Stamper's Dream - JustRite week - Day 3!!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!!!

Welcome to Day 3 of the Stamper's Dream JustRite week!!! If you haven't had a chance to follow along....I have a schedule listed on the bottom of this post!!! But first I would like to show you my idea for today!!!

As I was browsing the SCS site the other day I came across this awesome Card Purse Tutorial and I knew this was the perfect idea for my JustRite project!!!

Here is my purse......









































I used the new Decorative 2" Round Wide Frames Borders on the purse and on the individual cards. For the sentiments I used the new Just a Note - 1 5/8" Borders & Centers.

Here are this weeks Stamper's Dream Team schedule:

Monday: Michelle, Denise, Laurie

Wednesday: Michelle, Denise and me
Thursday: Michelle, Laurie and me

My idea for today's Blog Hop came from three sources!!! First this weeks ssnotime115 - Mass Production, the second one is from this week JUGS9 - Template Challenge and the third one is from the CAS43 - Autumn Make Over. I used this card as my inspiration.

The giftbox is from this *Captured Card Case* template.

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

It's time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge - FTTC44 - wahoooo!!! Are you ready to get your stampin' stuff out???

Maki is our challenge host today and she is challenging us to a Clean & Simple *CAS*- style card/project!!! Love this idea.....it's easy...and fast to make lots and lots of holiday cards!!! Hope you have time to play along???

I actually combined the FTTC44 with the CAS43 - Autumn Make Over Challenge. I took this sweet little card as my inspiration and turned it into this.......



















I started out by scoring my card base. Next I inked up the the gorgeous Winter Bouquet Set - couldn't help myself but to use it again :) !!! The sentiment is from the Christmas Wreath Set.

I colored the bouquet with these Copic Markers - Falling Leaves, Holly and Lilac Collection - available at the Flourishes Store.

Next I bedazzled the bouquet....actually I think I used a little bit too much Glitter - oooops!!! Sorry my photos came out a bit blurry...I think my camera was blinded by all the sparkle :) - he,he,he!!!

Please don't forget to stop by Betty, Cindy, Dee, Kimberly and Maki's Blog for their take on the Challenge!!!

Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by today!!!

Happy Monday everyone!!!

Here are a few more photos from our Disney trip and my new car!!! I really love my new car...it rides soooo smooth!!! Please click on the photos to see them close up!!!


Miriam's best time was having lunch at the Disney Castle!!! As we entered we took family photos with Cinderella. It's part of the dining package....did I mention this was the most expensive luncheon I ever had - LOL???? But it was fun and seeing Mimi's eyes sparkle...was priceless!!!

We had to wait a few minutes before we were seated...so we asked the girls to pose for us :)

As we were dining...the Princesses came around, gave autographs and took pictures with the families...Miriam loved it!!! Here is Mimi with Belle and Aurora!!!

This is at Island of Adventure....the JAW's Ride - soooo fun!!! It scared the heck out of our little Miriam...she jumped right into Jerry's lap - he,he,he!!! She did enjoy taking the photo with her sister though!!!

This was at Universal Studios...the Simpson ride...awesome!!! It's an animated fast speed ride and our poor Rebecca was a bit dizzy afterwards - LOL!!!

Hope you enjoyed the photos?!?

Have a fun day and I hope to see you again tomorrow....it's time for the Timeless Tuesday Challenge as well as the Our Daily Bread Designs Release Blog Hop!!! Plus today is the kick off for the Stamper's Dream Team to show you some JustRite Projects!!! You don't want to miss it!!!

Hugs ~S~

Disney Photos!!!

Happy Sunday everyone!!!

As promised here are some vacation photo's from the *Ledlow Gang*!!! Starting off with a photo of my sweet hubby Jerry and me!!!

My oldest daughter Sarah was so gracious to take this photo.....trust me this doesn't happen very often - LOL!!!! Jerry and I consider ourselves very lucky - LOL!!!

Please click on the photos to see them close up.....!!!

I was hoping it would not be as crowded....but I was only wishful thinking.....it was packed!!! I can't believe no one has stepped in front of our picture taking....?!?

Here is a photo of my sweet Rebecca who still enjoys getting her face painted!!!

This is the first year neither one of our girls has fallen asleep before or during the parade!!! Not because the parade is boring....he,he,he....but usually one of them would fall asleep because they are soooooooo excausted!!!

If you have never been to Disney...let me tell you...it's truly magical and we enjoy it everytime!!! Unfortunately it cost you an arm and a leg....but it's worth every penny!!! But for right now I need at least a 5 year break before I even think about going again - LOL!!!! I have a few more photos to show you....so stay tuned!!!

Have a great day!!! Hugs ~S~

IC208,OCC Challenge - it's a Sketch!!!

Howdy friends!!! We are back!!!

We had a wonderful time at Disney and we managed to squeeze in *Universal Studios* and *Island of Adventure*!!! Let me just say....my feet are still killing me from all the walking!!!

Magic Kingdom was awesome, but a bit crowded so was Animal Kingdom!!! We were so lucky to have lunch with all the *Princesses* at the castle - without reservation - and Miriam said this was her BEST birthday e-v-e-r !!! Mission accomplished - LOL!!!

Silly me...as we were rushing out the door last week I forgot my camera and ended up buying some disposable cameras :( . I have them developed and share some photos with you tomorrow!!!

Can you believe it.....it is already the end of November and tomorrow is the 1st Advent!?! How did this happen???I know it was a busy month for me... I already created some new cards for this upcoming week and I can't wait to show them off...hope you'll stop by again???

Starting off with today's OCC Challenge......it's Jennifer's last week hosting and she is challenging us to this fun Sketch!!!


I combined this OCC Challenge with today's IC208 - Oliebollen. What a fun little shop....and after looking thru all the fun stuff I got stuck on this super duper cute ornament garland...it fits the Sketch perfectly!!!

It's a pretty straight forward Sketch and here is my take on it.......



















I used the beautiful Banner of Joy Set from Penny Black!!! (Unfortunately this Set has sold out at the Stamper's Dream Store!!!) Check out some some other cards I've made with this Set right HERE!!!!

For the the sentiment I used the JustRite Times Roman Upper and Lower Case Font Set.

Wonder where the red comes in....for some funny reason I'm stuck on using *red* these days...I guess it's my favorite color for the holiday season :) !?!? I made this a monochromatic look using Red Riding Hood and Vintage Cream!!! The size of my card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2".

Hope you like it??? Please stop by the OCC Blog for all the Samples from the Team!!!

Have a great remaining weekend!!!

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday - FTTC43!!!

Happy day everyone!!!

I'm still enjoying my family time in Orlando....we'll be heading home tomorrow!!!

I managed to stamp ahead for today's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge - FTTC43!!! This is a special FTTC for me, because my sweet blogging friend Carol aka *Our Little Inspiration* is our Guest Stamper today - wahooooo!!!

Carol has challenged us to create a *Thank You* Christmas card.....I guess it's only proper to say *thank you* after you have received all your wonderful holiday gifts - LOL!!! Hope you get lots of them too :) ?!?

Here is my take on the Challenge.......



















I used the gorgeous new Winter Bouquet Set.

The bouquet was inked in Memento Black and colored with Copic Markers from the Holly, Dahlia and Sunflower Collection.

I used FTTC42 Sketch from last week...and made it a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" size. At last I bedazzled the image with Glitter and added the Satin Ribbon.

Hope you like it?!?

Make sure to check out Betty, Cindy, Dee, Makiko and our Guest Designer Carol.
