OCC Challenge - Bows!!!

Welcome back to another creative challenge over at the OCC! We want to thank all those that stopped by and played along with our button challenge last week. Your cards & projects were amazing and as you know there are countless ways to use buttons. We were all so impressed and inspired by you!!

Speaking of last week's challenge, we would like to spotlight two particpants from last weeks challenge. Michelle Ip from Michelle Jo Gallery , what a an amazing design - way to go, Michelle!!!

and Nicky Hsu from Craft ~ Coffee ~ Cat. Below you will see Nicky's beautiful sample. Please stop by both of their blogs to see more of their amazing work!!
Now, onto this week's challenge. Our April hostess, Dana Grothaus, has challenged the OCC to bows. Please incorporate a bow on your card/project - big or small, bows make a great accent to any card/project. We hope you are inspired by the samples below and we look forward to seeing your designs this coming week!!

To play along, upload your creation to your blog or gallery, then link it here with the direct link with our NEW linky system. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword: OCCC

Here are the samples from the OCC Design team, our April hostess, will start us off:
