JustRite Day 2 Mega March blog hop


Hi everyone and welcome to DAY 2 of the JustRite Stampers MEGA MARCH BLOG HOP!

I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of this amazing blog hop! I have a couple projects to share. All my supplies are from Sharon's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

First up, I made a card using the gorgeous image from the JustRite Breath of Spring set. I colored and cut out the image and popped it up inside the circle frame image from the My Garden set. I love using circle Nestabilities to create frames with these circle borders. I colored it with copic markers and popped it up on dimensions.

The lovely paper is from the Kaiser Craft, Lilac Avenue pad -such amazing purple, yellow and green colors in this line! I went with pops of yellow throughout the card, and the Yellow Twill ribbon was the final touch!

My card uses my friend Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch. Here is a detail picture.

These next two cards use the JustRite Stampers Brayton Font and the From the Desk Of set. I made a couple masculine monogram cards for my dad. He is a very manly man, so I kept things VERY minimal.Seriously, I just HAD to make these when I saw the amazing papers in the Webster's Pages, A Proper Gentlemen pad. WHOA, these papers are so masculine and regal. Aren't they amazing? I show another piece in the pack for the card photos.

I used a small piece of the Brown Twill ribbon and a couple brads at the bottom. The circles were made from Circle Nestabilities .

Here are the blog hop details:

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:
