Celebrate The Occasion - Ribbon!! PLUS -- Disney/Pixar Card Link Up Challenge & A GIVEAWAY!! :)

Hey there!! Howdy!! How y'all doing??? :) I sure hope you're having a TERRIFIC TUESDAY!! :) Wow... I've got so much to SHARE with you today!! I hope I don't forget anything...

First of all, it's time for another challenge at Celebrate The Occasion!!! This week is my week off, but I've really wanted to join in with Design Team #2 lately, so I thought this was the week to do it!! Have you visited my CTO DT Friends yet??? Lemme tell ya, these crafty friends of mine are sooooooo talented, and I would LOVE for you to give them a visit!! This week, they've all created projects with an "Anything Goes" theme (any occasion you'd like to CELEBRATE!!), but (of course) there's a TWIST -- You've gotta add some RIBBON to your project!! :) You can create a card, a layout, or any other project you'd like (just be sure to include that ribbon). I hope you'll pop on over to CTO, leave some bloggie-love for my DT friends, and create something for the challenge too!! :) Here's my take on the challenge....

If you've been visiting this week, then you know it's been all about some DISNEY FUN for me (if you haven't been visiting, I hope you'll stick around to snoop out my Mickey-themed projects -- I made a Mickey Hat Transformer Explosion Box for the Disney/Pixar Hop this past weekend (see it HERE)... I Mickey-ed up a flower arrangement with some Mickey rosettes for the Disney/Pixar Decorations and More Link Up Challenge yesterday (see it - and LINK UP - HERE )... And today I'm entering my card in the Disney/Pixar CARD Link Up Challenge over at Disney Dreamer Designs!! WOW!! It's a week-long celebration of our favorite DISNEY characters -- And YOU can join the FUN (and WIN some MAGICAL prizes too!!)!!

Now...  I have ONE MORE thing to share with ya today!!  This past weekend, I visited my bloggie-friend, Julie over at A Little Bit of Bling...  And I learned that she has just released a whole line of my very FAVORITE crinkle ribbon!!  If you haven't had a chance to try this ribbon out yet, I really hope you'll visit her new store -- 3 Girl JAM, and check out her AMAZING introductory prices (PLUS, she's offering FREE shipping in the US!!)...  Just LOOK at all the colors:

Isn't your mouth just watering over all that ribbon???  You can get this ENTIRE set of Hand Dyed 100% Rayon Crinkle Ribbon (4 yards of EACH color for a TOTAL of 48 yards!!) for ONLY $24.99 (introductory price) PLUS FREE shipping (in the USA)!!  WOWZERS!!  She has LOTS of other combinations too -- You can try out her ribbon for just $4.99 (the BEST price I've seen ANYWHERE!!)...

So...  If you like the ribbon I've used on my Mickey Mouse card (OH! That FABULOUS button is from her pack of Vintage buttons that are just $2.99 with any ribbon purchase too!!), I know you'll want to stop over and visit Julie's new store (just click on the ribbon picture to go!!)...  Now...  GIVEAWAY TIME!!  If you'd like to WIN one of her $4.99 bundles, here's what you can do for chances in the drawing:

• Visit 3 Girl JAM and become a FOLLOWER there...
• Take a look at all the colors and leave me a comment on this post letting me know which set is your FAVORITE...

• Make some of that AMAZING Crinkle Ribbon YOURS (I can tell you that the quality is EXCELLENT!!)...  Be sure to add a note to Julie that I sent ya under the "comments" section of your payment -- You'll get one chance for EACH ribbon you purchase (so that's TWO chances for EACH bundle!!)...

For EACH thing you do (you don't have to do them all, just as many as you'd like for chances), be sure to leave me a separate comment because you get one chance for EACH completed step (plus the bonus chances if you make a purchase -- remember to add that note as I will have Julie let me know when you order!)!!  I will keep this GIVEAWAY open until October 7th for those of you who want to order on a PayDay...  I will choose TWO winners for this GIVEAWAY!!  Woot-woot!!

Here's a close up of that AWESOME button, that FABULOUS Crinkle Ribbon, AND my very-most-favorite sentiment from the "Positive Thoughts" Stamp Art Set by K Andrew Designs...  Isn't that just PERFECT for a Mickey Mouse card???  :)
