Just Us Girls + Want2Scrap = JUGS #70 Sketch!

Happy Saturday!  I am THRILLED to bring you the Just Us Girls challenge this week...we have the added excitement of a sketch sponsored by Want2Scrap! 

Want2Scrap manufactures their own line of bling, acrylic and chipboard albums as well as laser designs and ribbon. They have also just announced a brand new product called Nestabling...bling that is specifically designed to work with your Spellbinder Nestabilities! Want2Scrap is generously offering a $25 gift certificate to one of our randomly chosen challenge participants this week! W-O-W! Now that's shopping power!

Check out the sketch....

This sketch is to inspire you to pile it up in one corner of your project!  Doesn't matter what you pile, just as long as there are LAYERS...

I used one of my favorite card templates by Kelleigh Ratzlaff to create a *sweet* valentine for my friend's granddaughter.  My layers include a paper doily, handstamped banner tag, Want2Scrap bling swirls, satin flower, seam binding and a cute Romance Love Flair button from American Crafts to top it off.  I also outline the cupcake topper with pearl liquid fabric paint.

I love how this template opens up to display the inside.  I chose to adhere the cupcake "wrapper" on the sides and bottom so that it becomes a pocket to tuck a note or a gift card inside.  To make the "wrapper" I scored and folded a piece of Papertrey Ink dark chocolate cardstock at 1/4" intervals.  I then adhered it to the card base with liquid adhesive and let it dry.  Once dry, I could trim the wrapper to the shape of the card.  I hand trimmed the top edge in v-shapes so it looks like the real wrapper deal! :)

I added this sweet lace heart border punch from Martha Stewart crafts and topped it off with Pearl Bling from Want2Scrap!

Ready to join us?  Head on over to the Just Us Girls Blog to see inspiration by our February Guest Designer, Lori, along with Want2Scrap guest stars Mimi and Elise PLUS the JUGs girls you know and love.

The crafting was for my friends at Want2Scrap and oh BOY, they have just posted the first of many CHA peaks for their new line of nestie friendly BLING called Nestabling!  Ahhhhhhhhh!  can you IMAGINE how hard it was to keep this one under my hat for the past few weeks? 

Be still my HEART!  (ha ha get it? "heart"?)  That's right, today's peak is the fabulous scalloped heart bling that pairs up with the Nestabilities gorgeous scalloped hearts dies...just in time for valentine's day!  I can already taste the CONVERSATION HEARTS, can't you?

Want some?  You know you do!  Guess what?  Head on over to the Want2Scrap blog to enter your comment for a chance to win a COMPLETE line of the new and fabulous nestie friendly NESTABLING.  Enter a comment on today's post and then keep going back each day as the fabulous folks at Want2Scrap continue to bring us a peak each day of the new bling line!

One thing I love about blogging are the opportunities we have to meet amazing people from all over the world!  Creative and generous bloggers from everywhere!  One day I stumbled upon Tara Anderson's blog and thought "oh my!" ..you know that kind of eye candy that strikes a chord within?  Oh yes, Tara's designs speak to my heart with her colorful layers, vintage-y pieces and new uses for common things. I read through several different back posts and at one point found myself reading her statements about towns right around me!  Come to find out, Tara did some growing up in my neck of the woods and that just seemed so exciting to me!  Kinda like going halfway around the blog world and back to find out your neighbor is blogging right next door to you.  Tara no longer lives in my area, but like I said, it was a unique experience.  Generous Tara offered up a blog candy drawing and guess what?  I was the lucky girl who was picked!  Above is the picture of my prize all wrapped up in sewing pattern tissue paper and hand assembled trim plus a surprise package of Elle's studio product.

Just look what is inside?!!!!?!  Tara sent me one of her adorable handpunched and sewed Paper Garlands!  Right now, it is criss crossing across a vintage barn window turned picture frame in my scrap room.  Makes me smile whenever I look at it.

And now, for my own giveaway...time to find out who the lucky winner of a package of Bloomers from Websters...................................

Lucky number 15 is:
