Yes, It Really Is A Bra!

About 2 weeks ago Stacey asked me to alter a bra for Breast Cancer Awareness for a store in New Mexico. Last week Stacey came in the office and flung this mega pink bra my way, being the person I am and all eyes on me I said "No I am Not Going To Model This Bra" and proceeded to explain this bra was being altered for Breast Cancer Awareness. So with that being said.......I took out my Spellbinders(TM)dies S4-192 and went to work. All of the beading has been done by hand as well as all of the stitching. I can't think of a better cause to be a part of and I truly enjoyed creating this altered bra. See girls...you too can make custom designed bras using your Spellbinders(TM) dies. Hugs Terre

JustRite Christmas Blog Hop

Thank you for joining me for the J ustRite Christmas Blog! Today I will be sharing a wonderful Christmas Stamp set from JustRite, JB08780 A Merry Little Christmas Set.



My first design is a Christmas ornament made with chipboard and decorative paper from Cosmo Cricket. Using the JustRite stamp "Merry Christmas to You" I stamped the image for the center of my ornament. I cut my stamped image and center of the ornament out using the S4-116 Standard Circles Small die from Spellbinders. Using a everyday cereal bowl I traced the outer edge of my ornament; covered all chipboard pieces with decorative paper; sand the edges to give it a smooth finished edge. Using chestnut roan ink distress the finished edges to give it that old world appeal. To attach the center image to the ornament use a ribbon pull and adhere to the inside of the back of the ornament. Take satin ribbon to make the ornament hanger and adhere to the inside of the back of the ornament. Using foam tape, adhere the from and back of the oranemtn together, make a satin bow for the front of the ornament and embellish with button.





My second design is a Christmas card with a matching envelop. I used the JustRite stamp "Make it Merry & Bright" and S4-125 Classic Scalloped Circles Small, S4-116 Standard Circles Small dies from Spellbinders.

Best Wishes Card

I created this elegant wedding card using JustRite stamps JB-08040 Big Occasions Centers & Borders go check out their website for more great stamps at www.JustRiteStampers.com and Spellbinders S4-116 Standard Circles Small and S5-019 Labels Eight dies. Paper used was from K & Comapny, ribbon from Offray.

A Frame I Did For Spellbinders

Hello Everyone,

I can't believe I have already been on the Spellbinders Design Team for 2 months, it just seems like yesterday I got to meet my sister designers in person at the Design Retreat.

Here is a frame I did using S4-193 Peony and S4-157 Sunflower Set One (just a couple of the many dies I love that Spellbinder created). The beautiful paper that was used on the frame is from My Minds Eye, the ink used to distress the edges is Chestnut Roan from ColorBox and the adhesive was from 3L.

Please check back as I will be uploading more projects for you to scraplift!!!
