Ribbon Reel Challenge

I hope you had a good weekend!  I'm just about caught up on that mountain of laundry - seems like it is never ending some days.  We spent the weekend selling carmel apples with the Boy Scouts.  I got to decorate the tables with crepe paper streamers and colorful leaf doilies I found at the dollar store.  We sold about 500 apples that were hand dipped just for us at an orchard in Michigan.  

 Are you ready for the latest fortnight Ribbon Reel Challenge?  This one is a beauty chosen by Zuzana.  You're instructed to create a project using the colors in the photo - blue, white and a touch of gold.  Oh yes... can't forget - have to use some ribbon and lace too - this is the Ribbon Reel after all.   The only hard part about getting ribbons from the Ribbon Reel is deciding which ones to get.  There are so many pretty ribbons and trims to pick from that it is impossible to decide!  I had to look past this beautiful cup and saucer - it was tempting me to make something "tea" themed.   I zoomed in on the crochet lace background  and grabbed a paper doily - and the rest fell together on it's own.   
 
If you need a little more inspiration I hope you will visit the rest of the design team - their projects are always beautiful eye candy and are sure to get you motivated!

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day!

    That is some shimmery ribbon! I love those flowers over the delicate doily and the little bits of ric rack on the sides. I see some little dots of stickles or pearls on the flowers too...very elegant card with the embossed gold.
