3 Girl JAM DT Day

TGIF my crafty friends. Gloria here from Oma's Crafts.

I hope you all had a wonderful July 4th holiday last week. The past 2 weeks have been so stressful around here. My mom headed down to Florida on Tuesday for a visit with my sister and her family. My neice just had a sweet little baby girl and I think great-grandma was excited to welcome the new addition to our family. There has been a lot of drama around our house lately and believe me mom needed to get away from it all and recharge herself. If I could have managed it I probably would have run away with her.

So for my DT project I made a card to go along with baby Erin's gift.

The clothes line was made with 3 Girl JAM's "Green Apple" twine. Didn't it turn out terrific. This twine is thicker than most so it was absolutely perfect.

I also used Papertrey Ink's "Hanging Out' stamp set and die for the baby clothes and the sentiment is from K Andrew Designs "In the Family" stamp set.

3 Girl JAM "Beautiful Bows" Blog Hop

Oh My Goodness the day has finally arrived. I have been bursting at the seams to let the secret out. You can ask my family how horrible I am at keeping secrets. If I shop for Christmas too early I will end up telling everyone what I got them so I always wait til the last minute.

If the Iowa Craft Girl, Avery sent you over then you are in the right place. If you just happened along my blog then you will want to go visit the 3 Girl JAM blog and start from the beginning.

I hope you have been enjoying all the Beautiful Bows along the hop.

For my projects I have made some more lunchbox notes for the grand kids. They really like the fancy notes instead of just a little written note so I am trying to get ahead of the game this summer.

Only 1/2 of my projects have bows because the grandson would dis-own me if I tried to sissy-fy his cards.

All the sentiments are from K Andrew's "Food for Thought" and "Even More Food for Thought" stamp sets.

I have always had such a hard time making bows and that is why you do not see many bows on my projects but............

Gumball Machine Shaker Card

Happy Friday everyone! Today is my first official 3 Girl JAM design team post!

It has been so much fun playing around with some of the new products in the 3 Girl JAM store.

For today's project I used 3 of the new twine colors. (Peppermint Red, Green Apple and Lilac Purple) This twine is different from most of the others that I have tried. Two of the things I really like about it is that it is thicker than most and the white is not a really bright white! I also love the way it is packaged! Already wrapped around a card so it doesn't get tangled and on a ring so they stay together! How awesome is that??

The gumball machine is from The Cutting Cafe. I turned it into a shaker card by adding some foam tape and clear packaging plastic.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Happy crafting!
