C'est La Vie Mini Album - 3GJ dt

Hi guys and thanks for stopping by today!!  I have a mini album to share with you that I made for one of my dance student's graduation gift.  My student is going to France for a year abroad and I thought she could use this as a keepsake album afterwards.  This is only my 2nd ever mini album and I have to say even though they are time consuming, they are lots of fun and I hope to make several more in the near future!!

I used the following 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon colors for my album - daffodil from the Spring Flowers bundle, baby boy from the Baby bundle, and aqua splash from the Carribean Splash bundle. I just fed them through an eyelet and tied them into a big, floppy bow.  I have included a few pictures as well as a video of my album for you to look at.

Okay, this is my first time ever doing a video and I definitely need a lot of work.  I never realized how much work videos are to make - I so appreciate all of you that make them and share such great tutorials with all of us!!  My youngest daughter recorded me on my ipod as my husband was furiously sanding down cabinet doors in the basement below so you may hear that background noise.



The paper I used for this album is Bo Bunny "C'est La Vie".  I used up a whole 6x6 pad as well as a few sheets of 12 x 12 and the sticker collection.  My album is based off of a tutorial by Cassie Keith which you can find HERE.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by today!!

Dream Big - PPPR dt

Today is my turn to post for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' design team and I have a card to share with you that I made for my coworker who is moving to Nebraska.  We are going to miss her so much at the dance studio but she feels this is where God is calling her to next. We had a going away party for her and this is the card my family gave to her.

Supplies used ~

PPPR "Heart Balloon" cutting files

My Creative Time "Small Talk" stamp set

Echo Park - designer paper

Recollections - enamel dots, cardstock

Timeless Twine "aqua blue" twine

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Tap Dance Thank Yous - 3GJ dt

Today is my design team post for 3 Girl JAM and I have a couple of thank you cards I made to share with you.  I made these for two specific people who gave me extra help with my tap dance class this year - thus the tap shoe on the front!

I tied the ribbons in my tap shoes using some 3 Girl JAM "Tuxedo" crinkle ribbon from the Celebrations Bundle.  I thought they turned out adorable! The tap shoe is from the silhouette online store - id# 10540. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Simple Sentiments" and I added some bling that I purchased at Joanns.  Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a fabulous day!!
