Welcome to the Nice to Meet You Blog Hop! What a fun way to meet the new 3 Girl Jam Design Team!

 So glad you hopped on over! If you hopped over here from Gloria's blog  Oma's Crafts  then you are in the right place! If not stop on over to Julie's Blog A Little Bit of Bling and start hopping from the start! You don't want to miss any of the super awesome projects and 3 Girl Jam is offering blog candy along each stop along the way and a chance to win a grand prize!!

For those that don't know me, I'm Carri also known as abusybee. I started my blog in May 2009,  I enjoy being creative, spending time making cards and hopping around to see what my creative friends are doing. I am super excited to be joining the 3 Girl Jam Design Team! I would always use my ribbon iron and press it free of any wrinkles then worry about the indents from me twisting and turning it. So when 3 Girl Jam came out with crinkle ribbon it was like a dream come true for me! I am able to create more freely with out the worry of wrinkling the ribbon! 

 I love to change up my crafting style and go between cute and distressed. I built my entire card around this flower I was able to create using 3 Girl Jam Crinkle Ribbon!

Some old Die... All Tim Holtz-i-fied!!

I am so happy writing this post! I just have to tell you about my day! My Husband and I were both off today since it is the girl's last day of spring break. We were up early taking care of some business and thinking about all the things we had planned for the day since we were both home we figured we could spend the day cleaning the garage, doing laundry, Nothing fun! SO while driving home I said Gee wouldn't it be great just to do something else?? He yells Road Trip!! I called and woke up my Parents told them they had one hour to be ready, let the girls pack a quick bag of snacks and we were out the door!  We had no plan, we just drove a few hours north and ended up spending the day in Prescott. We had such a great time, we had lunch, and went to at least a dozen Antique shops, had ice-cream. The day could not have been more perfect! So while I was in one of the shops I came across a box that had old printing press dies in it! Most were rusted because they are metal, but I found one that I grabbed. I wasn't sure if it would stamp but it was $1.00!! Of course the first thing I did when I got home was give it some ink and Wowzer!! It stamped! So today was a great day, I spent a wonderful day with my Family and found a super cool crafting toy! 

So the die is an old press from some court house! How fun is that! 

Here is a pic of the die:

and how it stamped:

Here is what I turned it into!

I made an ATC card to give to my Dad because he laughed when I bought the die asking.. What are you going to do with that??

All my papers are from my Tim Holtz Scrap pile.

I sanded the edges and inked them with Old Paper and Walnut Stain
