Card of the Week & Fab 5!


Sometimes a girl needs a little time to do girly things and today is that day for me. Kev is spending the day with our girls and I am heading off for a day of pampering and fun! First on the list is a facial at a gorgeous spa, then lunch at one of my fav restaurants that serves the best salad eva! After that it is off to the Junior League of Denver Holiday Shopping extravaganza. I think the only thing that may be able to top this day is if I get some crafting in later - eeek that may be wishful thinking :)

The gallery is certainly filled with wonderful items that require no wishful thinking. After seeing all your cards I could seriously churn out a bunch of Holiday cards, but that would mean giving up a facial, lunch and shopping..mmmm You guys know how to put me between a rock and a hard place HA! Seriously though - thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us week after week! We {heart} you all.

Can we all just give a 'whoot-whoot' to our awesome sponsor: JustRite Stamps. We love their stamps and we are so excited to announce that the winner of the $100 Gift Certificate to JustRite Stamps is:

Tammy




We were blown away at all the yummy details on this card and we loved how this is both a tag & a card - sooo clever Tammy. You guys are going to LOVE Tammy's blog too. Om-goodness take a look at all the awesome inspiration here:


Tammy please email me your details - we will put you in contact with JustRite to claim your prize. Congrats ;

Fab 5!


*News Flash*
Tomorrow Laura announces the details of our Design Team call!

Thanks for a great week
Hugs
Kazan & your Gorgeous DT

Kazan's Sketch 37



Kazan used the JustRite Christmas Stamp Ensemble on her card

I know it is only mid October however it is certainly not to late to get super Holiday ideas for our December cards and gifties. Like many of you, I am thinking of gift ideas for teachers, friends, coworkers and family. So many people enjoy receiving handmade goodies and that makes giving them even more fun. I dressed up this chocolate box with some gorgeous basic grey paper and I used the ever popular Christmas Stamp Ensemble from JustRite Stamps who are sponsoring the sketch this week.

Following are the Design's team take on the sketch using an assortment of stamps from JustRite:

This week Cheryl brings us this amazing bonus sketch and card. I cannot wait to give this one a go because it has certainly got my creative juices flowing. Cheryl has an amazing style, admired by so many and we are so pleased to have her share her amazing talent as a member of our team.

Card of the Week Sponsor
JustRite Stamps


Check out hundreds of project ideas along with complete instructions in their

gallery and on their blog!


The Perfect “Design –it Yourself” stamping system. JustRite’s® unique wood stampers with interlocking ribbed grid surface allow you to design your own stamps choosing from a selection of interchangeable fonts, borders and centers. Each stamper securely locks into place in the grid system and ensures precision stamping. Fonts and geometric borders always line up perfectly! This unique design allows for great versatility. Expand your collection of stamping phrases by simply adding one of our fonts to your collection.

To assemble your stamping image...

1 Select a border for stamping. Then, simply snap your border into place by holding it on the mount with one fi nger as your other finger pushes the border into the border groove.

2 Next choose the center you want to coordinate with your border and snap into place. Simply start at the bottom of the grid and gently snap the rib into the groove, working your

way to the top by moving your fingers up the image.

3 Now you are ready to stamp.

4 To customize your image try using the coordinating fonts to add your own sentiments or

monograms. The design possibilities are endless.


This week JustRite Stamps is giving away a $100 Gift Certificate to the winner of Card of the Week!
