Holiday Gratitude

 Knock, knock!

Anyone home? Did you survive? 

Was your holiday all that you wished for? 

I sure hope so!

You may not want to see anything Red, Green or Christmas right now, but I had to share 

this fun holiday thank you card I created for our dog groomer. 

She's a wonderful person and so sweet to our little Teddy.

I used Lemon-Lime from the LG bundle to make this big bow.

Here is our little man...I edited his hat on because he refused 

to sit still with a real one on.  Can you tell he's kinda mad at me?!

There are just a few more days to link up your Thank You/ Gratitude projects.

And...there is also a DESIGN TEAM CALL going on for a few more days!

Thanks for letting me share today.

And thank you for a great year with 3GirlJAM.

As I say so long to my DT position I would like to thank Julie for her wonderful support!

I have enjoyed the products so much, but even more so...the friendships I've made.

Wishing you all a happy and blessed 2015!

Thanks

Hello and Happiest of Friday's to you!

Donna K here to share a sweet and extremely simple thank you note.

Having these on hand can be a life saver at holiday time.

In my quest to use some of my long neglected stash I whipped up this card using

some goodies I've stored away for a while and some gorgeous 

Holly Berry crinkle ribbon from 3GirlJAM.

  

Please share your Thank You/Gratitude creations with us this month at 3GirlJAM.

Feliz Navidad

Hello! Donna K here today to share a few cards 

with you featuring ribbon from the

Holiday Trim Bundle

I am loving the tiny stripes on this red and green trim. 

It makes a perfect little bow and adds a nice 

touch to my country Christmas Cards.

My second card features the same ribbon to create a different style bow.

I think this trim is perfect for any festive project.

A Christmas Make Over

Hello everyone!

I had this "big idea" to redo some of my older

Christmas decorations.  Little did I know it would be so much fun.

 

 For many years we have purchased ornaments for our nieces and nephews.

This year I wanted to make them.

And I'm so glad I did.

I used blocks that spelled Merry Christmas to create

monogram ornaments.

 I added papers and bling and trinkets...

and of course some wonderful 3GirlJAM crinkle ribbon.

So my plain 'ole blocks...turned into treasures.

Oh...

Be sure to join our challenge this month!!

Christmas and Ribbon with Donna K

Happy Friday!!

This is a project I have really been looking forward to sharing.

I've had these plain black boxes in my "stash" for several years.  

So I've decided that it's about time I put them to good use!

This box is just the right size to hold standard A2 size greetings.

There is always a need for notes at holiday time so I thought

they would make the perfect addition.

I used ribbon from the Simply White Lace bundle at 3GirlJAM.

And also Merlot crinkle ribbon.

Merlot is currently Sold Out but you could use one of many other color 

choices to get the same effect.  

I like how the cards peek out of the opening on the front of the box

This will make a fun hostess or teacher gift this holiday season.

You can pick up your 3GirlJAM products at 10% off.

And be sure to join our Monthly Challenge!

Have yourself a fantastic weekend.

Coffee Birthday and Friends

 Coffee is a big thing at our house.

And one of my dearest friends is a coffee nut too.

So I thought this card would be perfect for her upcoming birthday.

We met in Okinawa when our husbands were active duty. 

We spent lots of time together and shared LOTS of coffee together.

We live in different states now and I miss her a bunch.

I think this card will make her smile. 

I used Goblin Green for the ribbon/bow from 3GirlJAM

So....

Back to School is the theme right now.  

It IS that time of year, right?

I like that the 3GirlJAM challenge gave us the option of 

Back to School OR Something with a Writing Instrument.

A craft file folder is the base for this fun card.  I bound it using eyelets and Holly Berry crinkle ribbon and I've included more 3GirlJAM with the natural Jute Ribbon under my polka dot brad. 

The inside is lined with more school theme paper and a blank side for your note.

Just a Note Back to School

Do you find yourself wondering "where did summer go?"
I sure have now that the kids in our area are heading back to school. 

My children always loved sharing gifts with their teachers and 

who doesn't need more post it holders?! 

(insert a groan here if you have a desk full already)

I love the vintage style paper with the Tuxedo crinkle ribbon.

I added a few staples to hold that ribbon snugly in place.

Once that post it pad is used up, just pop in another.

This ribbon looks great when tied up time and again.

Be sure to join our Back to School challenge.

Have a wonderful Friday!

The Power of TWO

Hello Everyone!

It's FRIDAY….

my hubby is home from a work trip and I'm a happy camper.

I had some time while he was gone to reorganize
and play with ribbons and papers, but man I'm glad he's back!

This is a card I created for our nephew and 

his beautiful bride to be….

who are expecting their first BABY(S or IES?) this summer.

Yep...Twin girls…yahoo!

The power of two is suitable for so many scenarios

but I thought this made a fun card for a baby shower. The stamp is a Stampin UP stamp from the Really Good Greetings set.

I used Cherry Lipstick crinkle ribbon from

the Pink & White bundle
