Last post as a JustRite DT member - Sea Shell Bay

Hi Everyone,

Today is the last day of the JustRite CHA sneak peeks and the team is showing samples from the absolutely gorgeous stamp set: Sea Shell Bay which coordinates perfectly with Labels Twenty-Two from Spellbinders. 

This is also my last post as a JustRite full time DT member - it was a very hard decision to make - I really do not want to leave, but life has been feeling very full lately. I have enjoyed every minute of being on the team for the last year and feel so fortunate to have met Kellie, Angela, Sharon and Eva who are on the team and I hope one day to meet all the rest of these amazing women - I admire this amazing design team - each person is so supportive, so kind and encouraging and absolutely talented! But, I won't be away forever :) Kellie has  kindly let me do some guest designer spots - so I am happy that I get to work with the team with these gorgeous stamps.

Speaking of stamps and today's Sea Shell Bay stamp set, I created a little set and tried to keep it to the beachy colors - simple white and kraft with some earth elements with the hemp twine that I braided to thread through the eyelets. 

Here is a closer peek at the card, it is matted onto the Labels twenty-two die and then I braided hemp twin through the eyelets and created a little round circle of hemp on the bottom (kept together with some glue dots). used this gorgeous seahorse for the main image on the card - love that it doesn't require much coloring - just different ink colors:

Here is a closer picture of the jar and the sentiment: I filled a little container with some seashells and used the lovely sentiment: "The Sea once it casts its spell, holds one in in its net of Wonder forever" ... so sweet! 

I love how this looks on our shelf - simple and sweet and slightly makes me yearn for some summer sun and walks on the beach :) (although it feels a bit like spring on these warm days of January!)

Card Ingredients:
Paper: Kraft and white cardstock (PTI)
Stamps: Sea Shell Bay from JustRite stamps
Inks: Memento Rich Cocoa, Cantaloupe and Bamboo Leaves
Accessories: container, ribbon from stash, bling, liquid pearls, Labels Twenty-two, hemp twine, wave punch, jumbo eyelets and dimensionals

A huge big hug to all of these amazing women on this DT, I am so sad not be a full time design team member, but so happy I still get to play and guest design with you. Huge hugs and love to dearest Kellie - I honestly don't know how she does it all - she simply amazes me!!!  Please check out all of these beautiful creations from all of these amazing ladies!

Good Morning Everyone!
I am so excited its Friday :) Yipee! Every Friday, at the Christmas Stamping All Year Long Blog, we have a different challenge to help get the holiday mojo lasting through the year, so that its not a mad dash of stressful cardmaking towards the end of the year :) This year, Patty has come up with a wonderful challenge: to create a card that is "out of the box" or basically to create a card that can be of any shape other than the regular A2 card that we all are used to.

I made a circle card using the lovely and versatile stamps from Just Rite Stampers, where you can mix and match your borders and sentiments. I created this stamp set from the Merry Little Christmas Borders & Centers Round 1-5/8" and I love the sentiment: "Joyeux Noel" :)

Card Ingredients:
Paper: Prism cardstock, DP from GCD studios
Stamps: Merry Little Christmas Borders & Centers Round 1-5/8" from Just Rite Stampers
Inks: Memento Tuxedo black and Ladybug Red
Accessories: spellbinders, liquid pearls, MS punch, silk ribbon, bling from Want2Scrap

I had so much fun making this festive card - although I have to say that as the snow starts to melt and the weather starts to get warmer, I might have to put on some holiday music as I make my Friday holiday cards :) And on that note, I leave you with the song: "Dashing thru the snow, on a one horse open sleigh......."

Check out the lovely creations that the wonderful DT has created for this Shape Challenge!
Happy Friday and thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs!

A Just Rite Peek and a Pirate Cupcakes :)))

Good Morning Everyone!!

What a busy time it is right now!!! Do you find yourself running errands and then forgetting what you were supposed to do even though you have a list? lol! I think that's a sign of things being too busy! Well, I am so excited today to share 2 things with you - a card and peek!

The first one is a birthday card that I created for one of my son's best friends - who turned 5 a few days ago and had a pirate themed birthday! Here is a cute little cupcake card using the cutest little cupcake pirate I know! I LOVE this sketch #91 from Taylor (I think I have made three or four cards from it - LOVE it!!!) The cupcake is from Trick or Sweet I and the sentiment is from For the Love of Cupcakes from Taylored Expressions:

Card Ingredients:

Paper: Halloween paper stash and other cardstock from stash

Ink: Navy blue Aquamarine

Stamps: Trick or Sweet I and the sentiment is from For the Love of Cupcakes from Taylored Expressions

Accessories: Black glittered ribbon, corner rounder, cuttlebug Swiss dots folder, liquid pearls, circle cutters from Creative Memories and circle punches, blue sakura gel pen and dimensionals (and copics :)

I loved coloring in the little cuppie pirate - totally perfect for a pirate birthday party!!! And the best part was that my son's friend loved it :)))

And guess what - its Day 2 of being a Guest Designer for Just Rite stamps!!! I LOVED making these little "oval" creations" because I think I am "oval challenged :)". I also am vintage challenged - so I challenged myself to create some oval vintaged projects :) Here is a peek of my project - the rest you will find on the Just Rite Blog - you can click HERE to see the rest!

Tomorrow for the Just Rite blog - I am showing a project that involves, socks, snow and butterflies!!! Intrigued? Come on back tomorrow!!! :)

Hope you are all having a fantastic day!!!

Sending ya'll big hugs!

Cinema Saturday #35 - Some Like It Hot

Good Morning Everyone,

Welcome to our 35th Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge - where today, we are featuring the 1959 Oscar winning movie: Some Like it Hot, which has won an Oscar for best costume design and won 10 other nominations. It was voted #1 on the American Film Institute's list of 100 Funniest Movies!! Wow! Number 1! Well, we couldn't wait to feature a number one movie! If you haven't seen this movie - your local library store might have it. And if you can't find it, you can find snippets of the song and movie on Youtube. We hope that you have a chance to see this movie and see these legendary actors shake it up!'

Well, I have to say that I was at a little loss where to start creating a card from this movie! It was a challenge for me to find a starting point - so I started by watching one of my fave scenes - Jack Lemmon disguised as a woman Daphne, dancing the tango with Super Millionaire:L Osgood Fielding the third! It cracked me up how into Daphne (aka Jack lemmon he was) and how in the first part of her tango with him s/he wasn't really into it and kept "leading" him - but by the end - s/he was totally tangoing it up! I just thought his character was hilarious in the movie - especially that s/he Daphne is really into being engaged... ha! Lemmon is hilarious comic actor.

Card Details:
Paper: Stash
Ink: Stazon Black
Stamps: Just Rite (Times font)
Accessories: velvet ribbon stitched to create a ruffle, other ribbons from stash, beads from stash, tacky red tape, flowers from stash (bling and brad too)

This comedic duo just had me cracking up. I love the way they were trying to walk in heels and then wondering if women have "Jello-in their springs" to make them move like that in heels :) The other funny part to me was how Jack (whose female character is Daphne) gets engaged to Osgood Feilding III and when he tells his partner Joe about it here is the exchange between them from Wikipediia:

Joe: [trying to get Jerry to face reality regarding his engagement to Osgood] Jerry, Jerry, will you take my advice? Forget about the whole thing, will ya? Just keep telling yourself: you're a boy, you're a boy.
Jerry: I'm a boy.
Joe: That's the boy.
Jerry: [coming around] I'm a boy. I'm a boy. I wish I were dead. I'm a boy. Boy, oh boy, am I a boy. Now, what am I gonna do about my engagement present?
Joe: What engagement present?
Jerry: Osgood gave me a bracelet.
Joe: [takes it and inspects the stones with Beinstock's glasses] Hey, these are real diamonds!
Jerry: Of course they're real! What do you think? My fiance is a bum?

I made this card using the You're a Star Sketch Challenge over at Paper Craft Planet and created the sentiment: Care to Tango? I loved expressions on Jack Lemmon's face throughout the dance - you can watch clip of the dance on YouTube especially when the switch roses in the mouth.

Hope you have a chance to play along with us this week! For more information and to see what the rest of the crew has been up to - please check out the scoop over at the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge blog!

Thank you so much for coming over for a visit!

See you at the movies

Hugs to All,

Sankari :)
