Fabulous Friend


Hello crafty friends! This is my first post as a 3 Girl JAM designer and I'm oober excited!!!  I wanted to show you this card I made using the awesome 3 Girl JAM products.



I used the Sterling and Witches Brew crinkle ribbon. I love combining 2 different colors of the ribbon to make a bow. I also used the Lilac Purple twine, this twine is different because it doesn't have the bright white element to it.  The stamp is Stella from The Greeting Farm and  I colored her with my promarkers (still need lots of practice to learn how to blend, but I broke them out anyway!) .  The sentiment is from KinderStampO and the flag dies are from Jaded Blossom.

Wishing you all a happy Friday and don't forget that you still have time to go through the Nice to Meet You blog hop to qualify for a grand prize!

If you have arrived here from the sweet Jessica at Jessica's Craft Shaque then you are on the right track.  If you just happened to stumble upon this hop and want to start from the beginning, please go to Julie's Blog ~ A Little Bit ofBling.
I'm Zeni, if you haven't already guessed it from my blog name ;-) and as it says,  a Scrappy Zeni is a happy Zeni!  Every little bit of that is true!  I've been crafting for about 4 years now.  It started out with a friend helping me make a scrapbook for someone as a gift and before you knew it, I had more paper, tools and gadgets than she did! I love scrapbooking and slowly this has turned into card making and party planning.  I love the friends that I've made in this crafty world of mine and I enjoy being able to learn something new from each and everyone of them.  I live in Miami, Florida and I have 3 beautiful kids and a husband who is so ever supportive of my addiction... I mean hobby! :)  I work full time so my time is limited, but somehow I always manage with a basketball player and 2 cheerleaders in the house. 

I am so honored to have been chosen for this design team and I can't wait to show you different ways of using 3 Girl JAM products!

Happy Birthday Kimi!!!

Today is one of my crafty bestie's birthday!  Happy Birthday Kimi!!! I made this altered composition book for her to be able to write anything she wants for her kids.   They are still small but as a mother, I know some things are very important to share and what a great way to leave them a legacy in the future!






I used 3 Girl Jam Holly Berry Ribbon, Canvas Corp mini circles (I distressed the edges),  the dotted paper is from Echo Park and the circle paper is from DCWV, My Creative Time Curly Label die, Market Street Stamps Simple Joys stamp set for the sentiment and KinderStampO charms with the monograms and lock and key charm.  Each of the letters is for the first letter of Kimi's children's name (Taylor, Diego, Jenna and Danika).  The flowers are from Recollections.

Don't forget to swing by the other bestie's page, Tanya, to see what she has created for Kimi.  You don't want to miss it!

Happy Birthday Kimi! I'm so glad that we met and that we've become such good friends! I hope you like the idea of writing for your children and I pray that you have a beautiful day celebrating with your whole family! Love you girl!

Cute and Simple Easter Card

Happy Easter to all my beautiful friends!  I wanted to share this quick and easy card I made for a friend of mine.  This card was included with an Easter basket that was given to her from our girl scout troop.  She's been going through a hard time with her health and I thought a hand made card would be the perfect addition.  I used 3 Girl JAM  ice blue ribbon, My Creative Time Teeny Tag Greetings stamp set and die and Jaded Blossom Love Bunny Stamp.  





Don't forget about the 3 Girl JAM Design Team Nice to Meet You blog hop.  It will be on  Wednesday April 11th.  There will be lots of prizes given away on each blog, so don't miss out! The crinkle ribbon is awesome and some new products will be introduced! You can find more details by clicking here for the facebook event.


Wishing everyone a Happy Easter with their family.  Remember that Jesus died for you, rose from the grave for you and wants to live in you!

Happy Easter!

Hello my friends! I wanted to share with you these cute treats I've made for Easter.  These are for my kids, niece and nephews.  I used the treat boxes from Jaded Blossom and filled them with Robin Eggs (yummy!).  The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom as well and the cute bunny from the Silhoutte Store.  I am entering this in the Jaded Blossom Challenge - Easter Treats and Wacky Wednesday Challenge.




I want to wish each and everyone of you a very Happy Easter and I pray that the real meaning of today lies within you.  Although it's been commercialize just as much as Christmas, let's remember that our Lord Jesus Christ is alive and he loves you and wants to live in you.

Happy Easter to all!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Hi everyone! I'm so glad to be able to have a post today!!! It's actually a very special day (I will explain in a bit).  I really have missed crafting these days. It's been one thing after another, sick family members and friends, busy with the girls cheerleading and traveling for competitions.  I am actually away in a competition today which is why today is special! But I'm looking forward to get back in the groove of crafting and participating in some challenges.

So here's why today is so special.  United Rock Nation All Star Cheer is in Orlando competing for a National Championship title.  This gym has 5 teams competing today!  It is the best thing that has happened to my girls and they are so happy to be there.

My girls are in two different teams and I as a cheer mom have taken the role of "crafty mom".  It's been customary to create door hangers to give to the kids during each away competition (not literally door hangers, but that's what they've called them), which are memoirs that the kids can tape to their doors and collect them.  There is one for each away competition and I wanted to share this one with you all since it is St. Patrick's Day and I used my Cameo to create.  It was super simple but extremely time consuming (I made 115 of these).  The last away competition was in Dallas and I did create something which I'll share with you at a later post.




I purchased the image from My Graphico (designed by Stockberry Studio) and used my print and cut feature on the Cameo.  Maybe one day I will be brave and do a video for you all :).   I'm not very good with software I must say, but I managed to pull this off, not so much for the image, but the wording.  Believe it or not I used a scrapbook software to create the wording and add to the silhoutte software.  Then I just asked my pretty little cameo to cut around the images and words by adding the shamrock image from the silhoutte store.  I highly recommend the Cameo.  It's so nice to have for a simple project like this (especially when you are making large quantities!).  Can you imagine the things that you can create with it????

Thanks for stopping by.  I wish you all a very happy St. Patrick's day and good luck to United Rock Nation!
