I haven't been feeling quite up to par, but today, when my new Unity Stamp Company HAPPY MAIL arrived, it gave me a SPARK OF CREATIVITY!
I gathered all of my 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon  and picked out some FUN and VIBRANT colors to work with.  
I knew I wanted to make a Girl Birthday card since my Step Daughter will be turning 10 in just a few short weeks.  

I used the following colors on my card:
Witches Brew from the Spooky Bundle
Ice Blue from the Winter Bundle
and
Sunflower Yellow from the Harvest Bundle

The Miniature Bows along the bottom of my card were made with the help of the infamous
3 Girl JAM Bow Maker

and as an added bonus . . . 
All of my papers were from my SCRAPS Pile---Whoop!!

Now that darling little green Fabric Covered Button in the corner of the card
is just ONE of MANY of the Handmade Products you can purchase for your own Crafty Projects from Pinque Peacock

**Flower Wand** using 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon

HEYA BLENDS 
Are you ready to Link Up with 
the Newest 3 Girl JAM Challenge?

Challenge #19 -
Theme: Anything Goes w/Ribbon
Date: May 24th - June 13th
Sponsor:   3 Girl JAM
Prize: 
$10 GC and Guest Designer Spot

The Design Team has shared some fabulous projects with you since the first day of the Challenge, so do stop by the 3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog to view all the scrumptious creations and wonderful inspiration.

EASY PEASY FLOWER WAND

I gathered all of my 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon  and picked out the "girlie" colors to make my sweet 5 year old daughter a Flower Wand.  She LOVES Purple (the apple doesn't fall far from the tree ;) ) and is a girlie girl.  I grabbed the following colors to use in my project:
Purple Passion from the Royal Bundle
Cherry Lipstick from the Pink and White Bundle
Merlot and London Blue from the Wine and Jewels Bundle
Witches Brew from the Spooky Bundle

To keep the Flower Wand "Kid Friendly", I added several 3-D foam adhesive squares around the sharp end of the skewer before adding the ribbon.  I wrapped the wooden skewer with London Blue Crinkle Ribbon to start.  I cut several small lengths of all the colors I chose and applied them to the upper portion of the wand.  I then added a variety of paper and foam flowers in matching colors.  A few more wisps of ribbon around the wire stems of the flowers and all the imperfections were covered.

I felt the wand needed a little more of something, so I twisted a silver pipe cleaner around the wand handle.

I made a few Purple Passion thick bows with the help of my trusty sidekick, the 3 Girl JAM Bow Maker

I applied the bows to the underside of the "bouquet".

This project didn't take too long to complete and
I am certain that my Little Princess is sure to love it
when I surprise her with it in the morning.

Thanks EVER SO MUCH
