JustRite Stamps Mega March Blog Hop- Day 2




I am so honored to have been chosen to participate in this blog hop and I can't thank JustRite Stamps enough for inviting the Dirty Dozen to participate and for letting us use their fabulous stamps!   I made two projects to share with you today and just loved working with their stamps sets.

For my first project I created a 5.5 x 5.5 inch card with DP from MME as my background.  I stamped the Daffodils in the pitcher from the JustRite Stamps Breath of Spring Set. I cut the image panel with a Nestability oval and then also placed behind it a scalloped oval.  Underneath that is also the Fair Isle Pendant die that I popped up on top of a free hand cut base for it out of a contrasting gray color. 

I colored the image in with Copic Markers and also added airbrushing to the image panel. To make the borders I airbrushed, I simply cut out a smaller oval to place in the center and then sprayed only the outer edge of the oval without spraying over the image.

For dimension I added pop dots to the image panel and to the Pendant layer as well.  I added a large cream satin ribbon that I scored at the dollar store in my area and added Studio 18 rhinestones and some machine stitching to add the finishing touches.

The last project I have to share with you today is a quick little gift idea for a loved one.  I couldn't pass up using this sentiment from the JustRite Loving Thoughts stamp set.  (Did you notice that the name of my blog is My Bucket Overfloweth?)  It was super quick and easy to add some lace and ribbon to a small bucket filled with Hershey kisses and pair it with a card decorated in coordinating Pink Paislee DP and matching ribbon.  I stamped the sentiment and the scalloped border from the Merry Little Christmas set in Real Red ink from SU.  I added a Nestability scalloped circle to fit behind the image panel.  I think it is a really cute way to send some love to others!!

Below are all the details you need to know about the Hop!

30 designers, FIVE shopping sprees each day.  No one knows where the prizes will be!  Each day of the hop JustRite will have five Mystery Blog Candy Prizes hidden along the hop with a total retail value of  $600.  JustRite will randomly select five mystery blogs each day of the hop and randomly allocate each of the shopping sprees.  For your chance to win, simply leave a little love (a comment) on each designer’s blog including the JustRite blog.  The more designers you leave comments with, the better your chances of winning.  Each day’s comments will remain open for three days.  A winner from each of the mystery blogs’ comments will be randomly chosen using Random.org.  Consult the listing of designers at the JustRite blog each day (each day’s designers will be different) and start out on your way!  Beginning Friday, March 26, summaries of all the winners will be posted on the JustRite blog.  Good luck to everyone and enjoy all the JustRite eye candy along the hop! 

Today during the JustRite Mega March Blog Hop (Day Two) JustRite and its sponsors will be giving away the following five prizes:

· $200 JustRite Shopping Spree
· $100 Spellbinders Shopping Spree
· $100 Stamp Simply Ribbon Store Spree, and
· Two additional $100 JustRite Shopping Sprees!

Blog comments for Day Two will be open until Friday at 6pm EST.  On Saturday, JustRite will announce on their blog which five blogs have the mystery candy for Day Two.  You will need to go to the JustRite blog to determine where you need to go to find out if you are one of the five lucky winners.

It always gives me encouragement and ideas. If I have to, I’ll do a quick draft to show what I’m looking for. If you really have to, I will go the extra mile and design myself. But part of my job is to teach, to inspire, to put my team on track. It is always a challenge to help design work through work without inspiration, but you have to do. Fortunately for me, that does not happen very often.

I know that problem well! I really need to go through and re-organize my tags and categories on a few blogs I operate. I am going to try and limit my categories to about 10 areas, using tags to help further group my articles.
