It's a JustRite Day

Jul 122008

In the past I’ve had to be content to just read about it. But this summer..THIS WEEK!.. I’m going! Where? I’m going to the Craft and Hobby Association’s (CHA) Summer Convention and Trade Show in Chicago!! And JustRite has asked ME to be one of their demos!! I can hardly believe it! Here is the little make ‘n take that I designed for the show.

They are a pair of bridesmaid’s dresses made with little table favor boxes cut on an AccuCut. I stamped Flourishes Damask background on vellum to create an overlay for the skirt. The scalloped hem is punched with one of Martha Stewart’s border punches. The dress bodice is Cuttlebug embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. The JustRite monogrammed tags use new centers to be revealed at CHA!! The tags are cut and embossed with Spellbinders Circle Nestabilities. I used the Stardust Clear Pen to color in the rings and dot the centers of the little flowers on the border. The bands were first colored with a yellow marker. The Dotted Sheer Ribbon and Pearls on the prima and on the scalloped hem can be found at Flourishes.

I think JustRite is really going to have an exciting booth with lots of fun make ‘n takes.. 9 in all!!. They will be located in Booth #3309 and have 32 new products to introduce!! Here’s the schedule of events.

SCS Sketch Challenge #183 - Happy 4th

Jul 032008

Red White and Blue… and Pink Green and Purple! Happy 4th of July Basic Grey Style. I love this new Euphoria designer paper from BG.

Aren’t these fireworks fun! I used some Stickles and my Stardust Clear Pen directly on the Euphoria dp. The “4th” was made using the JustRite Monogram Stamper. The word “Happy” is from Flourishes “Many Sentiments” set.

This card was made for the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge #138. I LOVE this layout!

Oh and I just have to share a picture of my son’s LAN (Local Area Networking) party that he had last week. Here are the guys with their computers all hooked together having fun playing their favorite game World of Warcraft (WOW). I think this was taken around 3:30 a.m.!!

And speaking of fun and games, hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

It's Always Just Right

Jun 212008

Whether it’s a birthday card or a graduation card or a card for any occasion at all, I’m finding that my JustRite Monogram Stamper can be customized to fit the bill. So it’s always just right!

Here’s a card I made for my oldest son’s birthday.

And here’s a graduation card for the son of one of our good friends.

Kevin’s graduation announcement was SO cool. I used part of it for the main image here and then just added the monogram. Seriously I LOVE this toy! Both cards use the Do-It-Yourself Kit and the Small Letters which are both available at Flourishes.

Obsession

May 122008

Ask anyone who knows me well, and they will tell you that I have a very obsessive personality. (I like to say that I get very “focused”. It sounds nicer. *chuckle*) Well last night I couldn’t sleep.. I should have just gotten up and gone to my stamp room and made these cards. That way I could have at least gotten some sleep when they were finished. Instead I thought about them all night. I know in the stamping world I’m not alone in this behavior. We are an interesting breed!

I am obsessed with my JustRite Monogram Stamper found here over at Flourishes. On these cards I stamped the monogram border on white card stock and punched it out using a 2-1/8″ circle punch. I then stamped the medallion image from SU!’s “Carte Postale” on a separate piece of card stock. Then I stamped the letters on the medallion and punched out the center using a 1-1/4″ circle punch. I faux stitched around both circles. The monogrammed small circle is popped up on dimensionals. The designer papers are from BasicGrey.

Rite On!

May 072008

What do you do when you find a March wedding invitation that you completely forgot about? Well how about make a card, tuck a gift card inside and hope that a little something 3 months into the marriage will come in handy! Will I be forgiven?

Judging by the invitation and the pink blouse the bride was wearing in her engagement picture, I decided she likes pink. I love to try and make wedding cards to match the invitation. Guess I figure the bride is more likely to like it that way. You can see part of this one behind the card in the picture. And since I am so late I decided not to put the typical wedding sentiment on the card. I chose instead to use my fabulous new JustRite Monogram Stamper that I got from Flourishes. Check them out here. The monogram on this card uses the Damask Borders and the Special Occasions Alphabet.

The mongram on this card uses the Small Letters and Medium and Large Numbers sets to customize a personal monogram for my son’s 17th birthday. How fun is this!!

A few weeks ago Leslie Miller had a picture of a deer in her garden. Today I was visited by some of our local residents. I don’t have any tender flowers for them, but they seemed to enjoy these sweet new leaves. They have gotten so use to people that I was able to get quite close to them. They never did seem frightened but instead finished their meal and then wandered off to the neighbors. I think they are so cute.
