JustRite Mom

Just a quick card before I run off to play volleyball. What fun...I'll take some pics of Beth serving it up for Team Mom!

**Stampin Stuff** Card base is brown Bazzil Bling paper. The mustard layer is textured DCWV paper. The jumbo flower is a Cuttlebug folder and I sanded the paper to show the white core and make the flower pop.

The center of the flower was monogramed with my JustRite Monogram Stamp using the Damask border. I loaded the ink pad up with SU Chocolate Chip ink. I punched it with my two SU circle punches.

The striped pattern paper is from a pack of DCWV. The tag was made with a Cuttlebug die and attached with some hardware and May Arts sheer brown polka dot ribbon.

My Simple Pleasure

I can't wait for flip flop season to get here! I spend my days in heels and my feet yearn for kooshy flip flops. Really, I have over 10 pairs of flip flops in my closet just waiting for warmer weather. I am not calling for summer...I just want Spring to hurry up and get here.

**Stampin Stuff** The only thing stamped on this card is the A Muse sentiment. The pattern paper is from SU along with the Blush Blossom card base. The flip flopped feet are from a Cuttlebug die and I am not sure if you can see it but there is a tiny rhinestone on the strap of the flip flop.

**Prayers** Thanks to all of you that have left a comment or sent me an email about Jen's mom. I talked with Jen this morning and there was nothing new to report. I am sure she will have something to tell me tomorrow morning. Please keep her family in your prayers.

Challenge From Trish

Hey, I just learned how to put a poll up on my blog. After reading about this card make sure you scroll up to vote. Just for the fun of it.

For those of you just joining me, I hosted a
Spring Fever Challenge and on the last day I allowed the particpants to challenge me. Very fun.

This first one is from Trish D and she was sure to make it difficult. I have to make an odd card that includes 7 papers, 5 embellishments, 3 stamps and 1 ink color. The hardest rule...NO RIBBON! That was the part that killed me because I have ribbon on just about every single card I make.

**Check My Work**

1. Odd card...hmmm...this is an odd 5x5 shape.
2. For the 7 papers I used 1 barely banana as the base + 1 wild wasabi for the mat + 5 different pattern papers = 7 papers used.
3. For the 5 embellishments I used a felt word (celebrate), 3 brads, and an embellished tag with the number 8
4. For the three stamps I used the words Happy, Birthday, Friend from three different stamp sets
5. For the ink I used wild wasabi
6. And finally...you do not see any ribbon on this card...and I like it.

Thanks for playing Trish and thanks for the challenge. Now I challenge all of you to make Trish's challenge card and post a link here for all to see.

See you on the blog!
