Just Rite Preserves-Apple Sauce

This is my first time using Just Rite stamps! When I saw the preserves set I knew I had to have it to dress up my canning jars to give as gifts. This is a jar of apple sauce from last fall, I used the new Reminisce patterned paper with some Bazzil kraft paper. I really had fun putting this together and can't wait to do my salsa, tomatoes and jams. Im still trying to figure out what to put on the tiny label of the jar image.

TPE Challenge #28 - Summer

This week's challenge at The Pink Elephant is a summer theme. I've been doing some scrapbooking lately so I have a layout and a card to share today. I used my cuttlebug to make the bubbles on the core'dinations paper and to cut the title. My family spends lots of time playing on the river at my parents' house when we get together in the summertime.

And for my card I made a cute watermelon.

TPE Challenge #26

This week's challenge at The Pink Elephant is a recipe challenge and the recipe we had to use is 3 brads, a flower and one patterned paper. I used my new sizzix bird die for my card this week, the bird was cut out of coredinations cardstock, embossed with my cuttlebug textile folder and sanded down. I struggled on placement of three brads for my card then decided to use them all for the center of my flower.

Be sure to head on over and check out the other design team's cards this week and to link your card if you decide to play along this week.
