JustRite Succulent Background Stamp - April Release


Hi everyone, today I'm showing a card I've made with another of the new JustRite Papercraft background stamps, part of April's release.  This one is called, Succulent Background.

I heat embossed the image in gold and then chose the one large flower at the bottom to color with some vibrant pink Copic shades.  The sentiment from Extra Grand Sentiments was also heat embossed in gold on a strip of black paper.  I finished my card with a few scattered clear sequins.  

Thanks for visiting, make sure to visit JustRite Papercraft to see all the new products they have in stock!

Newton's Nook Designs - Newton Dreams of Paris


Hi everyone!  Happy Friday!  What a great week it's been here.  My 17 year old son just finished his Jr. year of high school baseball last night.  It was a wonderful season, and even though they didn't go far in the championships, I enjoyed every minute, watching him and his team play!

So, onto this super adorable Newton's Nook Designs project I'm showing you today.  I used the set, "Newton Dreams of Paris".  I just love this kitty floating up over Paris in his hot air balloon!  The little stitched flag is from NND Sweet Summer, in case you were wondering :)  Everything was copic colored and the background was created using a stencil by Stamplorations, Bubble Dance and distress ink, Stormy Sky.  The pierced die frame is by Sizzix, Dotted Rectangles.


Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you'll leave a comment letting me know what you think!


I've entered the following challenges with my project:

Brother ScanNCut2 Dust Covers



Hi everyone, quick post here to let you know my mom has started a little business for herself in her retirement.  She designed a dust cover pattern for my Brother ScanNCut2 and wow did I love it!  Then a few friends wanted one and now she's sewing up a storm!  

She buys quality fabric and I love all the patterns she's chosen so far.  If you are interested in purchasing, I'm linking my RutabagaPie Designs FB here so you can check them all out.  Also including photos here of most of the fabric choices!

Newton's Nook Designs April Release


Hi everyone, it's day 4, the final day of Newton's Nook Designs April release.  Tomorrow, all these goodies you've seen on the Design Team's blogs will be in the Newton's Nook Designs online store!  I have thoroughly enjoyed this week and all the inspiration! I hope you have too!  

Last but not least, we have this super adorable stamp and die set "Newton's Birdbath".  How fun is this with Newton hanging off the side of this bath with his birdie friends coming in for a drink?  I kept this card pretty simple, I had a strip of the paper I used on yesterday's card sitting there and thought..wow, that looks cute behind Newton too!  I Copic colored the image and cut it out with the coordinating die.  Lastly I popped Newton up with foam tape and stamped the fun sentiment up in the corner!

Herb Garden Card


Hello!  Coming to you today with a card I made using a set that was gifted to me by my best card making buddy, my cousin Linda.  Even though she and I live states apart..we still manage to get together 1 or 2 times per year to make cards.  We have fun gifting crafty stuff back and forth and this time, I was on the receiving end!

Recently she told me she'd ordered some of these Crafters Companion Sheena Perfect Partners Home Life Stamps for me and to expect them in the mail.  How fortunate I am to have a cousin like that! 

This Herb Garden set was 1 of 4 she sent, and the first one that I played around with.  Who can resist clay pots?  In fact, I love this size pot so much, I plan to use it with floral sets I have as well.  I did a little masking to layer the pots, then stamped the herbs in them.  Everything was Copic colored and then I did a little white splatter on the pots, I think it looks pretty neat, how about you?


Well, that's it for now, thanks for stopping by, let me know what you think of my latest creation!
