JustRite Shabby

THIS IS MY FIFTH POST OF THE DAY. Be sure to scroll down to see my Fluttery By Wednesday card.

For those of you looking for my Chirper Challenge post, I’ll be back later tonight with it. Sorry, I forgot to do it. :-(

Can you believe it! I’m back to making more than DT cards and able to enter a few challenges. The last couple of weeks I didn’t even have time to see if my DT cards met any other challenges. I {heart} doing challenges.

When I saw the Card Positioning System challenge this week I knew I would be taking part. In my Flutterby post earlier today, I talked about JustRite Stampers. They are sponsoring the CPS challenge this week and they have a huge prize. I know I’ll be competing against everyone for this but I WANT IT!!!

7-25CPS

Anyway, the sketch was simple but I changed it up a little to fit my needs. I flipped it upside down and added the lace trim.

Just Right Shabby

I went with the shabby chic look. I only have two sets of JustRite Stampers that I got at Archivers and I really need some more. You’ll see the other set when I show you (probably tomorrow) the thank you gift for my nieces wedding.

Anyway, the really cool thing about Just Right Stampers is that you can make them into just about anything you want. The outside border and the inside sentiment are different “inserts”. I have 3 or 4 borders and three sentiments. I also have monogram initials as well as damask borders for the monogram. You can also buy several sizes of letters that you can spell out to make a border or even on the inside. You can really make them personal. I have a big wish list on their store website. No, I don’t work for them and I’m not on their design them, I just love the concept of their stamps.

Ok, after that commercial break, I’ll tell you about my card. The DP is from the DCWV Old World stack and the lace is from my Mother’s crafty stash. She keeps giving me things that are so much fun to use. This lace is probably over 30 years old. I don’t remember it being on one of my dresses but it was probably on one of my sisters’. It should be a really simple card but, because I don’t own a distresser tool thingy, I did it all with the side of scissors and my craft knife. I even got a little cut on my finger. Don’t be sad for me; I didn’t even feel it until I saw the blood! I hand pleated the lace using my tape runner and my fingers. They’re a little sticky now!. That’s about it!!!

Blessings,
