Joan's Gardens Card Challenge # 8 Is a JustRite Blog Hop!

OK ladies, my post this morning is going to be a long one so go get that cup of coffee or tea and sit and visit for a spell.

GREAT NEWS!  It is time for the weekly Challenge #8 at Joans Gardens   This week you have the chance to win an AMAZING PRIZE PACKAGE you won't want to miss out on. JustRite Stamps has so generously donated the grand prize for this week's Joan's Garden's 8th Challenge for 2011.

There are only two requirements for this week's challenge:
• Create a card/project using ONLY JustRite stamps (any JustRite stamps and matching dies are acceptable) Do not use any other brand stamps. You may use any card stock, design paper and embellishments you want.
• You must be subscribed to Joan's Gardens blog to win. This allows you to receive all updates about challenges and sales, etc.

You will have until next Thursday morning (March 10) 6:00 AM EST to link your card/project.



My card was created using the tulips from the Breath of Spring Set from JustRite.  I stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Ranger Distress Inks.  I used some DP from my stash and various dies to make a decorative frame and corners for my image.  Pretty simple really; when you use JustRite stamps you don't need a lot to make a beautiful card!  I loved playing with these stamps and look forward to using them a lot in the future.  They really do make me think of Spring!

This prize package includes the following JustRite products:


•acrylic block set – $8.95
•mini binder box - $9.95

Selma and Joan have invited 12 guest designers to join them in a Blog Hop featuring JustRite stamps. You won't want to miss all the inspiration in the beautiful cards created by these talented designers. While visiting each of these blogs, you have a chance to win another great prize from Joan's Gardens.
