You & Me

I have been having so much fun with these State Line bags (new in the 3 Girl JAM store) They come in a size for any need. I also used a little Glossy Accents to add some Valentine Flair to my bag perfect for any hubby and tied some White crinkle ribbon on the top.

All the stamping was done using The Stamps of Life "Hearts2DieFor" stamp set.

3 Girl JAM's challenge happening right now is all about

3D Valentine's with Ribbon.

One Valentine down and 3 more to go.

Just now as I am writing this post I realize the sad fact that I am not very good at reading and following the rules. DUH

It is a very good thing that I still have tomorrow night to work on an entry for this challenge. It is also a very good thing that I caught it before I linked it up. lol

Supplies used:

Peachy Keen Stamps January 2012 Kit

State Line bag from 3 Girl JAM

Creative Inspiration Paints

Clothes Pin Note Holder

I hope everyone has been having a restful and creative weekend.

This week the MIM challenge is Layered Embossing and some new goodies came in the big brown truck so of course it was time to play with them.

 

I used Papertrey Ink's Framed Out #12 stamps and die, white, red and clear embossing powder, an alpine fabrics heart button, studio g glitter glue and some fabulous Sterling 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon to make this really cute tag.

 

So once the tag was made the question was... What do I use it on? A few years ago I made some clothes pin note holders for my grandson's teachers and every since have wanted to make one for my desk but just never got around to it. Well this weekend was the time and it turned out great.

 

The glitter glue frame was made by placing the finished tag under an acetate sheet and tracing it with the glue on top of the acetate with the glitter glue. Let it dry over night and presto a glitter glue frame. Just a note this does not work with Stickles (it is too thin) Studio g is a very thick glue so it works great.

I painted the clothes pin with black chalkboard paint and attached the tag with glue dots. Wrapped some 3 Girl JAM Holly Berry crinkle ribbon around the bottom and attached the charms I made of my grand kids with 3D glue dots. If you have been reading my blog for any length of time you know that my life revolves around my 4 grandkids. :-)

Have you all heard the fantastic news??

Have you seen the new additions to the 3 Girl JAM store?

State Line Bags for any occasion!

Head over to the store and check them out!

 

My project for today would make adorable party favors for any scrappy party but since there are not many scrappy get-togethers around here I made these for a couple friends.

Instead of filling these little treat cups up with sugary treats they are filled with yummy crinkle ribbon. They each have a cute Love Flair Button to make them even more special.

The adorable faces are from
PKS-440 Cute & Cuddly

PKS Challenge: 3-D Objects with Bears, Bears, Bears

MIM 100 Packaging Oversized Cards

Wow I have to say the Make It Monday challenge this week was so much fun!

They have all been taking me a little outside of my norm and I am really liking it.

The 3 windows were cut out using the Take Three die from PTI. The hearts were cut from the Framed Out 11 die. I stamped and embossed coordinating hearts from the Framed Out 11 stamp set  on a 5x7 vellum envelope. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

 

I also used a Heart embossing folder from Darice, Tim Holtz idea-ology alphabet cards and fired brick distress ink.

Farmer Bryce

My grandson has been feeling a little blue lately so I thought I would make him a pick-me-up card.

 

I used this cute little farmer from the PKS July Kit of the Month and some Chocolate Sprinkles Trendy Twine. I drew some glasses on him and filled them in with Glossy Accents. I really hope it puts a smile on his face.

This week I actually made it in time for the....
