Just Because

Hi Everyone!

It is my day to post on the 3 Girl JAM Blog and we are in the middle of an "Anything Goes" Challenge!

I made a quick and easy card that can be used for almost any occasion.  
I used a digi image from Bugaboo Stamps and topped it off with some London Blue ribbon!



I used Spectrum Noir markers to color in the image
(I'm finally figuring out how to blend my colors!!)

Make sure you link up your projects!

Thank You

Hi Everyone!

Julie here with a special Thank You card that I made for a special person.



I used some 3GJ Coral Crush Ribbon to go with the DCWV Coral Cotuire paper.
The flowers and the shapes are from the Silhouette store.
The sentiment is from Pink by Design.

Something Different

Hi Everyone!

I was in my new craft room feeling very inspired the other night when I pick up a canvas print a light bulb went off in the 'ol brain.

"I want to paint, and stamp, and use paper, and ribbon, and glue" I thought.

And before I knew it, I had taken an old canvas and turned it into this!


I will admit- the paper (with the house and birds) is DCWV paper.  I did some piecing and did paint and stamp on it- but the beautiful watercolor effect was manufactured (but I won't tell if you don't!)



The flowers were made with canvas paper and 3 Girl JAM Ribbon and painted with Creative Inspiration Paints.  The centers of the flowers have some gorgeous Pinque Peacock embellishments.
I printed out some words and inked and glued them down. And the rest is history.






I love getting my fingers inky and full of paint and glue.

I think I found a new love!

50th Birthday Card

Hi Everyone!

It's my day to post on the 3 Girl JAM blog!

I have a super fun birthday card to share with  you today.
I haven't done many "boy" cards- and even fewer "men" cards, so when my husband asked me to make a 50th Birthday card for one of his Poker buddies, I was a little nervous- but I was also up for the challenge.
I asked my husband if he wanted it funny, punny, serious, or if he had a particular sentiment in mind.
He had no idea....
so we came up with this together.


Even though it's a "man" card, I still had to use my 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon.
I used some Holly Berry, London Blue, and Sunflower
along with some cut outs and some print and cut from the Silhouette Store.


(The inside of the card)

Arf! Arf!

We'll see tonight if he thinks it's funny-
or if my Hubs will have to look for a new place to play poker!

Make sure to link up your recent Birthday projects at our challenge blog.
The current challenge is "Anything Birthday- with Ribbon"
You have one more week!
