All Star Fisherman

Good morning everyone.  Sorry I have been MIA for the last few weeks.  There just seems to be so much going on and needing to get done - there are just not enough hours in a day!

Today the JustRite Design Team is blog hopping with the Stamper's Dream Design Team.  You are going to be blown away by this UBER TALENTED group of designers!!  As you are visiting each blog be sure to leave a little love for all their inspiring work.   Along the way we have 3 Mystery Blog Candies hidden somewhere along the Hop. For your chance to win one of the fabulous prizes you must leave a comment on the mystery location blog post. All 21 Locations are eligible locations for the Mystery Blog Candy!!   The deadline for leaving comments is 9pm cst Friday - The winners will be announced on the JustRite blog on Saturday.

I decided to do a scrapbook page of my husband on one of his "many" fishing trips that he has planned for this summer.  He loves fishing and being on his boat.  Can you see how calm the water was on this day?  A perfect day for fishing!

For my scrapbook page I used several different JustRite Stamp sets - You Are The Best, Charmed, Cherish The Memories, and Times Roman 25 point.  All of the JustRite Stamps work so well together, especially on a scrapbook page. 

The blue ribbon uses the "You Are The Best" set stamped with Memento Danube Blue and diecut with Spellbinders Blossom 3 (this stamp set was designed to work perfectly with these dies).  To personalize the ribbon I used the 25 point Times Roman Font stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black.
For the upper left corner I decided to use the Charmed set along with a sentiment from "You Are The Best" then diecut with the JustRite Custom Charm Dies.
In the lower corner I chose a sentiment from the "Cherish The Memories" set, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and diecut with Spellbinders Labels 4.  I thought this sentiment was "perfect" for describing the day that my husband had fishing.

Here is a look at all of the JustRite Stamp sets that I used to create my scrapbook page:

Family Garden

Good morning everyone.  Are you enjoying the JustRite May releases?  These sets are so nice and perfect for lots of different occasions.  Today's release is called "Family Garden" and comes in a set of 13 cling stamps.  I am really loving the cling!!  This set is no exception.  This set is especially nice for me because I have 2 daughters that are really close so I can see using this set on several upcoming scrapbook pages.

I started my card with some gorgeous paper from K & Company Watercolor Bouquet.  I love floral paper!!  I chose my main sentiment "My Sister, My Friend" from the "Family Garden" cling set, stamped with Memento Bahama Blue and diecut with Spellbinders Classic Ovals and Labels 18.  I also added some Kaiser pearls and a bow.

My second sentiment "Thinking Of You" comes from the "Just Because" set which was introduced a few days ago.  This sentiment is stamped with Memento Bahama Blue and diecut with the JustRite Custom Nested Sentiment Die - a perfect match!!

Here is a look at the entire "Just Because" and "Family Garden" sets that I used for my card today.  Be sure to mix and match your stamp sets - makes them go so much further!!




Here are the designers that will also have some awesome projects using "Family Garden" today.

You Are The Best

Good morning everyone.  Welcome to another great JustRite May release.  Today's release is called "You Are The Best" and comes as a set of 17 cling stamps.  This set is an awesome set because it includes stamps for the "men" projects that we all struggle so hard to make. 
I decided to make a cute apron box for my dad for Father's Day.  He is the BBQ King in our family.  Summer always consists of BBQ's and family gatherings.  I diecut the apron front and back, then made the box to fit.  The fence border was made using the Martha Stewart picket fence border punch.

The "award" is made using stamps from the "You Are The Best" cling set stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and Memento Bamboo Leaves.  This stamp was created to fit perfectly with the Spellbinders Blossom 3 die making it so easy to create awards for all of the special people in your life.  I also wanted to personalize my box so I reached for the JustRite Times Roman font.  I didn't have any trouble centering the letters onto the ribbon tails because I used one of the JustRite clear stampers - a perfect combination!
To further decorate my dad's box, I used more sentiments from the "You Are The Best" cling set, stamped them with Memento Rich Cocoa and diecut with the JustRite Custom Charm Dies.  They fit perfectly and added a great look to the box.

Here is a look at the entire "You Are The Best" set.  This is another must have stamp set!!

Just Because........

Good morning everyone.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday.  I certainly did - we had dinner with my in-laws and my oldest daughter and her boyfriend came too.   The weather was perfect - fairly warm and sunny.

Today is Day 4 of the JustRite May Release.  Today there are 2 stamp sets to showcase - "Just Because" which is a set of 18 mini sentiments and "Because I Care" which is a set of 16 cling stamps.  These 2 sets are perfect for everyday card making and they work very well together which is what I did with my card.

The sentiment that I used in the heart comes from the "Just Because" set, stamped with Memento Bamboo Leaves and diecut using the JustRite Custom Charm Dies.  I added a small flower and ribbon bow as well as some Kaiser pearls.

The sentiment on the lower right comes from the "Because I Care" set, stamped directly onto the cardstock with Memento Bamboo Leaves.  I also used the JustRite Custom Charm Dies to diecut a heart from the same designer paper as I used in the upper portion of the card.

Here is a look at the entire stamp sets being introduced today

Sending You Sunshine

Good morning.  Welcome to Day 3 of the JustRite May Release.  Today's release set is called "Sending You Sunshine" and that is exactly what a card using this set will do.  This set comes with 4 - 2" round ribbed stamps - 3 beautiful sentiments centers and 1 beautiful bouquet of flowers center as well as the borders. 
I chose to use 2 different centers stamped side by side.  The sentiment is stamped with Memento Bahama Blue and the flowers are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics.  Then I diecut it with Spellbinders Labels 14.

To add dimension I added layers using Cuttlebug Herringbone embossing folder as well as the Martha Stewart Deco Fan border punch. 

Here is a look at the entire "Sending You Sunshine" set

Smile

Good morning everyone.  I hope you enjoyed the JustRite introduction yesterday.  Today is another great JustRite Introduction called "Smile".  This set comes as 3 1/4" Round Ribbed.  There are 4 sentiments/borders perfect for bringing a "smile" to anyone's face.

I decided to make a bright, sunny card.  I stamped the "Smile" sentiment and border onto white cardstock using Memento Cantaloupe and diecut it with Spellbinders Classic Circles.  To create my "sun" I diecut 2 - squares using Spellbinders Classic Squares.  To bling up my sun, I added Kaiser pearls along the points of my sun.  The white layer is embossed with Sizzix Kassie's Brocade embossing folder and inked with Memento Cantaloupe.

Here is a look at the entire "Smile" ribbed stamp set.  A must have for any occasion!

Butterfly Garden Introduction

Good morning everyone.  Sorry I have been MIA for the last few weeks.  There has been so much going on and my MOJO seemed to have disappeared.  Hopefully I have recaptured it.

Today is the first day of the JustRite Stampers May Release.  This stamp release is amazing(as usual).  There are 3 new cling sets and 4 new ribbed sets.  The release sneak peaks will begin today and continue until May 11. 

Today's release is called "Butterfly Garden" and comes as 3 1/4" ribbed.  There are 4 stamps with borders.  Three of the centers are perfect for coloring, the other center has the beautiful sentiment which is what I chose for my card today.

I stamped the sentiment using Memento Grape Jelly, diecut with Spellbinders Labels 20 and matted onto a mat diecut with Spellbinders Labels 18.  Because I wanted a "longer" look for the sentiment, I chose to not use one of the round borders.  Just because the stamp is round doesn't mean that it needs to stay round on your card.  For this reason - JustRite stamps are very versatile.

The green sprigs were cut using the Martha Stewart Branch punch.  The butterflies were cut using the Martha Stewart butterfly punch with some Kaiser rhinestones added for their "trail".  The white lattice was made using the Martha Stewart Trellis border punch.

Here is a look at the entire "Butterfly Garden" stamp set.  Another must have!!

Several of the other JustRite Designers also have some great projects using the "Butterfly Garden" set.  You can check out their projects by clicking on their names below:
