If you hopped over from the 3 Girl JAM blog, thanks so much for stopping by today.  I am so happy to be sharing this altered art project with you.  3 Girl JAM has gorgeous hand dyed lace that will be coming soon.  I used 2 of the different laces on today's project.  Julie has also added new Valentine's Flair in the store so be sure and check it out.   I used quite a variety of products on these little pieces of art, but they are actually fairly simple to make.  These were made for a swap at Art & Sassy.

Have you heard about the brand new additions to the 3 Girl JAM store?  They are so fabulous!  Each member of the 3 Girl JAM design team has also been given a brand new watermark to use on our 3GJ projects.  Our very own Jessica Buffa designed them.  You can see mine in the pictures below.  (Don't get confused though.  I didn't make the flair or lace.) There's fun new flair just in time for Valentine's Day... (Click here to get yours) ...And some GORGEOUS hand dyed lace (Coming soon) Be sure to watch the video for a sneak peek.

I know that Christmas is over and you are likely moving on to winter and Valentine cards.  I'm running a bit behind and needed to make some thank you notes to send for Christmas Gifts.  One of the Christmas cards I made this year was from the Teresa Collins Christmas Silhouette images that were free in the Cricut Craft Room during the holidays. You can see those cards by clicking here .  At that time, I saved the negative space and planned to make more Christmas cards with them.  I never could quite come up with a design for them though.  One day as I was thinking about all those negative spaces on my desk, I came up with the idea for these thank you notes. I used the following materials: Negative space left over from the Teresa Collins cuts from various solid papers Recollections "Shades of Red" cardstock Core'dinations "Krafty" cardstock The Paper Studio "Holiday" cardstock Versamark ink and white embossing powder Martha Stewart bakers...

Hello.  I trust that your new year is off to a great start.  My husband and I spent New Year's Day celebrating our 23rd anniversary.  It was so nice to just spend some time together.  We are now getting back into our routine.  The Christmas boxes are packed away and order is coming to our home. I love being in my craft room and creating special treats for others (and a few for myself).  As much as I enjoy it however, I don't like spending my evening separated from my husband who is generally in another part of the house.  With that in mind, I decided to try crocheting again.  Now this is not a new craft for me.  When I was a youngster in 4H, I had a wonderful crochet teacher.  She was so fun to be with and she was excellent at crocheting.  Unfortunately, it is one of the many things that has been pushed aside in the last few years.  Now is the time to pick it back up.  I can be creative and be with my husband at the same...

Good morning everyone.  I would like to welcome you to a new year on DJ's Sundries.  I am so happy that you chose to stop by today. Have you ever had one of those projects that changed completely after you got started?  That kind of happened to me with this card.  I had planned to use some 3 Girl JAM Merlot ribbon on the front of the card, but when I went to grab it, I had used all of mine.  No worries, I already let Julie know that I need more.  Instead, I used some of the new Jute ribbon in the same color.  I think I like the finished project even better.  It definitely looks more masculine than a soft ribbon bow would have looked. Supplies: 3 Girl JAM Jute ribbon (get yours here and be sure to use the code CP10 to let Julie know that I sent you over) Fancy Pants "Love Note" 6X6 paper pad Core'dinations "Juneberry"smooth card stock Echo Park "Your's Truly" sticker set Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge Crystal Stickles Foam tape ...
