Good morning everyone.  Welcome to the last day of the JustRite Release.  Today's release is called "Charmed".  It is a set of 15 Cling stamps perfect for adding tags to your project.  What is better than ready made tags - dies to cut them!!  That's right - JustRite has custom Charm Dies that will diecut these "charms" perfectly!!  Can't get much better than that.  Another awesome feature of

Good Morning everyone.  Today is Day 6 of the JustRite Stampers release.  Today's release is called "Hugs To You".  This is a ribbed oval set with some gorgeous decorative borders and great sentiments.  Just as the name suggests - this set is perfect for those "comfort" cards that we all make. For my card, I chose paper from the DCWV Mariposa Stack and positioned my sentiment off to the side so

Good morning.  Welcome to day 5 of the JustRite Stampers release.  Today's release is called "Song In My Heart".  This set comes as a large oval ribbed set.  The centers in this set are interchangeable with some of the other JustRite sets such as "Fancy Labels" which is what I used for my card today. My sentiment is from the "Song In My Heart" set dual stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and

Good morning everyone.  Welcome to Day 4 of the JustRite Stampers release.  Today's release is called "Elegant Frames" and comes in cling.  I am really loving cling!!  It stamps so nice. As soon as I saw these frames I immediately thought of a wine bottle label.  I'm not exactly sure why because I am not a wine drinker.  It just seemed to be the perfect size and the sentiment was perfect too.

Good morning.  Welcome to Day 3 of the JustRite Stampers release.  Today JustRite is introducing "Heart To Heart".  This set is a large oval ribbed set with some beautiful border designs and great sentiments.  And don't forget, many of the JustRite stamps are interchangeable which makes your stamps go further.  For my projects I used 2 different sets - Heart To Heart and Friendship Nested

Good morning.  Welcome to day 2 of JustRite Stampers Release.  Today's stamp set is called "Vintage Oval Labels".  This stamp set comes in cling which I am really liking.  It stamps really nice!  This cling set is GORGEOUS!!  I'm not much of a "vintage" type of girl but I really like this set. I was lucky enough to find some pillar candles at The Christmas Tree Shop on clearance for .50 just

Today's release sneak peak is called "My Rainbow".  This set is ribbed and fits on the large oval stamper.  It has some really nice

Good morning everyone.  Today is Friday which means another great challenge over at JustRite Inspiration.  Today's challenge is to use the two-tone effect one stamping direct to rubber.  This means to use 2 different ink colors directly onto your stamp and then apply to paper.  I have done this on a few of my cards in the past by using my Memento Dew Drop ink pads but now it is even easier than

Good morning everyone.  I know that Mother's Day is not until May but I have a card done anyway.  I started out by creating my background paper using a stamp from the Rubber Stamp Tapestry Corner & Heart Doily set.  I've never tried creating my own background paper but I think this came out really nice. The background is stamped with Memento Sweet Plum and Memento Lulu Lavender.  Once I stamped

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!  I hope that everyone has a special someone to celebrate with today.  I made my card today for my husband.  It is really difficult for me to create "men" cards - I like to make frilly girly cards but I think this one came out really nice.  I'm sure my hubby will like it.  I'm going to put it next to his coffee maker so that he will see it first thing in the

Good morning everyone.  Today I decided to create a card following  the great quilt tutorial shown over at Splitcoaststampers.  This was a lot of fun to do.  I have tried the traditional quilting once.  Needless to say I never finished the quilt.  I am an instant gratification kinda girl and quilting does not fit that definition.  I love the look of quilts and appreciate the time and patience

Good morning everyone.  Today I am playing along with the sketch challenge over at CPS.  It is a fairly simple sketch that could be used for any type of card.  I chose to make a Get Well card that would be suitable for either a man or a woman. I really liked this Stampscapes stamp as soon as I saw it.  I stamped it with Memento Rich Cocoa and added a Fiskars Rope Border below.  The sentiment

Good morning everyone.  Are there any football fans out there?  Did you watch the awesome Superbowl game?  I sure did.  I usually watch it all by myself - my husband goes to a Superbowl party with all of his buddies every year.  They have been doing it since high school.  No wives or girlfriends invited!  That's okay with me - I like to have the house all to myself - nice and quiet (until Green

Good morning everyone.  Today I am playing along with the sketch challenge over at JustRite Inspiration.  Here is a look at this great sketch:And here is my take on this sketch:I chose the "Baroque Nested Frames" stamp set, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and Memento Cottage Ivy, and diecut with the JustRite Custom Nested Frame Dies - a perfect match!!  No more trying to "eyeball" the cuts.

Good morning everyone.  I found another really cool challenge site called Die Cuttin' Diva's.  This challenge blog requires use of one of my favorite "toys" - my Cricut Expression.  The challenge that I am doing today was to create a fun winter card.  Since here in Maine we just got over 12" of snow I thought this was a very fitting card to try. I used the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge at size

Good morning everyone.  Today I have a simple card to share.  I used the new cling set by JustRite called "Kindness", stamped with Memento Cottage Ivy (large frame) and Memento Bamboo Leaves (smaller frame).  I handcut the frames but these are compatible with the new Spellbinders Labels 20.  The sentiment is also from the Kindness set. The green card layer was embossed using Cuttlebug Victoria

Good afternoon everyone.  I found a new challenge site while surfing the internet yesterday.  It is called "Jitterbuggin".  The challenge for this week is called  "Let The Sunshine In".  With all the snow and freezing weather that we have been having in Maine I was more than ready to create a bright summery card. The challenge was to create a card using the sketch, something yellow, stripes, and

Good afternoon everyone.  Welcome back to another great JustRite release day.  Today JustRite is introducing "Birthday Celebrations".  This is a 3 1/4" ribbed stamp set with wide borders.  And guess what?  The center part of these wide borders are interchangeable with your 2" round centers, such as " You Inspire Me" as well as your 1 5/8" centers & border sets.  Now the possibilities are ENDLESS!

Good morning everyone.  Here in Maine we are having ANOTHER snowstorm.  School was cancelled today for the second time this week due to snow.  I am sooo ready for summer.  As I am typing this I am thinking of how long it will take me to shovel and snow blow today.  Wednesday it took me over 3 hours!!  Oh well, the pleasures of living in Maine - it could be worse. Okay, now on to today's project.

Good morning everyone.  Today I have a wedding/anniversary card to share.  I'm not even really sure why I decided to make this type of card because I don't have any weddings to attend.  Everyone that I know is either already married or has no intentions of getting married. One of the reasons that I came up with this was because I was trying to think of ways to use the new JustRite Custom Dies.

Good afternoon.  Sorry for the late post.  I did have this scheduled to go live at midnight last night but for some reason it did not work.  Oh well, technology!!

NOTE:  I had this post scheduled to go live on Tuesday but for some reason it "disappeared".  I didn't realize this until I started getting ready to write up my post for tomorrow.  My post scheduled for today also "disappeared".  Good afternoon everyone.  Did all of you survive Christmas??  I did survive but it has been a very hectic few weeks.  I was very blessed during the holidays - it was
