Just Rite #047 Love is in the Air

This is a short post since I want to make the deadline for this challenge going on over at Just Rite this week . I don't own a lot of the Just Rite stamps but the few I do have I use a lot especially for Wedding and Anniversary cards. This one I made for a friend that's going to a wedding in Feb. so I thought a little red would be appropriate since it's a month for lovers. Used spellbinders circles ,ovals and heart dies added some bling to complete the card.
Entering this card also in challenge over at Sugar creek Hollow --black & white with a splash of color.

Joans Gardens #3 Challenge

Joan over at Joans Gardens is challenging us this week to
1. Make a box
2. A flourish
3. A butterfly
4. A flower.
I love doing those recipe challenges . Since I can still only use one hand I decided to go through some boxes I had cut out but not put together. This one I had planned on making for 6x6 cards so it just needed to be decorated. I used Tim Holtz's alteration dies elegant flourishes,tattered leaves as well as spellbinders blossoms and MS leaf punch.DP is from Crate Paper Avenue collection.

Sugar creek Hollow :splash of color

Good morning hope everyone is having a great weekend. The weather is sure great for traveling. I came across some images that I had stamped a long time ago while cleaning out my craft room last week so since I can't stamp for a few weeks it doesn't mean I can't make cards LOL. Here's one I put together for a couple of challenges this week.

The sentiment I stanmped and embossed on Vellum since I didn't want to cover up the pretty paper . Very happy with how this turned out.

It's been snowing here in NS for most of the day so I've spent most of my afternoon in my craft room . Since the challenge over at StudioL3 is due tomorrow I need to get this one done today .

Hearts are cut with the spellbinders heart dies . Bird and rosette are with TH's alterations dies and the ticket was stamped with TH's Odds&Ends stamp.DP from Graphic45. Added an oval gem in the Love for bling.
