It’s JiFFy Time!

Hi everyone!  It’s time for a March challenge with my JiFFy friends!  Just as a refresher, here’s how it works.  One of us chooses the paper and another chooses the image.  The challenge is that we never know what we’re getting until we get it.  Noone reveals their choices. It’s always a surprise.  And the fun part is that it is Just For Fun.

This month Carole sent to everyone this fab “Brown Rice” paper from Jillibean Soup’s Old World Cabbage Stew collection.  Once the paper was on it’s way, Julie revealed that she had chosen this adorable Picnic with Little Red image from My Cute Stamps.  Another perfect match!  Whew!  🙂

After coloring my images, I cut them out, using an Xacto blade to remove the enclosed areas.  To create my “grass,” I used my super-sharp, super-nice ribbon scissors(#4) (which I keep hidden from my little crafter) to clip along one edge of a strip of green velour ribbon.   I JFFSmileInstitched around the edges, then added my images, popping them up on foam dimensionals.

I had a few scraps of the paper left and couldn’t bear to throw them away so I decided to finish the inside.  (I used cardstock for my grass here.)

Be sure to check out what the other JiFFy girls created using this same paper and image!  I’m always so excited to see for myself!  🙂
