Ballerina Thank You #2 - 3GJ dt

Today I have another ballerina thank you card to share with you that I made using some wonderful 3 Girl JAM products.  I used "grey gray" crinkle ribbon from the 3GJ "LG" bundle to make a ribbon and glued a rhinestone gem in the center. At the bottom corner of my card I attached a flower that I made with some 3GJ "distressed lace" and glued a 3GJ vintage button in the center of it.  Again this card was made to thank some of the wonderful people who helped make it possible for my daughter and I to go to a dance intensive in Texas recently.


The stamp I used is an old rubber stamp from D.O.T.S. (pre-close to my heart).  I am still working on my coloring skills with copics and spectrum noir markers.  The sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps "Ticket Talk".  Thanks for stopping by today. Don't forget to use code NE10 to receive an additional 10% off of your 3 Girl JAM purchases.

"Make a Wish" - 3GJ dt

Today is my turn to post for the 3 Girl JAM dt and I have a birthday card to share with you.  I never seem to have enough birthday cards on hand so I am on a mission to create and stock up on some birthday cards.  I also am slowly adding to my alcohol marker collection and challenging myself to use them more often so that I can grow in my skills.  With all that said, here is my card -


Supplies used ~
digital stamp - The Alley Way (I think it is a retired freebie)
sentiment - SRM stickers
designer paper - Doodlebug "Sugar Shoppe"
enamel dots, flowers - Recollections
Spectrum Noir markers

The pink ribbon from the 3 Girl JAM "Ribbon Candy" bundle goes perfectly with the colors of my card.    My card also fits into this month's 3GJ challenge, "food or food-related with ribbon".  Don't forget to link your projects up at the 3GJ challenge blog - you might be the lucky winner of a gift certificate to the 3 Girl JAM store!!  Thanks for stopping by today!!

PPPR "Hot, Hot, Hot" Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Hot, Hot, Hot" blog hop where the design team is showcasing projects using PPPR files centered around the theme of anything to do with HOT.  You should have arrived here after visitng the lovely Nanne.  If you missed the start of the hop, you will want to head over to Lisa's blog (there is a special freebie file for the hop that you can get there!)

I decided to go with more of a "clean and simple" design for my project.

Supplies used ~

The blog candy for this hop is a $15 Gift Certificate to the PPPR store.  For a chance to win, you must be a follower of each blog and leave a comment on each blog. For extra chances, you can also "LIKE" Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons on Facebook  and/or sign up for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Newsletter.  A random winner will be chosen for the prize on Tuesday, July 15.  I also am offering some blog candy for you.  A collection of sequins - I have these and love these!!  Please be a follower of my blog and leave me a comment.  For an extra chance you can "like" my facebook page HERE.  


Today also begins a new challenge for PPPR with the theme being any projects to do with HOT.  They can be summer themed, but they don't have to be...as long as they remind us of something HOT. You can link up the projects HERE - don't forget to make PPPR files the central focus of your project.


Thanks for stopping by today!!  Your next stop on the hop is Shannon.  Below is the full lineup in case you get lost along the way.
