Life Before Coffee???

So, tell me where the weekend went - wow, it went fast, that I know for sure!

Today's card uses an older set from JustRite Stamps.

I am submitting this card to these challenges:

Joan's Gardens Weekly Card Challenge: Use ONLY JustRite Stamps.

One Crazy Stamper: Sketch Challenge (I also used stamps found in the One Crazy Stamper store)


Supplies Used: Kraft Cardstock, Tim Holtz Cardstock, Versafine Brown Ink, Copic Markers, Starburst Glitter Pen, EK Success Border Punch, Buttons and Twine from my stash.


Hope you coffee lovers out there can relate!

Thanks for stopping by,
Have a great week!

Food for thought:
You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself.

Christmas is "Just Rite" in July...

The challenge at Just Rite Stampers this week is "Christmas in July". I love Just Rite Stamp sets, but I only have three sets, and of those three sets, only the half circle is a Christmas stamp. So...I improvised!

The doily stamp is Hero Arts, and has been heat embossed with white. The red DP is Martha Stewart, and the green DP is DCWV. The white CS is embossed with my dotted swiss Cuttlebug Folder, so I am also entering this at The Cuttlebug Spot, where the challenge is also Christmas in July.

Sigh...back to my kitchen!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For Fun!

For Fun Challenges is a fairly new challenge blog. The designers are Helen, and Kym want you to have fun, relax, and make friends, while being creative! Helen asked me a few weeks ago to be a Guest Designer for today's challenge. I am thrilled to have been asked! Thanks Helen and Kym!

My project this week is a box of cards. I love making boxes of any size and shape, and as you will see, this box actually has an easel card top! Usually, when I do an A-2 box, I make coordinating cards, all using the same cardstock and designer papers. I was in need of several cards, so this time, I made several non-coordinating cards.

My challenge for this week's For Fun Challenges, is to make and post a card of encouragement (Thinking of you, Hello, Miss You, etc.) on the For Fun Challenges blog. After posting your card, I challenge you to mail it to someone that is going through a rough time, someone that needs your encouragement! Have fun!!!!

Thanks again, Helen and Kym!
