Happy Sunday, crafty friends! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I went to a crop yesterday and made 2 projects to enter in a couple of challenges and I wanted to share them with you. Here's what I made..

For this card, I started with kraft cardstock. The patterned papers and paper embellishments are all by Authentique. (My sweet Jessica gave them to me.) The gun metal pearls are by Want 2 Scrap. (Jess gave me those, too.) The crinkle ribbon is by 3 Girl JAM and it's Antique White..so pretty. I used my bow maker by 3 Girl JAM to make that cute little bow. It really makes bow making sooo super easy!! The stamp is by The Crafts Meow. I am going to enter this card into the "Anything Goes Challenge" over at the 3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog.

On to my next project..

I started with a little kraft colored gift bag and added some pink polka dotted paper from my scrap pile. the next two layers of papers are by Webster's Pages. I cut a little die cut out with my Slice machine and added the Hoot Hoot sentiment. The little owl is a stamp but I am not sure what brand it is, it was a gift from my other friend Jessica I colored in the flowers on the owl with my Copics and inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink. The little pink ribbon is a punch and the pink fluffy trim is by Webster's Pages. I would like to enter this little bag into the challenge over at the Craft Your Passion Challenge Blog. This week's challenge (ends tonight) is called Save the Hooters. 

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Wake up & smell the ...coffee truck!!

Good evening, friends! I have a quick post to share with you all tonight. There is a new challenge over at 3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog! As you all know, I love 3GJ crinkle ribbon! Well, this month's challenge is called Coffee and Ribbons! 3GJ teamed up with my friend Heather from Fresh Brewed Designs and you can win some digi's and some ribbon so I just had to enter because I love both! Here's my card!

I started with kraft cardstock as it is my favorite! I used my photo corner chomper for all of the edges of my card. I just used some misc. papers from my stash and scrap pile. I inked all of the edges with vintage photo distress ink because I love it! The stamp is called "Coffee Truck" by Fresh Brewed Designs. I used copic markers to color the stamped image. The 3 Girl Jam crinkle ribbon colors I used are cherry lipstick and antique white. I added a couple of misc. embellishments to finish it off. The wake up & smell the coffee sentiment is from a stamp set my friend gave me and it didn't have a brand name on it...sorry. I hope you all like my card tonight!

Thanks so much for stopping by! You should head over to 3GJ Challenge Blog and make something to enter, too! Have a great night!

Hugs,

 Happy Friday friends! How are you all doing? Hope you have some fun plans for the weekend! I am going to Pittsburgh to the zoo, aquarium, and to visit some Diners Drive-Ins and Dives spots. I can't wait to get away for a little bit!

 Have you heard? 3 Girl JAM just started a new challenge blog! I haven't entered in a challenge for a while but wanted to be sure to make time to enter this one. I love 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon and the Owner, Julie, too! This weeks challenge is called "Butterflies and Bows". Be sure to head over to 3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog to see all of the rules if you'd like to enter! Here's what I made to enter.

 I made a tag/card and a decorated envelope. I used my CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge to cut the tag, envelope, and butterfly. I used a K. Andrew Design stamp for the "for you" and the sentiment is an Itty Bitty by Unity. Jessica, my Sweet Friend Forever, gave me the little pearls that I added to the butterflies. They are made by Want to Scrap. The 3GJ Crinkle Ribbon is in the color Iris. I used it for the bow and for the top of the tag. I did emboss my stamping with purple embossing powder, although it's hard to tell. That's it! Pretty quick and simple.

 I hope you like my creations today! Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,
Heather Lynn
