Party Invites!




Hey all...Welcome! Well i've decided to make a few packages of party invites to sell at my upcoming craft sale. I have no clue what paper products will sell. If any of you have some ideas that you have seen or do that might point me in the right direction i would be greatly appreciative. I will be bringing cards of course, as i have so many my hubby has put his foot down that i have to start selling before i can purchase anymore.....buh humbug...what a party pooper. Do any of you feel attached to your cards and hate to see them go????? Am i nuts, a little crazy in the head maybe...or do i have a few loose screws? I want to keep them, well most of them anyway, i love how they turn out and i feel SAD when they go.....:( So i must do what i must do...thankfully i have pictures of them all.. I was thinking of selling them for 3.50 each, is that too much? I see on etsy that is a average price. Anyway enough of that, this image is not colored by me, but a colored image from Lily of the Valley...super cute. I'll be doing others with the rest of the collection. The collection of 6 images was only 1.00, what a steal. Not sure if i should add Time as i would put the date and time under when...


Well I've been long winded enough so have a great day all...and thanks for dropping by.

JUSTWORDZ - Anything Goes!

Justwordz - Anything goes


Welcome all!


Here we are again with another week of fabulous projects from my super talented

Design Team...They have been so helpful and have been spreading the wordz

like fire...Each week it's like Christmas for me, i get to see my stamps used on

these fabulous designs. Have a look see and please leave some love..


Doreen











Anne






Tammy







Kimberly....that's me!





For this project i used a SVG cut that was a freebie from http://svgshop.com/ and i
have to tell you it cut perfect..everything matched to perfection. I then decorated
with flowers i purchased at a yard sale no less. Used JUSTWORDZ everday sentiments
to complete this project...I got to thinking it would make for a awesome
summer wedding favor, just size it smaller, I'll try this weekend and let
you know how it turns out..


As you know I’m offering a special introductory price of $18.99 in Canadian Dollars, to give you the chance to try the stamps for yourself. You’ll get the full 69 stamp set; not your standard 4”x6” sheet. Shipping cost is 4.95 at time of purchase, however I will refund the difference if it costs me less. With each set purchased before July 30, 2011, I will add a bonus gift. You can purchase this fabulous deal here.http://www.justwordz.ca/p/stamps.html

To add a little extra excitement, I’m also doing a GIVEAWAY… I’m going to give a full set of my new stamps to one lucky person who visits JustWordz Stamps between now and August 21st, 2011. If I receive at least 500 comments during this time, I will also add some extra goodies to sweeten the deal.

Requirements?

NO PEEKING!!!


A quick post...i was itching to color tonight. Used promarkers and the image is such a sweet one from simply sassy, and if you can believe it this one is called winking student. I've colored her three times and I seem to cut out the books every time...don't figure. Can be purchased here:

Turning 60 is the pits!!!

JUSTWORDZ blog candy post:






Co-worker's 60th birthday...



Hey hey all, here is a card i created for a co-worker this past week....yes, she has this type of humour....Image from bugagoo and colored with promarkers...Sentiment is from a blogger most of you know...Marlene. Boy oh boy she comes up with the greatest sentiments with tons of humour. Check her out, she gives out many freebies. http://disguisedasagrownup.blogspot.com/2011/07/tipsy-nun.html

I truly wanted to use her other sentiment she made at the same time as this one, but all the ladies were going to sign it and i thought it might have been a little offensive to some..so i went with the Conservative way, of sorts... Everyone loved it and ohhhhhed and ahhhhhhed over how i put this one together... I made a larger card than usual as i wanted there to be room for 15+ signatures and well wishes, so i had to make a envelope for it, which turned out OK....

Stick Pins have Arrived!!!!






JUSTWORDZ blog candy


Official Launch Post!





http://www.justwordz.ca/2011/07/official-celebration-for-justwordz.html

PIN SWAP HAS ARRIVED.....YEAH!!!!






Hey Gang, just a little video showing you all the pins i received in a pin swap i participated in at Crafters Digital Art Center.... Sammi was the coordinator there and boy did she have her hands full. So many joined in the fun and it took some time to swap them all out and get them mailed. I'm so excited to have received them to show them off. Many thanks Sammi and to you ladies out there who were in my group, kudo's to you all as these are fabulous...I'll be visiting a few of you who left your blog name attached in the next few days. I was crazy nervous to send mine along as this was my first swap ever and i was worried that my pins and packageing wouldn't be good enough, but i braved it and i sure hope others liked what i sent....

Hope you enjoyed the little film, i ran out of memory on my camera, so it cuts off abruptly, sorry about that.



Thanks for stopping by and leaving all those fabulous comments, they are much appreciated.

A couple close up pics....


Simply Sassy DT Call.......

Simply Sassy DT call...





I would never have dreamed i would have the nerve to try out

for such a artist. These stamps are simply gorgeous and i love collecting, and

coloring them...Their New Release has the most stunning images...you can


I want them all.(of course)


As you can see by my submissions i like to change things

up some by using either bright colors or a more softer look with

neutral colors. I'm sure to be up against very stiff

competition so please wish me luck.





Simply Sassy: Skater Girl

Colored with promarkers

Simply Sassy: Carnival Balloon


Created for this Call..



Simply Sassy: Bad Hare Day

Created as well for this DT Call, my favorite by far

I do have a few more creations using these fantastic rubber stamps
but I've grown a little in designing...not much but some....i hope,ha ha
so i wanted to showcase these images better than i have
in the past. I hope they meet the mustard...

Thanks so much for dropping by and leaving fantastic comments.

Official Celebration for JUSTWORDZ


OFFICIAL CELEBRATION

for JUSTWORDZ


The time has finally arrived! Couple of weeks ago, I introduced you to the fantastic new JUSTWORDZ Design Team and now we are ready to show you what they can do! Their work amazes me, and I would love for you to visit their personal blogs so you can see for yourself just how fantastically creative they are. We are celebrating the official launch of my new line of stamps, JUSTWORDZ Everyday Sentiments! I know, I know, I’ve been showing them off a little here and there but I hope you’ll get lots more inspiration from my girls. 


Each Friday we’ll display projects with a new theme so please come back to see what they have created to inspire and encourage you. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to them for joining me and keeping my dream alive.  Below you’ll find a sneak peak at their projects for this week. I haven’t seen them JUST yet either, but for this little snippet, so I’m just as excited as you are to have a look.

Kimberly...that's me!


Floral card made with different size cutouts and tied together with ribbon. A simple card but something I've not tried before. I think I'll wet the paper and scrunch up for a more weathered look next time. Of course sentiment by JUSTWORDZ.. ha ha



Used my Cricut for this baby. Cartridge is Tie the knot and i used my new cuttlebug
folder Kassie's brocade i recently won....beautiful design. Super simple
but i was looking for something on the elegant side and i think i pulled it off.
Finished the inside a little to add some dimension.

To kick off this week, I’m offering a special introductory price of $18.99 in Canadian Dollars, to give you the chance to try the stamps for yourself.
