved the banner so much I am going to make my own.
That’s awesome ! They are so fun to make 🙂
Very clever Tamiko!!
