At the end of the hop, comment on the RRR Blog post, answering the question listed, for a chance to win the October Ribbon Club Assortment shown below. (The Design Team appreciates your comments, too!)

The October Ribbon Club Assortment is called Christmas Assortment. If you are a long-time reader, you will remember that October is always the month for the Really Reasonable Ribbon Christmas Assortment! This year we have a traditional red/white/green assortment! I love the traditional colors! 

I sure love Christmas, and vintage Christmas decor is my "thing"! I made a 6" x 6" home decor panel, but you could make a card instead. I was thinking it would be fun to have a bunch of these chipboard panels to decorate various shelves and tables of my house. If I can only find time to make more of them! 

I used Authentique Nostalgia papers, because they are so very vintage! I wrapped a 6" x 6" piece of thick chipboard with the reindeer paper. I then wrapped the Red Shimmer Satin Ribbon around as if wrapping a package. I then used more paper to cover the back of the panel to hide the messy bits.

I matted the image, cut from the same paper, with black cardstock. I then wrapped a 4 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of chipboard with some striped paper and attached the image to the chipboard. That makes this project a bit more dimensional than if it was just a card. 

I cut a doily from white mulberry paper and then cut a large snowflake out of white glitter paper. I stacked these die cut shapes to make a background for my ribbon and flower cluster. 

I crated bows with the Emerald Gingham Ribbon and the Red and White Houndstooth Ribbon. I glued the ribbons to the panel and then added flowers and other holiday do-dads. I brushed a bit of glitter over the whole area.  

Thanks for looking! Now, hop over to Ginny's Blog to see what she has for you!

PS - I am asking for prayers for my amazing daughter who just had her 23rd birthday, and is off to Israel today with her grandmother for a 10-day tour. When she gets home again she will be moving back to San Jose and starting her new job (November 5th)! I am so thankful that she will be able to come home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I won't have many weeks to miss her!
