Pretend you don't see this - I took this out of the gallery for a pub, but put it back in just for you. This is one of the techniques CK will be featuring from this layout in October. I'll leave it in the gallery for a bit and then I better pull it. There are two images after the initial - showing a ribbon flower. The last photo shows how i prep the pieces of ribbon before flower assembly. This really looks great with ribbon wider than 3/8". I tried it with the skinnier stuff and it really does not look as good - but that is great because I needed to come up with a use for my wider ribbons that I usually don't use because of their bulk when tied in knots.

Beautiful technique, TFS!

Thank you to everyone for sharing their great ideas.

Ribbon has always given me fits. This was my first venture out of using ribbon for a border. I finally on a whim went to You Tube to figure out how to tie a bow. This was my first attempt with the result. It took me a good 45 minutes just to tie these three bows....talk about fumble fingers!
