Dance a Little Jig

TGIM (Thank Goodness It's Monday)

Gloria here from Oma's Crafts.

This weekend has been crazy busy with work, class and the grands. Not much time left to play in the craft cave.

I am so looking forward to a slower week.

It is all about the green over on the Challenge Blog and I am playing along.

This happy guy has been enjoying his green beer a little too much. lol 3GJ Goblin Green ribbon is the perfect touch for this St Patty's Day card.

I hope you all have a fun week.

Happy Crafting!!!

Mustache Mania

Hello All, Gloria here from Oma's Crafts.

I hope you have been enjoying the first half of our

3GJ/TAWS Cross Promotion Double Challenge Blog Hop

that started on Friday. Be sure to also join in on the second half starting this coming Friday.

I am so very honored to be in the company of all these extremely talented and creative artists!!

The project I was "Inspired" to make was a late treat for my Valentine. My family had a few hard personal things we had to deal with around the holiday and nobody was really thinking about chocolates and flowers at the time. Hubby's birthday was the day before Valentine's and I even forgot to wish him Happy Birthday. I felt so bad.

I covered a State Line bag with all the mustache stamps from TAWS "Mustache Mania" stamp set and replaced the ties with London Blue crinkle ribbon. The bag is filled with yummy Sixlets candies.

Happy Crafting!!



You & Me

Gloria here today from Oma's Crafts.

I have been having so much fun with these State Line bags (new in the 3 Girl JAM store) They come in a size for any need. I also used a little Glossy Accents to add some Valentine Flair to my bag perfect for any hubby and tied some White crinkle ribbon on the top.

3 Girl JAM's challenge happening right now is all about 3D Valentine's with Ribbon.

Happy Crafting Everyone!

Ribbon Bears

Happy Monday Everyone!

Gloria here from Oma's Crafts

Have you all heard the fantastic news??

Have you seen the new additions to the 3 Girl JAM store?

State Line Bags for any occasion!

Head over to the store and check them out!

My project for today would make adorable party favors for any scrappy party but since there are not many scrappy get-togethers around here I made these for a couple friends.

Instead of filling these little treat cups up with sugary treats they are filled with yummy crinkle ribbon. They each have a cute Love Flair Button to make them even more special.

Happy Crafting!!

I'm a Sketch

Happy Monday All Gloria here from Oma's Crafts!

I hope you all are having a great start to 2013. I am praying for a much quieter year then last. One of my few resolutions is to stock up on chill pills. I am trying to work very hard on not letting the little things bother me and picking my battles a little more carefully. We have 8 people (hubby and myself, my mother, our daughter and 4 grands) all living in the same house and tensions run high sometimes. Have you ever heard the saying that grandkids are your reward for not strangling your kids. lol Well I have been rewarded with 4 beautiful and amazing grandkids.

For my project today the amazingly talented Betty is making a digi to resemble me. This is the sketch and I was way toooo excited and had to color it up. This is exactly what it looks like in my craft room. The grands are always in here asking to make something and I Love It!!!

I wove some Ice Blue and Sterling crinkle ribbon around a scalloped square to make a bit of a frame.

Happy Crafting!!!



Guest Designer Betty Roberts

I am so excited to have Betty Roberts from Simply Betty Stamps as a Guest Designer today.

I was first introduced to her, over a year ago, when I was on the Crafty Sprouts design team and was instantly hooked. Betty has such a quirky sense of humor which is one of the reasons I adore her. She makes me laugh on a daily basis and has such a wonderful heart. I am also totally jealous of all her talent. Her stamps are fantastic and her coloring just blows me away!!

Without further ado here is her fabulous project.....

One of my resolutions is to get back to the crafting and not just for my company, but for the fun of it again and for my own personal scrapbooks, card making, and etc.

So, I was asked by Gloria to be a guest designer for 3 Girl Jam Challenges!  OH MY GOSH have you all tried their ribbon?  It's marvelous!!!  I loved it, silk, shinny, and just plain fun!

I made myself a little tea caddy, well I bought a caddy and altered it!  

I love tea, tea pots, and of course you all know what a Halloween fanatic I am so I HAD to use one of my Bettys... Betty Green Sistah! Here's the top of the caddy...

The ribbon is awesome as I mentioned and I used Goblin Green and Witches Brew

Both are AWESOME colors!

3 Girl Jam has lots of fun stuff!  Check them out here: 3 Girl Jam 

If you would like to see more pics of Betty's tea box check her out here.

Happy Crafting!!



Peace on Earth

Happy Monday Everyone!

Gloria here from Oma's Crafts!

I hope everyone has survived all the Christmas shopping and you are looking forward to spending some time with family. We have actually already celebrated with the grands because the 2 oldest will be with their dad for Christmas. They will be back to help us ring in the New Year though.

There are only 8 more days until another year is upon us. I made a tag to wish you all a little

"Peace on Earth"

in the New Year. The bows are made with some beautifully golden "Sunflower" crinkle ribbon.

If you would like to find out how I made this tag head over to my blog.

Happy Crafting!!



Taste of Christmas Tag

Lately I have been getting some wonderful inspiration from my DT sister, Cheri from DJ's Sundries.

I made a tag to attach to some yummy Christmas goodies this year.

I used the Merlot and Goblin Green crinkle ribbon. I know they are not the traditional holiday colors but don't they look irresistible and they match my tag perfectly. I also used a beautiful stick pin from our current challenge co-sponsor Pinque Peacock.

If you want to see more about my tag head over to my blog Oma's Crafts.

Happy Crafting everyone!

Frosty the Snowman

I hope you all have been hopping along our challenge/hop. Everyone has done such a wonderful job on their Christmas Inspiration.

So far this year we have not had but a dusting of the white stuff around here so there have been NO snowmen yet so I just had to make my own snow using some gorgeous Sterling crinkle ribbon. My snowmen also have a very beautiful ruby wand that they got from our sponsor this time "Pinque Peacock".

Stay warm and Happy Crafting!

Remember to link up all those Christmas projects below!!



Thanks Sweet Friend

I hope everyone survived all the turkey and stuffing last week.

We had a very quiet day which was lovely.

Did you all get what you wanted from the Friday sales?

The only thing I bought was a new computer, which wasn't even on Friday. My laptop keeps overheating and shutting off (thank goodness for extended warranties) so I ended up getting a new desktop and will be getting the laptop fixed for the grands. I do not even want to think about installing all the programs and any conflicts with Windows 8. If anyone has any advice with SCAL or CCR working with Windows 8 I would love to hear it!!!

For my card today I used some Merlot crinkle ribbon (1 of my top 26 favs) and a cutting file from our challenge sponsor The Cutting Cafe.

Be sure to check out the 3 Girl JAM challenge blog and link up your projects.

If you would like to see more about my card feel free to visit me at my blog Oma's Crafts.

Happy Crafting!

Did someone say Turkey?

Hi!  Gloria from Oma's Crafts here!
Are you all ready for tomorrow? Hubby and I will be spending Thanksgiving here at home with my parents. My brothers always go to their in-laws, my sister lives too far away and my daughter and grands are going to her bio-dads for the holiday.  My mother always wants the whole spread even though there are not many mouths to feed which means we are all sick of turkey and stuffing til next year. lol

I made this little guy in honor of the holiday using the Teddy Bear Parade cart. I used some Merlot crinkle ribbon to frame him and put him on a Wobble.

Don't you just want to squeeze the stuffing out of him. lol I just couldn't resist that little joke.

Be sure to check out the challenge blog and link up your projects!! You still have 2 more weeks!!

Happy Crafting and have a Very Blessed Holiday!!!



Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Happy Monday 3 Girl JAMmers!!

Gloria here from Oma's Crafts. I hope everyone has been staying warm. Around here the weather is changing fast. Can you believe we only have 10 days until Thanksgiving and 43 days until Christmas. WOW before you know it 2013 will be upon us.

Today I made a card in honor of our 6th challenge over on the

Challenge Blog.

Projects can be linked up until Thursday so be sure to check it out.

I know these are not traditional Christmas colors but sometimes "outside the box" is fun too. I used some fun and poppin' Ice Blue and Sunflower crinkle ribbon along with the Snow Angel cricut cart. This is actually my first card for the Christmas season and I really need to kick it into high gear.

Happy Crafting everyone!!

Altered Carousel

Happy Monday All

Gloria here from Oma's Crafts

I have been having some fun and still doing some reorganization. (in my case this seems like a never ending process) I totally loved the way my fellow DT sister Cheri from DJ's Sundries was housing her 3 Girl JAM ribbons and decided to copy her storage idea.

This is a carousel for pens and pencils that I altered and now it houses my entire stash of 3 Girl JAM goodness. All ribbons and twine are wound on craft sticks. There is even room for my canvas strips, burlap and bow maker in the middle. It is adorned with Halloween Harvest crinkle ribbon, Burlap and Vintage Buttons. This takes up less space than my old storage and I can see all the gorgeous colors right out in the open.

I glued a magnet on the side and another to the bottom of this container to hold all my Vintage Buttons. If you are wandering about the little sign I will be putting photos of my 4 grands on this side also. When my daughter was a little girl I called her Tara Beara so it continued with my grands and they are all my little bear cubs!!!

If you would like to see photos of the other 2 sides and a view from the top head over to my blog.

Happy Crafting!!!

Date Book

Happy Monday Everyone!! Gloria here today from Oma's Crafts.

I hope you have all had a very restful weekend and are ready to face another week. The weather around here has become chilly in the mornings but by afternoon it is very comfortable. Fall is my favorite season of the year. The days are nice, the colors are beautiful, the heater and air conditioner are both turned off so energy bills are cheaper. See it's just the perfect time of year I tell ya. lol

Fall also means another year is right around the corner. It is amazing how fast this year has gone by. I have to say though that I am ready for it to be over. This year has been a very stressful one and I pray that next year is a much quieter one. So in getting ready for the new year I made a 2 year date book. I could not wait another 2 1/2 months to start using it so I also included November and December.

The image is from our challenge sponsor "Saturated Canary". You still have until Thursday to enter this challenge so be sure to check it out HERE.

The gorgeous ribbon is 3 Girl JAM "Christmas Candy" from the new Seasons Bundle.

You can see more pics and details over on my blog.

Happy Crafting!!!

Thanks a Latte

Happy Monday and Happy October everyone!

Gloria from Oma's Crafts here:

This weekend I turned another year older. My present to myself was to hibernate in my craftroom. It was so much fun and I got quite a bit accomplished. Another little secret is that hopefully by the time the sun goes down tonite we will have another grandson.

Today's project is in honor of our third challenge

"Coffee and Ribbon"

over on the challenge blog.

I used the Perk-fect Pair digi from Fresh Brewed Designs.

3 Girl JAM Hot Chocolate crinkle ribbon

I am also showing a sneeky peek of the NEW Burlap Trim that is new in the 3 Girl JAM store today!!

The sentiment is from The Stamps of Life.

Happy Crafting!!!

Yummy Treat Box

Good Monday Everyone!

Gloria here from Oma's Crafts and I am so glad to be here with you today. It has been such a busy week around here.  It feels good to have my crafty studio back in order and having some fun again. One of these days I will have to do a video showing my room. It feels much more open now that I removed a lot of stuff and passed it on to freecycle.

Well on to my project. This is a super cute box that can be used for so many things. I used mine for some yummy Hugs and Kisses. The bow was made with some delicious Hot Chocolate crinkle ribbon and the flower is rich, deep Merlot crinkle ribbon topped off with a Vintage Button. I totally love this combination!!

The box was made using a tutorial from Pink by Design and the sentiment is also from Pink by Design.

So now that I have given you some Ribbon Flower inspiration make one of your own and link it up to the current 3 Girl JAM challenge HERE.

Happy Crafting!!
