Bonjour!!!

Good Afternoon!!!!  I've always been fascinated with anything French,,,,,,I took 8 years of it in school, and I've been a travel agent and had the opportunity to go many times,,and I am totally in love with Paris!! And I was lucky enough to win the grand prize at Simon Says Stamp this past week and win 50.00 worth of goodies! I scored some Paris themed Just Rite stamps and SEVERAL Memory Box dies,,,,,,love them!

Today the mail came and I just had so much fun playing with stamps and dies!!!!  I knew I wanted to do another entry for the Justrite Friday Challenge, "Charm Me" so off I went to play with my new Justrite stamps, Au Revoir.

Here's what I came up with!

I created a little collage with several of the stamps in the set and added a pop of color with some red ink,,,,,,,,the dies I used for this card are spellbinders postage stamps and Romantic rectangles, and Memory box Lorelai Outline Leaf, Elegant Scrollwork, and Wrought Iron Gate.  I added a heart charm to a sheer black bow, and finished off with two stick pins and a sparkly button.

Here's a close up of the stamps and the bow cluster, including the heart charm,,,,,,

The inks I used to stamp with are ColorBox Cranberry, and Versafine Onyx Black and Vintage Sepia.

Thanks for  looking, and I hope you enjoyed the card!!!!

JustRite challenge!!!!

Good afternoon!!!!! So it's time for another Justrite challenge! This 2 weeks, they want to see CHARMS on your card.  Well, I love charms!!!!! I love them so much, I wouldn't be surprised if you see more than one entry for this challenge LOL!

I'm still on a Christmas card kick, gotta get them finished before the crazy busy time of the year comes rolling around!

I used some MME scraps, Banner Basics Two, Nested Mittens, my Justrite Nested dies, and, of course, my Justrite stamps to create this simple, yet elegant card,,,,,,

I created a simple 4 tailed bow out of glitter ribbon and a few simple stick pins,,,,,,,,The snow flake charm I wanted to use was silver,,,,,,and I thought gold so much prettier for this card, so I just colored the silver snowflake with a gold copic pen, and VOILA! a gold snowflake!!!  A bit of sparkle with some gemstones,,,,,,,,and I really like it!!!!!

Here's a close up of the charm, ribbon and stick pin cluster :)

I'm also entering this into the scrapbook.com challenge "make a christmas card with scraps" and the Our Daily Bread challenge "use a bird on your card"

I hope you enjoyed the card, and thank you so much for looking and for your comments! They are greatly appreciated!!!!!
