Happy Birthday to my Twin - Jennifer!

!!! HAPPY MONDAY !!!
Blends and 3 Girl JAM-mers

I am excited to get to share my project with all of our lovely followers at the 3 Girl JAM Blog today!

Today is not only my birthday, but also my sweet Twin, Jennifer's birthday, too.

I made her a Gift using the wonderful 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon.

Since the February Challenge Theme with 3 Girl JAM is "THINGS I LOVE"

this was a perfect way for me to show how much I LOVE HER!!!!

Jennifer is my BEST FRIEND in the whole world. She has been by my side from Day 1. She is a wonderful support to me during some of the most difficult times, and an amazing encouragement to me on the Good Days too! My life would not be the same without her!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISSY-FER!

Here is the finished wall hanging.

I used two fabulous colors of 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon on the gift. First I used

Aqua Splash

so that it could be hung on a wall, cabinet, or anywhere her heart desires. I left a few "frilly" ends to give it a bit more character.

I then used

& Witches Brew

to offset the light color of the Aqua Splash.

I tied small pieces of the same colors to the wood shape (from Unity Stamp Co.). The wood shape coordinates perfectly with the stamp set I used for the sentiments on this project. The Unity Stamp Co. set is called ...birthday jubilee by artista, Lisa Arana.

The sentiment was stamped first with embossing ink and heat embossed using Tim Holtz vintage photo Distress Powder directly onto the wood.

I also used the "happy birthday" pennant sentiment from the same set over on the left side of the wall art.

The image of the two Besties is by the wonderful Sherri Baldy and is called "Kickin Back"

This is only the 2nd time I have used my Spectrum Noir markers, but ----WOW do I love them!!!

I have a lot of learning to do with them, but they are sooooo super fun!

You can purchase your own markers at the Pinque Peacock Discount Hut at very AFFORDABLE prices!

I had the opportunity to watch a fabulous video tutorial during a You Tube Blog Hop this weekend. I was super anxious to try to create a wonderful armoire and use my 3 Girl JAM Goodies

to PRETTY IT UP!

The YouTube Tutorial can be found here: MBT: Small and Large Armoire for your Prima Doll Stamps

Thanks for an awesome video LiveLoveScrap!

Since the February Challenge Theme with 3 Girl JAM is "THINGS I LOVE"

I reached for my 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon to embellish the doors of the armoire and the *NEW* Hand Died Lace to embellish the inside.

I have had the paper I used on this project in my stash for-ever! It is super shiny and I love the color combination on both sides.

I wanted to also incorporate a sweet Sherri Baldy Besties image since I LOVE her work!

I followed the tutorial to cut and score all of my papers before adhering them together.

I printed lots of copies of darling Sherry Baldy Besties - "Posie Pockets" in coordinating colors and patterns. I used my new Spectrum Markers to color her face, hair, and knickers. All the other portions of her outfit were fussy cut and paper pieced together.
