I am so ready for Spring ( although Mother Nature is not exactly cooperating!! - we wiil be getting at least 6 inches of snow today!) Since it hasn't been Spring outdoors _ I have been working very hard to make it feel like Spring in my Office. I am currently decorating my new office with Spring Flowers and Butterfly Prints. I have been in a Butterfly Mood all month and I can't keep my hands off the Mariposa stack from DCWV which is chocked full of the most gorgeous butterfly papers.

For today's card I paired Tim Coffey's Sunflower Paper with this gorgouse red print from the Mariposa Stack. The butterflies were a design element on a portion of the red print, I simply cut them out and added them as embellishments. The sentiment and border are from the JustRite Original Song in my Heart set - this sentiment sums up exactly how I feel about butterflies!!

JustRite Charmed Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the JustRite Charmed Blog Hop!! Today we are debuting a new die set - JustRite Custom Charm Dies and a coordinating Cling Set -called "Charmed"!!

During today's JustRite blog hop, JustRite is giving away Three Mystery Blog Candy Shopping Sprees --- which simply means along the hop there is hidden 3 shopping sprees --- the designers don't even know if they have the shopping spree! Here's what you will be eligible to win along the blog tour - a $100 JustRite Webstore Shopping Spree, a $75.00 JustRite Shopping Spree and a $50.00 JustRite Shopping Spree. Simple leave a little love on each bloggers post and on Friday Morning we will announce on the JustRite Blog the 3 Designers who have the mystery candy and the winners!! Comments will close at midnight CST on Thursday Evening.

I had so much fun using this new set of stamps and dies and I am sure that I will be using this set over and over. Last week I came across some price tags that had these ball and chains attached to them and I decided they might come in handy for this project - original I had 3 -- but Jack is back from vacation and I suspect he also thought these would be pretty cool in his stash box !! The Joys of Motherhood in a house full of boys right!! So lucky he left me one to play with!!

As I was desigining my card - I kept thinking about how I could use the dies like a charm bracelet -- which of course led to lots of glitter and bling -- which is always so hard to get a good photo of right!!

Aren't these dies SWEET!! Wait till you see all the fun projects the design team created!! All of the charmed elements are deigned to go with all your JustRite 1 5/8" Centers -- for my card I used the celebrate center from Just A Note.

Can you imagine all the fun tags you can make using this set!!

Here's a close up of the card which shows the details a little better!!
