Jammer Spotlight, Fun AJFC Commenting Tips, And 4th Of July Party!

Hey Jammers! graciepopstar91 here! Im really sorry I've been putting off the Jammer Spotlight for a long time! Anyways, heres this weeks Jammer Spotlight!

Congratulations Mom! It may seems kinda odd that my Mom plays AJ, but she loves playing Phantom Ball at the Summer Carnival, and playing Temple Of Trivia! 

Today I've decided to put up some fun AJFC commenting tips! Here they are!

1. You can make up a fun blog name! Such as, AJ Adventurer, DXplorergirl, NatureGirl, etc! Just make sure the blog name is appropriate, does not include any personal information, and does not have bad words or harsh words in it. 

2. To do bold, simply do this: <strong> to start bold, and </strong/> to end bold. 

3. You may put stories up on my blog! Just make sure they are somewhat Animal Jam based, and its not violent, and make sure their is NO bad words or harsh words. I want this blog to be a safe community for young and old. 

4. On the Daily Explorer you can put emotes in your comments, but sadly, I do not have that feature on AJFC. Sorry! But if you want to do emotes you can type, heres some fun ones to use! :) (smiley face) :D (very happy face) [*-*] (robot) :P (tongue sticking out face) :I (upset face) :O (surprised face) :3 (kitty face) <3 (heart) 

I hope you enjoyed these tips!

Some New's. - Animal Jam Masterpeice Tips! - And MORE New's!

Hey, Jammer's! CoolCat here with another post! And I want to first say I'm so sorry for not posting much since the end of last month! I have really been busy since my last post. And if I'm being completely honest with myself and all of you guys I will probably still be busy until the end of Summer. But don't worry! I will try and keep up with posting! I also want to thank my very best friend Graciepopstar91 for the nice Birthday wishes and posts!! :)

So now onto my news... I will be taking a break from my Beta Of The Week posts. I am running out betas to talk about and I have been doing then since the blog started last year and they are getting quite boring to post about. Don't worry I won't stop posting them forever! I will do them again eventually but I won't give out a time cause I truly don't know when that will be.

Okay so now onto the masterpiece part of this post! Ever since AJHQ added this feature to their game I have been OBBSESSED with it! It's a great way for Jammer's to express their creativity! I will try to give tips on what helps me be able to draw and hopefully it will you guys too!

1. The airbrush and blender/smudge will be your friend! These tools used together will give you a really great looking piece of art. I don't know quite how to explain it but it adds an extra something to every painting in my opinion.

2. Sometimes clean lines aren't important. With certain paintings clean lines are your worst enemy!
I'm currently working on a painting and it requires lines that are not straight. If your drawing like a arctic wolf or any animal yes clean lines are very important! But if your drawing things like trees, sunsets, or grassy plains, sometimes bumpy lines can make it look more real.

3. The frame you choose can make or break a painting. In my opinion if you draw a sunset painting or anything with orange/yellow/ or pinky colors, the gold frame is your friend. But with paintings with starry nights, I feel the silver frame is your friend. I have not tried out the other frames yet so I can't give advice with those.

And I think that is it for the masterpiece tips! Now for the MORE NEWS... DRUM ROLL PLEASE..


I don't know if any of you guys have heard the rumor that Spike's are returning in tomorrows update or not. And I'm here to tell you that...........

























The rumor is true.  *Pauses and waits for everyone to freak out* If you have checked Animal Jam's Official Instagram you will see their preview of the update with the spikes. *Pauses and wait's for everyone to freak out again* BUT, They are going to be short collars and wrist, and NOT the original colors. They will also be 3 diamonds each and only for sale Thursday through Sunday if I'm correct. They will also have the diamond icon like everything else from the Diamond Shop. So it shouldn't affect the rarity of the current spikes. I also want to thank SarahKey8 for this information!



I will end this very long post here. Comment down below if you love the masterpiece update as much as I do! Also if you have made masterpieces comment which one you made is! ALSO.... Comment down below if you are excited for the update tomorrow! Since the last 4 updates have been each amazing, I'm sure this one will follow! Bye, Jammer's! And Jam On!


UPDATE: Graciepopstar91 asked me to let you all know the new Jammer Spotlight should be up tomorrow afternoon!

Happy Fathers Day Drawing!

Hey Jammers! graciepopstar91 here! Today is Fathers Day! Be sure to wish your dad a Happy Fathers Day! Anyways, if you forgot to buy a Fathers Day card, I have a solution! I made a drawing/card that you can give to your dad! Here it is!

Dad's are one of the greatest gifts that God gives us. They are always there when you need a hug, or encouragement! And remember, God is our Heavenly Father, and we should worship him and love him. Not only on Fathers Day, we need to worship and love him every day. 

Ephesians 6:4

4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Remember, God made YOU!

Limited Time.

Hey Jammers! graciepopstar91 here with some not so good news... Lately, I've found myself on the computer far too much. So during the summer, I will not be able to make as many posts, and I will not be able to publish comments as quickly. I really need to spend more time with family. So in other words, I'm limiting my computer time to well, the extreme. But don't worry! Ill be posting maybe 3 times a week or so. And the party is still on for tonight! I'm sorry for this bad news.

Remember, AJFC's First Birthday Party is in TWO hours!!! I hope to see ya there!

Heres todays Bible verse!

1 Peter 1:24-25

As the Scriptures say, "People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades. But the word of the Lord remains forever." And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.

Remember, God made YOU!
