Cute As A Button!

Hello! How is everyone?! 

We've got some exciting things to talk about! First of all we're so excited to announce that we've had over 1,000 visits to our blog! Thank you so much! This has been such a fun experience for the three of us. We love that we can share what we love and we hope that we spark some creativity in our viewers  Thank you again so much for supporting us!

Secondly, in honor of our hitting 1,000 views, we're gearing up for our first giveaway! Depending on how much of a response we get, we're hoping this will be a semi-regular thing. We'll be posting more information on the giveaway very soon!

Finally, we've settled on our new theme for October: Buttons!

Buttons are getting very popular in the crafting world for so many reasons. They are so cute and so versatile in how they can be used. All three of  us decided to make a new card using buttons to show how many different ways that buttons can be used!

Marisol took an adorably animal approach to this challenge! The zebra paper and stamp make this card pop! She has a fantastic ability with blending! This is a great example that you don't have to use the same paper pattern throughout the entire card. The black ribbon accented by her green button gives a nice break in the card to change things up! The color scheme really is fun and creatively used here!

Hannah made this beautiful card! She used her well loved cloud punch in a variety of paper to create these dimensional rain clouds. The use of black was so smart! The streams of rain were created using a pen and some glitter! And the best part, the button rain drops! Her umbrella sentiment just gave the card the sweetest touch.

This is Joyce's take on the button challenge. In this card she used a pretty lace punch and a coordinating paper patter to give the inside and back a unique finish. Lastly, she strung some buttons on a string around the front of the card with some baker's twine. 

We all really enjoyed this challenge and we're going to be posting more cards we make throughout the month on our Instagram page so follow us there to see what else we come up with!

And don't forget to keep an eye out for our giveaway coming up VERY SOON! Thank you again to everyone for visiting our page! Let's make it 2,000 views very soon!

Places to See!

Hello! We hope everyone has been doing well! The 3 Chicks have been very busy but doing great! Two of our chicks (Hannah & Joyce) recently took a weekend together in Detroit, Michigan with two other girlfriends. Besides paper, we chicks love music! So we had a great time at a concert and just generally being foolish with our friends. 

On our way back we took a detour into Dexter, Michigan. If you've never been there, you should go! It was the cutest little town with, apparently, tons to do! We've already agreed that the next time we head to Detroit or anywhere that crosses paths with Dexter, MI, we'll be stopping in again!

Enough about the cute little town, the reason why we've decided to make this new segment is because of what we found in Dexter! It was an adorable scrapbooking store called Polly's Paper Studio! I mean just look at the cute door! You know it has to be good!

When we went inside we were floored at the quality paper and cute trinkets. It's run by besties Ginny Nemchack and Heather A. Hudson; two very sweet women who made us feel right at home! After we got to see the store Ginny offered to give us a free tutorial on a  perfect 4-loop ribbon trick that would rock our socks off. It sure did! And she was right when she said we'd be making them like crazy!

With privately owned scrapbook stores on the decline in exchange for big box stores, we really want to support these ladies and any scrapbook store we come across. Whenever we go on a trip or run across a privately owned or small scrapbook store, we'll post it here. Please share the love so that we can keep them in business! They deserve it!
