Gone Squatchin' Bookmark w/3 Girl Jam

Morning Everyone!!

I am here to share a fun project with you all for
  3 Girl Jam

Ok so I am not sure if you all have watched the show

"Finding Bigfoot"

 on  Animal Planet but it is a quite an obsession at my house...

not by myself but my hubby and my 11 year old son.

They LOVE the show...so much so that my 11 year old wants to go and find bigfoot..LOL

This leads up to my project for today..

He has been asking me for a bookmark forever

(the 15 I have made him and his brother over the past year are just not enough)

so here it is......

He LOVES this....

I took a picture of Bigfoot from the internet and traced it using my cameo.

After cutting it out and laminating the bookmark for stability I added some of my favorite colors of crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam~

 Harvest Orange from the Harvest Bundle

and

Hot Chocolate from the Hot & Cold Bundle

What do you think??? 

Supplies Used:
Paper~Kraft, Bazzill
Cuts~ Bigfoot SVG~made by me
Bookmark~Silhouette Store
Sentiment~ Lettering Stickers from Authentique
Other~ 3 Girl Jam Crinkle Ribbon~
Harvest Orange~ Harvest Bundle
Hot Chocolate~ Hot &Cold Bundle
Trendy Twine~ Orange Truffle
Laminator

Just a reminder about our challenge going on over at the
3 Girl Jam Challenge Blog
it is a Thanksgiving /Color Challenge w/Ribbon of course

and you have until Dec 6th to link up to win....
~Any 3 files from The Cutting Cafe


~1 bundle of Crinkle Ribbon from 3 Girl Jam
and

Sounds awesome....Right!!!
Hope to see you link up!!

Today I am sharing a project using the new

Doodle Frames

 stamp set

I made a gift card holder card..perfect for those coffee lovers for the holidays

How adorable is this??? I used a file from the Silhouette Store and stamped my frame on the wrapper.

I used only use a bit of my clear gel pen and white gel pen to add some sparkle and color to the frame and let the rest be natural... 

For the sentiment I used the letters from the Alphabet Soup set.

So what do you think?

Would you like to receive this card and coffee gift card as a gift?

I am thinking that along with a travel mug this would make for a GREAT teacher's gift!

Supplies Used:

Paper~Kraft, White
