Just a Note - 3GJ dt post

Today is my turn to post on the 3 Girl JAM blog and I have a back to school card to share with you.  I used a file from the silhouette store for my card and then embellished it with some of the fun 3 Girl JAM yellow tie dyed ribbon (love this stuff!!).  I used my 3 Girl JAM bow maker to make a double bow and then glued a button from my stash on top.  My card fits in perfectly with this month's challenge - "back to school or something with a writing instrument" - so you can be sure I will be linking my card to the 3 Girl JAM challenge blog.

"Have a Happy You Day!!" - 3GJ dt

Hello fellow paper crafters and thanks for stopping by today!!  I have a card to share with you for my dt post over at 3 Girl JAM.   I have been slowly growing my collection of alcohol markers and decided to keep working on my coloring skills - alas it will be a long journey to feel like I am getting anywhere close to the great skills I see out in blogland :-)  I love the color purple and used a few delicious 3 Girl JAM purple products to compliment my image.

My rosette is made with 3GJ "Iris" crinkle ribbon from the Spring Flowers bundle.  I used hot glue and cut a circle out of paper and just pleated the flower around the edges of the circle to create the rosette.  I finished it with a button and some twine from my stash.  Also on my card is some lovely 3GJ "lovely lilac" flower die cut ribbon from the 3GJ flower bundle.

Nautical Gift Bag - PPPR dt

Happy Monday my fellow crafters!! It is my turn to post on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' blog and I am here today to share a gift bag I decorated for a baby shower I recently attended.  The shower was for a baby boy so I thought it would be fun to use the newer PPPR "Sail Away" cutting files set.  I used the boat file and cut it out large enough to decorate my gift bag.  



This went together so quickly and I just love using my cut files to jazz up and personalize gift bags. I created an embellishment using some 3 Girl JAM ribbon from the "red, white and blue bundle" along with a brass button I had in my stash and a bit of hot glue.  I added some doodling with my white gel pen and a red metallic skittle.  Thanks for stopping by today!!
