Your Invited to the Party!



Hello, crafty friends. Are you ready to celebrate?  Julie O here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers with some Thursday inspiration for you.
3 Girl JAM is 2 years old, and the whole month of September is a celebration.  I thought I'd get in party mode with my post today.  It's a warm-up for tomorrow's blog hop! Party, party, party! 

 
I cut this purse shaped card out on my Silhouette, using a file from The Cutting Café, stamped some 'styling' sentiments, and decorated it up with 3 Girl JAM Tuxedo crinkle ribbon from the Celebrations Bundle. There's also a fabric covered button from Pinque Peacock to really dress up this purse. Because every girl needs a fancy purse to take to the party, right?
Want to know what's inside the purse?
 
 
There you go! Your own personal invitation to the month-long party! Come back tomorrow for more celebrating with 3 Girl JAM! There'll be lots of prizes to win and inspiration galore!
For more details about this card, please visit my blog.

Guest Designer: Karen N


Hi Everyone!
A Special Celebration Month calls for some Special Guest Designers!
We have a few of our friends joining us each Wednesday of September to help us celebrate.

Our first friend is Karen from Craftily Yours.  Karen has joined us on our blog before and has been a winner of one of our Challenges too!

Check out the super cute card she made for her post for our 2 Year Celebration Month!!


Hi There, Karen N here from Craftily Yours as today's guest designer for 3 Girl JAM!  The theme I was asked to follow was "celebration," and I'm super honored to be part of the 3 Girl JAM birthday celebration!  I used 3 Girl JAM Witches Brew from the Spooky Bundle - found http://www.3girljam.com/product/spooky-bundle.  I use this particular color a lot; not just for spooky projects.  I love it!  The button is also from 3 Girl JAM found here -www.3girljam.com/category/buttons.  The paper I used in my project is from the Teresa Collins Fabrication line.  That adorable girl is Blossom by Blossom stamps from There She Goes.  I used some Tim Holtz distress ink in Mustard Yellow on the front.  I love the effect; it reminds me of bright sunshine in her face.  The back shadow is Tim Holtz Milled Lavender.  The sentiment is from Tiddly Inks.  It certainly fit the theme :)  Here's wishing 3 Girl JAM a very happy birthday celebration and oodles of success in the future!

Thank you Karen for the kind words- and thank your for being a fabulous friend of 3 Girl JAM!

School Locker Note Box

Hi Friends! Abby here with ScrappinAbby and I'm excited to be back to share another crafty project with all of you using the FAB Crinkle Ribbon from 3 Girl JAM!

I made another Back-To-School project since that's the season for all of us parents right now. My daughter, Kaley, is going into the 8th grade so I've been busy working on projects for her locker at school. So what I'm sharing today is another one of those projects, this time it's a note box that she can hang in her locker.......




I altered a tea box for this project. I'll have a video up on my blog later this week that will show you how I did this. As I've mentioned before, Kaley loves hot pink, black and bright green so the TuxedoCherry Lipstick and Green Crinkle Ribbons worked perfectly for this project. 


I made a small flower with some of the green Crinkle Ribbon to sort of dress up the top portion of the note box. Kaley loves these flowers : )

This is a cool way to add some texture and dimension to your project with the Crinkle Ribbon. 
Even the Sharpies have some 3GJ love : )
I put some magnetic tape strips on the backside so Kaley could stick this on the inside door of her locker. I think she is going to love it!  I hope I was able to show you some new ways to use the yummy 3GJ Crinkle Ribbon. 

Thanks for stopping by the 3GJ Blog and for checking out another ScrappinAbby project.

Happy Craftin!!

Dorothy Thank You Card

Happy Labor Day Monday!!  Nicole here, I hope you are having an excellent holiday weekend and are finding some free moments to craft!  I know I have been crafting quite a bit this weekend and one of my projects is this cute Dorothy card that I made for a special thank you.  My youngest daughter was Dorothy in their school play "Ease on Down the Road".  We borrowed a Dorothy costume from a family friend and I wanted a special card to go with the return of her costume.  As you can probably guess, this is something I have needed to do for awhile now since school has been out for months - so it was time to "get 'er done",


I added a bow made with both 3 Girl JAM "Ice Blue" and "Baby Boy" crinkle ribbon.  Thanks for stopping by today - for more details on my card feel free to visit my BLOG.
