Hello, my fabulous friends!!  I'm so glad you're here today, because I have such an EXCITING post!!  If you are already one of my followers, then you may know that I love, love, LOVE to help CELEBRATE my Bloggie-Land friends...  And TODAY is a great day for celebrating!!  A few weeks ago, I was blog-hopping around, and I visited my bloggie-friend, Julie over at A Little Bit of Bling...  I nearly yelled with excitement because I learned that she has just released a whole line of my very FAVORITE crinkle ribbon!!  I was SO excited that I gathered ALL the change I could find from between the sofa cushions, under the car seats, behind the washer & dryer, and inside the cookie jar and picked up the big ole pack of TWELVE ribbons (4 yards each for a total of 48 YARDS!!)...  She shipped it so fast that I had it the VERY NEXT DAY!!  Woot-woot!!  I've been creating all kinds of goodies with this ribbon since then, and I would like to give Julie AND her ribbon a GOLD STAR recommendation!!  So, when Julie asked me to participate in this hop, I was ABSOLUTELY ecstatic!!  With all of that said, I'm super excited to show you what I've created for Julie today....  So let's get to the hop!!

When I first discovered Julie's new crinkled ribbon, I was SO grateful...  So I made Julie a card to say "Thanks"....

All around Bloggie-Land, people have been sharing their adorable cards made with the owl cut the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge, and I just couldn't resist using this fun little owl any longer...  Mine is cut at 3" (all layers)...  I used a gold shimmer cardstock for the base layer, beak, and feet since I wanted to use a few of Julie's AWESOME vintage buttons on the card too...

Aren't those the coolest???

Since the crinkle ribbon is sooooooo versatile, I decided to use the "Baby Girl" pink across the base of the card, and then I twisted the "Hot Chocolate" brown and adhered it on top of the pink...  I added a "Hot Chocolate" bow (I just LOVE how nicely this ties!!)...

I added the "Thanks" sentiment from the "Winter Wishes" Stamp Art Set by K Andrew Designs...  Isn't that just the perfect little thanks?!?!  :)

Okay...  So if you haven't had a chance to try this ribbon out yet, you're going to end up at Julie's new store -- 3 Girl JAM -- at the end of the hop!!  Be sure to check out her AMAZING introductory prices (PLUS, she's offering FREE shipping in the US!!)...  Just LOOK at all the colors:
