Thursday Stampin Champion Hopefuls

**Edited** I apologize to Heidi Blankenship who was accidentally left of the Thursday "hopefuls" list. After going over the lists and reviewing my notes that I check over and over {for fear of forgeting someone} I caught my mistake this morning. Congratulations Heidi! **FYI**Tomorrow is the big day for voting. If you are a Top Five Hopeful you need to let everyone know that you need them to come to the JustRite blog and vote for you! Voting will be open from Friday through 9 pm EST on Tuesday. We will not be giving away any gift certificates over the weekend. {We need a little break and you need some stampin time.} On Monday we will resume with the next round of competition. That will give you plenty of time to reveiw the entries in our gallery and stamp your heart out over the weekend. Next week we will be adding a twist to the competition and providing some daily challenges. Finally, thanks for all the entries and wow'ing us with your talent {we received entries as far away as Australia}. Narrowing this down to the top five is going to be brutally painful for us. If you don't make it this week you are still eligible next week. Congrats to the winners below! Please email deniseb@justritestampers.com and your gift certificates will be emailed to you. Also, if you have been a winner during the week and have not received your gift certificate yet please send an email.

Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet....

It's already day four with our Guest Blogger, Lauren Meader and she has done some incredible gift sets this week. Today you get a "treat" with her fun Pixie Stix holder. Can you tell yet how much I adore the JustRite Small Letter Set yet? I can't NOT use it. We are all familiar with that fun saying "trick or treat, smell my feet................." Well that is certainly what inspired this next creation! You must remember Pixie Stix? This is a super cute, and super simple holder for them. I used orchid opulence cardstock to create the holder. Cut your cardstock to 3 3/4 x 11 Along the 11 inch side score at 4 1/2 5 1/2 9 1/2 10 1/2 Now, in that 1 inch space (9 1/2 to 10 1/2) use your word window punch to create an opening for the pixie stix.Put adhesive on that 1/2 inch strip along the (the 11 inch mark), and adhere it to the back of the holder :D I then put a strip of patterned paper at the bottom. Tied around a ribbon. I created my Halloween sentiment using my small letter set. I stamped in white craft ink, onto black cardstock, then punched out. I stamped my witch on white cardstock, colored and popped her out, layering her in the center of my sentiment I then put a strip of patterned paper at the bottom. Tied around a ribbon. Insert the stixs and you are done! A super cute treat to mass produce for those little trick or treater's in your life. Keep us in mind....."When it needs to be JustRite".

Live For Today-Candle Box

Welcome to day three with our Guest Blogger, Lauren Meader. I just want to share that every JustRite product that Lauren has used so far is available on the JustRite WEB site and is listed under Best Sellers. These items are available now and will ship within 24 hours. Also, please note that these items will have a slight price increase September 1st and if you order now you will save 14%-25%. OK by now you are seeing how much I LOVE gift sets! LOL!!! There is nothing better than a gift item that matches the card. One of the things I love about the small letter set is that you can create ANY sentiment or word combination you wish. I have had way too much fun doing that this week. I decided that the sentiment would be my main focus today. So I created my sentiment-Count not the months, but the moments- using the small letter set . I punched out the circle, then also punched out the center of the sentiment creating an open ring. I took clear beading thread, and suspended my dual vellum butterfly in the center. Behind it I placed my co-coordinating patterned paper.

First my card....

I made my card using a scrap of the patterned paper along the side, then stamped some flowers & butterflies. Added my sentiment, and it was done. Next my gift box.... I then created a simple little box from 2 covered chipboard coasters, and creating a lid to adhere on top to hold a simple candle in. The covered chipboard lid ties on with ribbon. A very quick and simple gift idea for that special occasion.

Keep us in mind....."When it needs to be JustRite".

Desk Top Stationery Box

Welcome to day two with Lauren Meader. Today Lauren has created a great desk top set that would make a wonderful holiday gift for a teacher, friend or co-worker. She has also provided some great inspiration for those of you participating in the Stampin' Champion Contest. Well yesterday I was able to share my own personalized gift set. Today I decided it would be nice to create a desk top set for a family. Many times around the holidays, we may look for a family gift item to give away. Maybe even a nice gift for our family physician or other care professional, such as a teacher. With many people on our gift giving list, this is an affordable option, and is sure to not only be a hit, but one you will want to make for everyone, any time of year! I created this super fun gift box, that is pretty enough to sit on the desk. Why make something people will need to put away. Keep this notecards handy and out for everyone to see. The note cards tie right in, all nice and pretty! Just untie and you can remove the set of personalized note cards. It is a great way to present this gift set. I used the Special Occasions set for the last initial if our name. I then used the small letter set to spell out our last name. The "from the desk of" was the perfect border for our gift set. I then colored the floral image with my markers and stamped in into the middle of the monogram. This note card is designed for the receiver to just jot down whatever little message they like in that white square. Then they can send them off. By doing just a single layer notecard, you are able to create even more in the set to give away. So this upcoming holiday season, get creative with some personalized stationary set for any one on your list. Keep us in mind....."When it needs to be JustRite".
