For your chance to win, post here what your favourite type of trim/twine/ribbon is and how you like to use it on your projects. We'll draw a random winner next week from all of the posts.

Here's her third installment of the 4-part video series and in it, you'll learn how to make a flower embellishment from a couple of unusual PageMaps dies. Fun stuff everyone -- enjoy!
