Today's new JustRite Friday Challenge #048 is to follow this sketch I created:
Here's my sample I created:
These fun papers are from Basic Grey's new Hopscotch 6x6 pad -- love them! I used a sentiment from JustRite's Friendship Nested Frames that I thought would work well as a Valentine for a dear friend! I stamped it with Ranger Espresso Adirondack dye ink onto dotted Hopscotch paper and then used Spellbinders Labels Fourteen to die cut a frame to pop up over the sentiment. JustRite just made the announcement that they are now carrying a selection of Spellbinders dies that coordinate with many of their stamps! You can find them here and more shapes will be added to their web store as they arrive in their warehouse.
The heart border is Martha Stewart's Doily Hearts Edger punched from chocolate cardstock and topped with more Hopscotch paper. Some pink seam binding and a Maya Road chipboard heart (covered with Hopscotch paper) finish it off.
I also used Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger (photo below) as inspiration, mimicking the swirly paper with the swirls in the sentiment, the scalloped box with my scalloped heart border, and the pink & brown colors, and of course the hearts!
I hope you'll join in with this new JustRite Friday Challenge -- there are some fabulous prizes up for grabs! You can see the prize packages and find more sketch samples from the JustRite design team over at the JustRite Inspiration blog today.
I hope you stay warm over the weekend. I hope to get my February calendar made to share with you, as it's been in the teens here in Texas all week and we've been covered with ice and stuck in the house since Monday night! 6 inches of new snow overnight is keeping the kiddos busy today, so I'm staying in my warm studio and stamping!

This is just beautiful Sharon!! I hope you are staying warm up there. We didn't get too much here in Austin and I think most of it melted and dried away by noon! Looking forward to a little more warmth...and the kiddo back in school! :)
