Not in The Groove

Hey peeps, I've been kinda out of the crafting groove lately, but never fear, I will be back on July 1st (Canada Day to my fellow Canadians) with an awesome Beautiful Bows blog hop, so make sure you stay tuned:)

Road Trip- A 3 Girl Jam Post

Morning peeps, today is my day to share over at 3 Girl Jam3 Girl Jam Post. I don't have a layout to show you today, I have something special I made for my daughter. I have 2 more to make for the other kids:) We're going on a road trip at the end of July. It will take us about 2 days to get to Ottawa Ontario to visit my sister in law, so I made a travel journal for my kids. Something they can keep track of where we stop, what we see. Here is the before:

 Yup, I made it out of a Bert and Ernie book!! I needed something with some strength, I loved the shape, and it didn't have a ton of pages.

Here's the after:

 The pink is a pocket and I glued a paperclip to hold whatever she collects. I used a self adhesive canvas strip from 3 Girl Jam, and some of her twine tied with some of the buttons from my stash.

  This is a page to keep track of all the different license plates we see along the way (we'redriving through the US) Glued another paper clip. The font is Nifty Fifties cut a 1.5 The car is a sticker from Echo Park. The flowers are from my stash.

 This page is to keep track of her favorite stops to eat. We will be stopping at 3 of 4 different Diners' Drive-In and Dives, so we must record that:)

I used 3 Girl Jam ribbon as a seam on all my pages in matching colors...so every page is different.This one is Aqua Splash. I also used a canvas strip along the outside seam of the book, but that picture will not turn out from some reason.


 So there, you have it. Now I have 2 more to make:) Think I can do it by the end of July? Make sure you head on over to 3 Girl Jam....she's got some beautiful ribbon, some amazing twine and buttons, and coming soon, will be a new surprize addition to her ribbon/twine family :)

RED, WHITE and BLUE Blog hop

Hey everyone!!! Welcome to the Red White and Blue blog hop!! If you just happened upon my blog today and want to participate (and I know you do) Head on over to 3 Girl Jam to start, and if you have started and you came from Cards by Jovan, then you're in the right spot!

 Today we are showcasing Julie's new Red, White and Blue ribbon....and let me just tell you, pictures do not do this bundle justice:

       Doesn't it look amazing!! Trust me when I tell you, IT IS!!


  With July 4th just around the corner for most of you, I know your first thought is probably how perfect this ribbon is for all your holiday celebrations, and of course, it is....but it can be used for such much more. Living in Canada, we obviously don't celebrate July 4th, soooo, it makes it hard for me to show you a layout for it, but what I can show you is a layout I did of my youngest daughter in DisneyWorld :)

 This ribbon just went perfectly with what I wanted to do. I wanted a simple layout to showcase how beautiful my daughter looked, but i wanted a pop of fun and color. I also used just a tad bit of the Daffodil to make it all tie in. If you're wondering how to get some of this fabulous ribbon, head on over to 3 Girl Jam..Julie has this amazing ribbon on sale for only $5.99...BUT, there's a catch...once its gone, its gone. So hurry on over!!

And now whats a hop without some goodies:)

  1 follower who comments on this post will receive, in honor of my Disney Layout:

5 patterned double sided disney paper, 3 packs of Disney stickers and possibly a little surprise or 2:)

PLUS


One 3 Girl JAM follower will be chosen from comments on that blog  to win the new Red, White, and Blue Bundle.

Another 3 Girl JAM follower from the comments on 3 Girl Jam will win a 6 piece Twine Sampler Pack!


One person who "Likes" the 3 Girl Jam Facebook Page and leaves a comment will win the fabulous "Days Like This" stamp set from Pink by Design!

AND Finally...

One random person who Hops through and leaves some love (by way of a comment) at each stop will win the Grand Prize of a $25.00 voucher to the 3 Girl JAM store AND the Cricut Lite Cartridge "Block Party".
