Winter Wishes in August

Today we are featuring the

This set is most certainly NOT just for the cold weather season and I am going to prove it. lol

I was at Hobby Lobby the other day and they had stamps on sale. I saw these little cuties and just had to get them. I made this card thinking that I would give it to my friend for Halloween but when the grandson saw it he took off with it. I am so glad I got a picture before he saw it.

I added some glossy accents and have to say they turned out way to cute to be spooky.

This is a lunchbox note I made for my granddaughter in May. If you would like to read more about it you will find the post HERE.

See, neither one of my projects were made any where near the cold weather months . lol

Sadly this is my very last post for the K Andrew Designs DT.

It has been a wonderful 5 months.

I want to thank Kristal for allowing me to be a part of her design team. Also a huge Thank You to all of the other team members for being such an awesome inspiration!

Deer Kisses for 3 Girl JAM

TGIF 3 Girl JAMmers! Today is my day to post for 3 Girl JAM and I am having fun!!

There is an awesome special going on for the month of May. You can get the new "Caribbean Splash" crinkle ribbon bundle for $4.49, canvas border strips sets 1-6 for $8.99 and if you absolutely LOVE this crinkle ribbon like I do you can hit the Jackpot of crinkle ribbon of bundles 1-10 for only $39.99.

I can not believe that the grands only have 19 more days until school is out. Summer is both a happy time and a sad time around here. It means lots of fun, swimming and VBS but it also means that the kids will be gone for 6 weeks (2 whole weeks at a time) for summer visits. We are going to be so lonely and it is going to be so so quiet around here.

This summer I plan on getting ahead on lunchbox cards so that I am not in a rush the night before to get them done for the next day. Here is one for my granddaughter using the Disney Classics cartridge,

I used the 3 Girl JAM "Witches Brew" crinkle ribbon from the "Spooky" bundle and "Lilac Purple" twine.

For the background on my card I used the shooting star from K Andrew Designs "Amazing You" stamp set and VersaMark Ink. The sentiment is from the "Winter Wishes" stamp set.

3 Girl JAM "Nice To Meet You" Blog Hop

Welcome to the 3 Girl JAM "Nice To Meet You" Blog Hop.

If my sweet DT sister Avery over at Iowa Craft Girl sent you here then you are on the right track. If you just happened to stumble upon this hop and want to start from the beginning, please go back to the beginning and visit Julie at A Little Bit of Bling.

Today the design team is hopping by to introduce ourselves and show you some of the fun things you can do with the awesome

3 Girl JAM products!

My name is Gloria and I am a mom of 1 adult daughter. I have 3 (almost 4) grandkids that call me Oma, which is German for grandma. This is where my blog name “Oma’s Crafts” came from. We have 4 generations living under the same roof. It can be very challenging at times but also rewarding. I find myself hiding in my craft room to get a little peace and quiet though.

I usually don’t act my age!! I have been a child care provider for many years so being around kids a majority of the time I start acting like one. You know how they say some people start looking like their pets well maybe I have started acting like my kids. :-) I also teach Bernina owners classes at my local shop and recently started teaching some paper crafting at our local JoAnn’s.

I have been crafting for as long as I can remember. It started with latch hook rugs, then plastic canvas and counted cross stitch through high school and up until 2005 when I got my first embroidery machine. In the summer of 2010 hubby and I were in Wal Mart and I saw the Cricut and the rest is history!!!

I started my blog about 1 ½ years ago and am loving it. I love making cards, 3D projects and minis. There are only 37 kids in my grandkids school so when I make treats I make 50 of them for all students and staff. I make a lot of lunchbox notes for the 2 oldest grandkids which they really like seeing each day.

I first got to know Julie (founder of 3 Girl JAM along with her 2 daughters) when she asked me to be part of her grand opening blog hop and I have loved her every since. I am so honored that she actually chose me to be a member of the first ever 3 Girl JAM Design Team!! How cool is that!! I am also excited about being in the company of some extremely talented crafters.

My project for today is in honor of our fearless leader because I consider her one of my besties!
