Hi there friends, I have updates to share with you today about Blog Candy so stick with me and I’ll cover the updates at the end of this post.  In the meantime,  I’m back to share a card with you using two of the newer sets with JustRite Stampers called Romantic Sentiments Centers Rounds and Breath of Spring Borders and Centers.   I cut a frame using Spellbinders Cherry Pickin’ and cut a second oval frame using Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG #3 and #5 and popped it up over the cherry frame.  For the sentiment I cut an oval and  nestled it underneath the two frames.  In addition I used  Spellbinders Easter Borderabilities Petite create the border underneath my ribbon – I simply covered up all of the border except the very edges.

All areas are distressed with Antique Linen Distress Ink.  The final touches are ribbon and pearls.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  JustRite Romantic Sentiment Rounds and JustRite Breath of Spring Borders and Centers
Paper:  Webster Pages, Bazzill

Ink:  CTMH Ocean
Accessories:  Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG, Spellbinders Cherry Pickin’, Spellbinders Easter Borderabilities Petite, Ribbon, Pearls button.
 

Several have emailed me to ask about the lattice basket I created recently.  I am working on the diagram and hope to share it next week.  I have a couple of deadlines and commitment to get through first but it is coming, no worries!.

Now, as for the current blog candy, through Random.org I picked the following number:

802

This corresponds with Darlene J

Darlene, please reach out to me through my contact page to claim your winnings.  I sure hope the second time is the charm.  After 48 hours (Monday morning) I’ll pick a new name if I have not heard from you.

For the rest of you, no worries, I still have some items to be given away so another blog candy is going up as soon as I can get pictures of the goodies.  Please come back and jump in on the fun :-)  By the way, thank you so very much for helping me celebrate my blogaversary month!
