mmmmm....melon berry: JUGS #72

| Published 2.19.2011

Heeeelloooooo JUGSters!!! Happy Saturday!


How about another dose of color therapy? Kathryn is our hostess this week and has a fabulous color combo to stimulate your weather-weary mojo! Some of my fav colors - melon berry, I'm not sure if there is a more perfect color... it is definitely swoon-worthy :)

But before I move on to my card, we've got some BIG news to share from JUGS! There's a brand new addition to the happy JUGS family.... please help me extend the warmest, most amazing welcome to
I am so ecstatic that the SUPER talented, kind-hearted, AMAZING Elise is gonna be a JUGS girl!!!! I'm sure many of you already know why were so effusive about this great gal but if you haven't had the pleasure of "meeting" Elise through her blog, you must stop by for a visit. It'll feel like you've know her your whole life. Really. WELCOME ELISE!!!!


I just love the Friendship Fillers series from PTI. The jar is AWESOME. I colored it with Copics and paired it with the Flutterby friend butterfly. Add some melon berry bitty dot paper, buttons, stitching and done :) I've been making a few "miss you" cards lately. Guess I'm gearing up for something....actually, there are some MAJOR changes happening in our lives and I'm going to share them really soon. Just making sure all the "i"s are dotted and the "t"s are crossed :)
Swing by and say hi to our talented guest designer for February, Lori from Afternoon's Delight. Also take a moment to swing by the blogs of the rest of the always wonderful JUGS DT! Their links are in my sidebar to the right :)

Hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Thanks so much for taking precious time from your day to stop by for a visit!!! I sincerely appreciate it :)

Stopping in really quickly with a card for Papertrey Ink's new Make It Mondays challenge!

This week, we were challenged to use sentiments and make a Go-To Sentiment card. Fun!


I used a combo of ocean tides, aqua mist, and lemon tart. I stamped my various sentiments in aqua mist to create the background. The yellow and ocean tides sentiments are stamped on vellum and stitched to the bottom layer with aqua thread. Finish off with a few lemon tart buttons and Voila!

Have a happy start to the week! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Beautiful Buttons - DeNami Blog Hop

For my CR84FN post, please click HERE :)
For my JUGS post, please click HERE :)

Welcome friends! It's DeNami Blog Hop time!!! 


Let's see what you can do with buttons!!! I'm looking forward to all the fun, inspiring projects! So let's get hopping :)


Welcome to your first stop on the Hop (wow, now I'm rhyming LOL!).  Up first, I've got a pretty CAS card that uses loads of glorious buttons!


I stamped one side with the medium polka dots background from DeNami and clear embossed. Then I added a cascade of buttons in various shades of pink and white/cream. The sentiment is DeNami's small happy birthday stamp, which is heat embossed in white. This card also uses colors from the latest ColourQ challenge :)

I wanted to make a fun card using DeNami's fish bowl and CUTE little goldfish from the sea friends stamp set. Also used on this card are the treasure chest and bubbles from the under the sea stamp set and the sentiment stamp HERE.  I colored the fish bowl and items within with my Copic markers *happy sigh*.


The variably sized buttons are poking out from under the fish bowl. For the treasure in the chest, I used gold microbeads. Here's a close up to see them better...


Your next stop is my fellow DeNami DT member, the lovely and talented, Wendy Elliot. Don't forget, if at any time you want to see a complete list of blog hop participants or loose track of the hop order, you can always jump back to the DeNami Blog :)

Don't forget, there are prizes for participants in the blog hop! THREE lucky people will win a $20 gift certificate to DeNami Design; ONE gift certificate for a random participant (DT members not eligible) and TWO gift certificates to TWO people who comment along the hop!!!!!

Remember the Extra Challenge too - We know that many people love buttons, so we thought we'd bring an additional opportunity for you to post your beautiful button creations (outside of your blog hop project). We will have a link widget on the blog hop post where you can upload additional button creation(s). We'll choose one winner to be guaranteed a spot in the next blog hop AND they'll get to choose a few stamps of their choice! Great, right?!

Happy hopping Bleeps!!!! 

TTFN,
