~~~3 Girl JAM Birthday Blog Hop and New Challenge~~~

Welcome to the
3 Girl JAM Birthday Blog Hop
&
the New 3 Girl JAM Challenge
I am honored that Julie K asked the 3 Girl JAM Design Team to participate in this Blog Hop to celebrate her Sweet Sister's Birthday!
! ! ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGIE ! ! !
The projects today will all be Birthday Theme + Ribbon.

This Blog Hop will end at the Challenge Blog where the theme for the new challenge is also "Birthdays"

If you hopped over to the Shaque from Sweet Julie at 3 Girl JAM, then you can continue on.  
However, if you just stumbled in and want to HOP,
JOIN THE FUN AND START THERE!
Now, onto my Birthday Creation with Ribbon!
I created a 3-D Star Box to hold some birthday treats, or even a small gift for the Birthday Girl.

I also decorated a fun glass with a matching name tag for the Birthday Girl. I used a huge lot of goodies on my project!

I used the items shown here . . .

Authentique - Glory card stock

(these are the Cricut cuts I used - treat box not shown)

ALONG WITH

some NEW Fabric Covered Buttons 

available NOW at Pinque Peacock

and

the NEW, GORGEOUS

3 Girl JAM *Red, White, and Blue Bundle*

which I give a Thumbs Up!

(It would have been two thumbs, but holding the camera with my chin didn't work...LOL)

Here are the different views of my finished 

Birthday Treat Box and Decorated Glass . . .

A Set of Small or Large Buttons
from the Release (Winners Choice!)

Here is How*:

3 – Follow EACH of the Pinquettes’ Personal Blogs who are participating as Hop Stops this weekend.

I wanted to create a Fun and Vibrant Mother's Day card for my Mom!

I also used a new flower that is being introduced TODAY!!!
It is a Small Layered Garden Beauty.
Smaller than the original, but just as cute!




I used a lot of the Summer Brights Fabric Covered Buttons (3/4" flat back) on my colorful card.

I love the circles on this Susan Weckesser Card Stock.  The buttons just magically fit (and matched) perfectly!

I also placed a few of the Angel (AB Crystal) Stick Pins from the April Release behind the "Mother" Tag.

I sincerely hope you have enjoyed the Hop Today.
We will see you tomorrow for Day 2 - with more Fun Inspiration!
Then again, stop back for Day 3 - BONUS INSPIRATION!!!

3 Girl JAM *NEW Color Bundles Blog Hop*!

Happy Wednesday Blends!
It is with lots of excitement that I say

Welcome to the
3 Girl JAM *NEW Color Bundles
Blog Hop*!

If you just stopped in from Abby- http://scrappin-abby.blogspot.com/, then you are right on track.  If you are just arriving here and would like to Hop Along, head to the 3 Girl JAM Blog to start hopping

Today, as you hop, you are sure to LOVE  the 3 new color bundles you will be introduced to, and you will be delighted as you see the projects shared by the talented Design Team.

We don't want to keep you in suspense any longer . . .

First up is

The Coffee Bundle:
Latte and Cream

Next we have
The Royal Bundle:
Purple Passion and Gold Crown

And finally,
The Navy Bundle:
Navy Blue and Dress White

I chose to work with the the Navy Bundle (Navy Blue and Dress White) for my card today. 
I wanted to keep to the Navy theme, not only in color, but with all the elements I could on my card.

I started with Kraft cardstock as my base.  I paper pieced the sail boat (itty bitty stamp by Unity), created a 1.5" Fabric Covered Button (by Pinque Peacock) with a cute tugboat image , and designed a scene of waves by pleating a few rows of the gorgeous, crisp new colors of Crinkle Ribbon.  The papers I used were all from the 6x6 stack Every day Moments (by Teresa Collins).  The sentiment was matted several times for a nice focal "flare" and comes from the same itty bitty I mentioned above.

Now, please do take a moment to familiarize yourself with some amazing deals being offered to you at 3 Girl JAM!

....................................................................

We also have some fun new things in our store at www.3girljam.com

Have you seen our Cotton Muslin bags yet?

These are all the rage in crafts right now!

We are also now offering the option for you to create your own custom Crinkle Ribbon mini-jackpot bundles.  
We call them the "U Pick 5 Bundle ".

That's (5) two-color bundles for a total of 40 yards of fabulousness for one low price!

U Pick 5 for $20.00- Check it out HERE

And finally- now through Sunday, May 5, 2013 we are offering a 20% discount on all Crinkle Ribbon and Cotton Muslin Bag orders!

Use coupon code:
