Welcome to the
Nice To Meet You Blog Hop
with 3 Girl JAM
Now, if you have arrived here from the sweet Ashley at The Glamorous Side of Scrapping, then you are on the right track. If you just happened to stumble upon this hop and want to start from the beginning, please go to Julie's Blog ~ A Little Bit of Bling.
Hello sweet Blends and new Blends to Be!
Jessica here in the Buckeye State. I am delighted to be a part of the very first Design Team at
3 Girl JAM. I have loved making friends with Julie and her girls (Hi Avery and Mackenzie!!!) and am so ready to start showing off the fabulous products that 3 Girl JAM has to offer (more than I do already...he he he). I am also excited to be working alongside so many wonderful crafty peeps that I am ecstatic to call my Blends!
A Little About Me:
I have always loved the Arts and I am no stranger to paper crafting since it has served as a constant in my life over the last few years. I enjoy working on creating wreaths, painting pictures, wood crafts, and altering an item into a masterpiece. Definition of masterpiece ~ anything that can be seen with the eyes, admired, and enjoyed. I am fortunate enough to have found and fallen madly in love with my soul mate, Lance. I am also blessed to be able to stay at home with my 5 lovely children whose ages range from 2 years old to 16 years old. I love the color purple, all types of music, and strive to make people smile! A few of my favorite life mottoes are "Laughter is Good Medicine", "No questions is a dumb question", and "Don't forget, Karma bites".
So to sum it up, "Live by the Golden Rule, ask lots of questions along the way, while laughing hysterically whenever possible!"
I mostly enjoy stamping using my Unity Stamps whenever possible!
Pair that up with the versatility and bright beautiful colors of 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon
and it is a match made in heaven!
~ Here is the project I made for this Hop ~
The flower in the corner was created by pleating some
Harvest Orange 3 Girl JAM ribbon and adhering to
a 2" circle then affixing a glitter button in the center.
The Bargello Technique was used on the background papers.
You can view a great tutorial on YouTube HERE.
All dp are by My Mind's Eye.
The stamps used are from:
Umbrella and raindrops - Unity KOM - Feb 2012 {lucky to have you}
Ticket - Travel Notes
Sentiment - created on vellum from my home computer
The scallop frame was cut using the Cricut Lacy Labels cartridge.
I am entering this card into the following challenges that inspired my creation . . .
The Kraft Journal - April Showers
Chick Challenges #25 - sketch
In addition, I wanted to share some of my own personal favorite projects that I have created using 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon. I will add a link to the original blog post so that you can read more if you like.
