JustRite Projects

Happy Day everyone!!! Today and the next two days are gonna be super busy with all the *Halloween* parties, Pumpkin Parades and Trick or Treating.....that' why I don't know if I get a chance to stamp anything...., but I wanted to show you really quick some fun projects I made with my new JustRite items. (Just in case you missed them in the gallery )

I have seen many people using them and I was so excited to finally give it a try!!!

The first card and the pillow box were stamped with the *Special Occasions Font*.


These next projects were stamped with the *Christmas Ensemble* and the *Baking Ensemble*!!!

As you can tell these Set's are not only for making yummy treats ....they easily convert to fun card projects as well!!!

Of course I forgot to post one more bag - LOL - I made this one this past weekend for the OCC girls and you can see it right here.
Hope you enjoyed my ideas??? ~TFL~

BIC29 Thank You and Joy to the World Sneak Peek


Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

WOW - isn't this a gorgeous Bedroom Beate has chosen for today's BIC29???

It is so bright and the colors are soooo pretty!!! Wouldn't mind waking up in this room every morning - LOL!!!

Love all the different textures too - the Seagrass Sleigh Bed is totally up my alley!!!

One day - when my girls are all grown up and won't destroy everything....I might buy one - LOL!!!

Here is my take on the room.........

I took my inspiration from the gorgeous colors of the room - I used Whisper White, Kraft, Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Pacific Point and Basic Black.

I embossed the Kraft CS with the *Argyle* CB folder and tore it on top and side. I stamped the image from the *Eastern Blooms* in Kiwi Kiss. I repeated stamping the same image with Pacific Point and Pink Pirouette on a separate CS. Next I cut some of the flowers out and layered them randomly on top of my first stamped image. I actually found this idea in the new Catalog on page 9. Isn't it pretty???

The sentiment is from the *All Holidays* Set and I stamped it in Basic Black plus I pierced right below it. The image was layered onto Basic Black CS and I distressed around the edges. This panel was raised with Stampin Dimensionals.

At the end I added some *Black Staples* from Making Memories, some small Silver Brads (Michaels) and the Pacific Point Ribbon.


Here is a *Sneak Peek* from the brand new Set *Joy to the World* from *Our Daily Bread Designs* - this Set and two other Set's will be available November, 1st - isn't this a beautiful nativity image???

I used the same color theme from the BIC29 on this card - Whisper White, Kraft, Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette, Pacific Point and Basic Black.

The layout is from Jen del Muro's SFYTT Sketch this past Saturday.

The panel on the left side was pierced with a brand new template that will be available at *OBDB*!!! The design I used is called *Marianne*. More details about this and other templates can be found on the ODBD site starting November!!!

Don't worry - I'll show off the other two Set's thru out this week!!!

Hope you will have a chance to play along???

Please don't forget to check out all the other ladies from Beate's DT -
Charmaine Ikach, Danielle Lounds, Dawn McVey, Jennifer Buck and Susan Roberts.

FS90 Merry Christmas


Hello again!!! After I posted my *birthday* post (down below) - I had to find out who the *Featured Stamper* is.....and I was so happy to see that Kay Kalthoff aka *Speedystamper* was selected!!!

Congratulations Kay!!! Your gallery is gorgeous and I so love your style!!!

After getting lost in her gallery I finally decided to case this card. Since I have to make more *holiday* cards I stuck with the holiday theme.

I changed the layout to Beate's WSC63. I changed the colors to - Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue. I embossed the BG with the CB *Snowflake* folder. The sentiment is from the *All Holiday* Set and I pierced right in between. To dress my card up I added some *Silver Staples* on the side. I still had plenty of *Star* Chipboard's from the retired *On board Garland Greetings* leftover and decided to make that my focal point. I bedazzled the *Star* with some light blue MS Glitter.

Hope you like it??? ~TFL~

Hi everybody!!!!

As promised..... I finally had some time to download my RAK's and birthday pictures.....

My oldest daughter Sarah decorated my birthday table - isn't it pretty???
Everything was color coordinated....my Sarah is such a little perfectionist.

The girls woke me up with the *Happy Birthday* song and surprised me with a cake and gifts!!! The cake was gone before I could even take pictures....LOL!!!

My DH took me out Saturday evening before my birthday. We celebrated with some friends at a yummy restaurant - it was so nice to get away from the girls - I was in desperate need of some adult time - LOL!!!

My oldest daughter Sarah punched all kinds of flowers and butterfly as confetti from my Punch collection - isn't' this a neat idea for the table decoration???


These are my birthday flowers!!!

I had these on the Altar at the church the day before and brought them home. Aren't they gorgeous???

IC151 Princess and LSC191 Christian Symbol plus OCC Projects

Happy Saturday you all!!! WOW - it's been a cray week for me.....still trying to get caught up!!!

Did you see what the OCC ladies are up too??? Today's Challenge is to create some *Handmade* items - like boxes, treat bags, gift bags etc...

Well - I'll be doing a lot of treat bags this year for my girls teachers, church members, neighbors and so on...

That's were my fabulous JustRite *Chrismas* and *Baking* Stamp Ensembles come in handy - a must have for the holidays!!!

These bags are just way too cute and you can dress them up anyway you like to.

I made the Fudge the other day to start showing off some holiday ideas and I have not even had a chance to do anything with it, but eat them....they started disappearing really quick around here - LOL!!! I grabbed the leftovers and made this bag for today's OCC challenge - man I'm sooooo lucky!!!

I made this small *Chocolate* bag this morning. This was so easy to make. I used the Scallop Edge Punch and punched the top. Next I stamped the inside image with my Real Red Stampin' Spot and the outside with the Brilliant Blue Stampin' Spot. Then used the Circle Coluzzle to cut the two separate circles. The center image was raised with Stampin Dimensions. I layered the whole image onto the largest Scalloped Nesti and attached it with Stampin Dimensionals to the bag. To finish it off I added this Red Ribbon. Voila!!!
***************************


I still owe you some b-day pictures - I'll try to post them tomorrow along with some awesome RAK cards I received!!!

I can't remember if I mentioned that my girls were off for *Fall Break* last week...but on our way to the beach we stopped at the new Target along the way....oh yeahhhh - I love this store!!! As we were browsing thru the isles I found this super duper cute *Disney Princess* Set and you know with my girls I had to buy it!!! Matter of fact - my little one *Miriam* is totally into the *Princesses* right now. Plus her *4th* Birthday is coming up in December and I think we might use this Set for some Invitations.
So when I saw today's IC151 and found this *Princess Bedding* - I couldn't help myself to show you this fun Stamp Set.

I stamped the image in Basic Black and colored it with some Prismacolor Markers. I also used a new item called *Shimmerz*.
Click here to find out more. I used my Aqua Painter to color the Shimmerz onto my dress - click on the photos to see it up close.This product is soo cool - it adds just enough sparkle to make your image look gorgeous!!!

Anyway - I hope you like my little princess card???

If you have any little girls - I think you should stop by Target and find this Set - sorry I'm such an enabler - LOL!!!

Check out my next card.....

*********************

Here is my card I made for the LSC191 yesterday. We had to use *Leaves* on our card...I been wanting to show you more of this gorgeous Set from *Our Daily Bread Designs* called *Flourished Christan Symbols*.

I embossed the cross with the retired *Dark Brown* EP and followed the SC199 layout. The colors are from the CC189 - Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss and Chocolate Chip.

The longer panel was CB embossed with the *Leafy Branch* folder. I stamped the sentiment from the same Set in Chocolate Chip and pierced right below it.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will have a great weekend!!!

CC189 We Three Kings


Hi again!!!

Had to play really quick for the CC189.
I've been wanting to create something with the MOJO56 Sketch from last Monday. I already had an idea, but wasn't sure about the colors yet...until today!!!
I started with a Whisper White card base. Then added the Pink Pirouette CS - which I pierced - and also added a circle of the Old Olive Prints DP (I exchanged the Kiwi Kiss with the Old Olive color). I pierced around the circle and did a *Faux Stitching* with the Chocolate Chip Marker. I also distressed the edges of the DP.
Next I stamped the *We Three Kings* image from *Our Daily Bread Designs* in Chocolate Chip Ink. I colored the the image with various Copic and Prismacolor Markers (I did try to keep them with the color theme). I distressed the edges of the image and layered it on top of Pink Pirouette and Chocolate Chip. To dress it up a bit I added a Medium Copper Brad on the right hand side.
According to the Sketch I added a *Star* Chipboard from the *On Board Accent* Collection and bedazzled it with some Brown Glitter from Martha Stewart.
Hope you like it??
