Happy Turkey Day!


Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Julie O, here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers today. Since I'm lucky enough to post on Thanksgiving, I knew I had to have some Thanksgiving inspiration for the holiday.  I went searching through the Silhouette online store and found this fun cutting file, perfect for the occasion.
 
 
I used lots of different ribbons on this colorful turkey shaped card-- as you can tell!  Working from right to left, I used Harvest Orange (Harvest Bundle)Witches Brew purple (Spooky Bundle), Baby Blue (Baby Bundle), Hot Chocolate (Hot & Cold Bundle), Merlot (Wine & Jewels Bundle), Aqua Splash (Caribbean Splash Bundle), Coral Crush (Caribbean Splash Bundle), Ice Blue (Hot and cold Bundle), Iris (Spring Flowers Bundle), Cherry Lipstick (Pink & White Bundle) and London Blue (Wine & Jewels bundle).
 To find out more details about this card, and to see what else I've been working on, please visit my blog.
This turkey, and myself, are sending you the best of Thanksgiving wishes!

Christmas Bird

Hi Everyone!

  I am starting to get into the Holiday Spirit and although I know it's still a bit early for Christmas, I just couldn't resist when I looked at the Linnie Blooms Canvas Bird and the brand new 3GJ Ribbon Candy Crinkle Ribbon!





I colored the bird with a white gelato then outlined it with a black ink pen.
I put the bird on a simple white embossed background with some silver snowflake cut outs.
Some Pink by Design sentiments and some 
new Ribbon Candy Red 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon put the final touches on my first Christmas card of the season.

I'm Nuts about YOU!


Hello, 3 Girl JAM friends! Julie O here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers with some Fall inspiration for you. I wanted to come up with a way to showcase the fun 3 Girl JAM jute ribbon & string bundle.  And, of course, I wanted a Fall/Thanksgiving theme to it.  So, I fired up my Silhouette and went to work:
 
 
I found this acorn cutting file in the Silhouette Online Store. It  seemed perfect for what I wanted to do. I tied 3 Girl JAM jute string and ribbon on both bags. These jute strings and ribbon are the perfect colors for Fall projects!   
 

 
And, a close up of the other treat box, too, to showcase that jute ribbon and string one more time:
 
 
To see more details of these treat bags, and to see what else I've been working on, please visit my blog.  And don't forget to check out the challenge.  A new one will start tomorrow!

"Thanks" Mini Cards

Good morning everyone.  This is Cheri from DJ's Sundries.  I don't know about you but I have to say that fall is greeting me with its nippy mornings.  I miss the summer, but I do love the beauty of the fall and the warmth I feel snuggled into my craft room.

My 14 year old son is a newspaper carrier.  Last year I made little thank you cards for everyone on his route and he signed them and included them in one of the newspapers in November.  I decided that he should carry out this tradition this year for each of the 60 or so people on his route.  These cute little cards fit the bill perfectly.  I used some Halloween Harvest, Merlot, and Sunflower 3 Girl JAM ribbon to add a special touch to these little beauties.



I also used:
Close To My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge
Core'dinations Safari 12X12 paper
DCWV - Autumn Melody Matstack
Paper Trey Ink - Vintage Cream card stock
ATG

For more information as well as a video, be sure to head over to DJ's Sundries by clicking here.  Thanks for stopping by and remember to take some time to enjoy the little things today.

Give Thanks 4 Fall!


H-U-M-P Day! We can see the weekend from here! Greetings, blog friends, Julie O here today, with a Fall-themed wall hanging to share with you. It has quite a few pictures, so sit back and relax...
  
 
There's a lot to see on this banner, so I have pictures of the individual panels. 
First, a close up of the top square of the banner.  Each of these 4x4 decorative squares is from a mini album that I took apart.  It was from a mini album that had both acrylic and chipboard pieces in it.
 
 
And, a close up of the second panel:
 

 Can you see that jute string on all 4 corners?  That's the new jute string found in the 3 Girl JAM store.  It worked perfectly on this banner because of the wonderful Fall colors.  I used the Jute ribbon found in the 3 Girl JAM store at the top of the banner.
 
 
 You can see more of the gorgeous 3 Girl JAM jute string that I used on each corner of the panels in these photos, also.
 
 
 
 
 
This final "l" gives you a good look at the pretty jute string from 3 Girl JAM.
At the bottom of the banner, I wanted something that would represent Fall -- a busy little squirrel!
 
 
That cute squirrel is cut from a die.   I cut the squirrel out on white cardstock, but used distress inks to ink him up.  
I have one more view of the whole banner for you, since it was a few pictures back when you saw the whole thing.
 
 
Phew! That was a lot of pictures. Thanks for sticking with me!  I hope you enjoyed my banner.  To find out all the details of how I made this banner and the products used on it, please visit my blog, Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. Now, go do some shopping of your own for that new jute ribbon and string.  It's on sale, and it's PERFECT for Fall!  While you're there, pick up some other goodies, too -- you deserve it!
