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.

Butterfly Flip Card

Have you all heard the news?

3 Girl JAM has 2 new crinkle ribbon colors...

Coral Crush and Aqua Splash aka Carribean Splash Bundle!!!

Head over and check out the new colors and while you are there check out the May specials on the Ribbon and Canvas Border Strips also!!!

I broke open the Coral Crush to make a flip card today. These 2 colors are my absolute favorites!!

The sentiment and flourishes are from K Andrew Designs "Winter Wishes" stamp set

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

I bet y'all thought I forgot about drawing a winner for My O's Birthday Hop! Well admittedly I almost did. This week has been so crazy but I am here to give you a little surprise since I am so so late. Random.org picked one winner and that person will get a notepad holder with the notepad included but.......

If you commented (before tonite) on last Sunday's "My O's 32 Birthday Blog Hop" post and would like a notepad holder (without the notepad but you can get them at WalMart) then I will make one for you. Leave me a comment with a way to reach you and I will make you almost any color with any initial on it. I am sorry to say but I am only able to mail within the U.S.

So with that said here is the winner that Random.org chose.....

Tea for Two

This is a just because card I made for my stash.

The cut file is "Tea Cups & Tags" from My Scrap Chick.

The gorgeous Tuxedo black crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM's "Celebrations bundle.

The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs "Coffee & Tea for You & Me" stamp set.

To make the whole sentiment I had to mix and match some letters and words. I have circled what I used so you can see how it is done. Just by using a little scotch tape to mask off the parts you don't want to stamp and you can make any sentiment you want. So much FUN!!!

My-O's 32 Birthday Blog Hop

Hello all my crafty friends and welcome to My-O's 32 Birthday Blog Hop! Shannon is turning 32 and what better thing to do, then have a hop with us crafty people to celebrate!! If you stumbled upon this hop by chance, excellent!! Just make sure you start back at the beginning to give Shannon, the birthday girl, some warm wishes and for a chance to win some awesome yummy candy!! If Lisa sent you over then you are in the perfect place.

For my gift to Shannon I combined my 2 loves.... Paper and Fiber.

 The notepad holder was embroidered using a file from A Design in Stitches. I didn't embellish the cover because it is meant to be torn off. I left it on to protect the papers during mailing.

The card sentiment is from K Andrew Designs "Positive Thoughts" stamp set.

The "Antique White" ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM Pink and White bundle.

Since the hop this month is all about "showing your style" I decided to make something 3-D (which I LOVE)

May 7-11 is Teacher Appreciation week so I made a yummy little treat dispenser for one of the three teachers at my grandkids school.

The file for this dispenser is from My Scrap Chick.

Papers are from DCWV Grade School stack.

I colored a popsicle stick and wood oval with Tim Holtz "Peeled Paint" distress ink.

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!
