Justrite Stamps Color Challenge!!!!

Good Evening,,,,,,,,

Sorry I haven't posted this week,,,,,,,,I made a few cards, but somehow lost my card reader,,,,,of course LOL.  So today, I gave up looking for it and just bought a new one,,,,,,,wow 8 whole bucks LOL. If I find the first one, it was worth the 8 bucks just for a spare.

Anywho,,,,,,,,,

Today I want to share a card I made for the Justrite Friday Challenge.  This week's challenge is a color challenge,,,,,,,,,,Yellow and greys aren't normally my go to colors,,,,,,,but I really love how this turned out!!!!!!

The lilies are hand made using McGill punches, molding mat, and molding tools,,,,,,,,,,,OH SO EASY to do!  The Stamps are, of course, Justrite Stampers,,,,I just love how the Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page set looks with the flowers and stamps!!!!

Here's a close up,,,,,,,

I hope you enjoyed the card,,,,,,,There's still a couple days to join in the fun over at Justrite Stampers, so run right over and upload your card or project using Justrite Stamps!

Thank you, Thank you!

This is my second post of the day! If you're looking for my PTT post, scroll down one post!

So we had a TON of birthdays in March in our family,,,,,,,three out of the four people living in this house right now, have birthdays in March,,,,,,2 of us on the 9th, and one of us this next Friday, the 23rd.

Birthdays mean presents, and presents mean thank you cards to our relatives who were kind enough to send gifts and money presents! My MIL and mother gave me $$$$$ and so I was able to buy several sets of nesties and my FIRST grand nestie (Labels 23) which I am DYING to get,,,,,,it's taking forever to get here LOL

Anywho, I made up some thank you cards, and I thought I'd just post them all here in one post :)

I had a ton of fun playing with my new spellbinders Romantic Rectangles, and another of my favs Parisian motifs. I also used some of the very first tools I ever bought, some flower punches, that have been sitting neglected in my cupboard to make some of the flowers. I am REALLY happy the way they turned out, after shaping with a ball stylus and glittering!

Here's a close up!

The butterflies are MS, and the leaves are all Spellbinders foliage.

Thanks for looking, and I hope you're having a wonderful week!

Happy Sunday!

So Valentines day is coming up QUICKLY! And I've been working on some Valentines Day cards in addition to my DT work. I've been meaning to blog since FRIDAY, but my computer is on the fritz, I've been using my husband's lappy, and I can't make his computer recognize my card reader. GAAH! (Not to mention, all my favorite challenges AND images are STORED in my computer!)

So, I finally figured this out on the FAMILY computer,,,,,my next goal is to find some of my fav challenges and work on those! LOL, I am so computer illiterate!

So today, I have a Valentines day card made with some old stand by paper,,,,,,yes, that would be MME Lost and Found! Love that stuff! The first thing I did was to punch the edge of my card with a MS punch (I wish she put the name of her punch ON the punch!)  No clue where this sentiment stamp came from, I think it was a dollar bin find at Joanns last year.  I've framed the sentiment with Nesties Postage stamps, Floral doily motifs, and standard squares large, the larger roses are spellbinders spiral blossoms 1. It's brand new, and I LOVE it. It took a bit of time and some staring at Amazing Paper Grace and Becca's roses before I figured out how to best roll them so that I could shape the outer edges, but I finally have roses that I love! Thanks, Becca!

The smaller roses are MFT mini rolled roses,,,,,they're so cute and great for tiny spots!  I tied a triple bow on my peg bow maker (Thanks again, Becca!), a few pearls, some lace and a heart charm, and she's done.

Here's a close up of the roses!

Thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoyed! And while I'm at it, I'm going to enter this into Sassy Cheryl's show me thursday challenge! I've missed her :(
