JustRite and Inchie Arts!

Good morning to you all! I am glad today is Friday! I get to dress up like Simon today from Alvin and the Chipmunks. The students absolutely love when the teachers dress up! OF course let me tell you.....it is hard to have much authority when one is dressed as a chipmunk! LOL!

Every Friday JustRite has a challenge and this week the challenge is two fold. We were to use this sketch AND use an Inchie square. These squares are wonderful at giving dimension to a card! Scroll down for more info about Inchie Squares. : )
Here is my take on the sketch. Apparently, I have a "thing" for mittens these days! I seem to gravitate to them! I added faux stitching to my Inchie Square to help "ground" my mittens. The mittens are from the new CLING set called Sparky and Friends!

Here is some info about Inchie Squares!

Inchie Arts offers three different sizes of the highest quality artist grade matteboard squares: 1” (Inchie), 1-1/2” (Inchie +) and 2” (Twinchie). All of their products are fade resistant, acid free, lignin free and solid core color through and through. The material is designed to receive whatever art medium (wet or dry) you use in your coloring and embellishments - from stamping to watercolors, chalks, inks, pens, markers, stains and more. They are available in black, dark gray, light gray, wheat, dark cream, ivory and white; as individual packages or assortment packs

Be sure to visit the JustRite blog for the other DT gals' projects! They are all fabulous!

Have a great weekend and a fabulous Halloween!

Inchies!

I have to admit....I am a sucker for anything small! Maybe that's why I work with little people! (I am a teacher!) So I had to buy all the small stamps and chipboard to make these tiny little things! Both stamps are Lockhart stamps that I purchased from Ellen Hutson's store. The word Spring was stamped with Karen Foster's snap stamps. The background paper was "Cuttlebugged" with the new Swiss Dots folder.

Both images were colored in using Copics. I did use Crystal Effects for the "froth." I also used pins as teeny tiny brads. The picture makes them look so big......but of course they are so little IRL!

I have some exciting news to share......first off....I am becoming a permanent member of Treehouse Stamps DT! Ashley and Kristin are the sweetest ladies! They are so fun to work with! Thanks ladies!

Secondly.....I am FINALLY getting published!!! One of my creations got picked up by Cardtrends for their August/Sept. issue. I know many of you have been pubbed before, but I was a publishing Virgin! LOL! So needless to say, I am pretty excited!

And last but not least.....One of the SCS ladies just got a blog of her own. Some of you may know her from her SCS name....Stamps4Sanity. Her name is Joanne. She is super talented and so sweet! She was my SU! demonstrator for a very long time and then we became friends. So maybe, you could pay her a visit to her blog, My Adventures in Cardmaking, and say hi!

Hope everyone is having a great day!!!
