Angela Calendar Part II

Good Morning everyone. We are now sold out of the Witch Way to the Treats set. We have added two new items to the sale section of the website. We are retiring two additional stamp sets in preparation for our November Release - the Christmas Stamp set from 2008 original price $14.95 now $9.95 and the Baby Stamp Ensemble. - original price $14.95 now $9.95. We still have a few Harmony Classic Circle III sets left which come with the wooden stamper- these are a great deal- you receive the block for $1.00 less than you can purchase our 3 1/4" block and all the stamps are free!! Gotta love a great deal!! Today Angela is sharing the second half of her calendar project- you will love how she incorporated lots of JustRite Stamp sets into her project. If you would like the printable calendar template email Angela - [email protected] and she will email it to you directly. For the month of July I used a piece of fireworks paper from Stemma. The month of “July” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Night Sky. For “God Bless America” I used the 25 point Curlz Font and my small horizontal wood stamper to spell this out and die cut it using the Spellbinders Pinking Circle Nestabilities. The stars were cut using my Cricut Expression and the Accent Essentials cartridge. I applied silver glitter to each star for extra “bling”

For the month of August I used a piece of floral paper from DCWV. The month of “August” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Aegean Blue. The flowers are from Prima with Kaiser rhinestones added to the centers.

For the month of September I used a piece of paper from the DCWV Grade School Stack. The month of “September” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Hint of Pesto. The school bus was cut using my Cricut Expression and the Doodlecharms cartridge. I stamped the “S.A.D. #21” using the Times Roman 15pt font from JustRite Stampers. 15 point Times Roman Font is only available for purchase with the 2" stamper. For the month of October I used Halloween paper from DCWV. The month of “October” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Pumpkin Spice. I stamped the “BOO” center from the Witch Way To The Treats set (now sold out) onto white cardstock using Brilliance Jet Black and then clear embossed it to give it a shine. I cut the spider web from Making Memories Spellbound paper and pop dotted the stamped image to it. The spider was cut using my Cricut Expression and the Doodlecharms cartridge.

For the month of November I used a piece of leaf paper from Provocraft. The month of “November” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Gingerbread. The Cornucopia image is from the Favorite Occasions Borders & Centers set, stamped onto white cardstock using Memento Black and colored with Copics.

For the month of December I used a piece of paper from the DCWV Christmas Stack. The month of “December” was stamped onto white cardstock using Brilliance Rocket Red. I used the “Don’t Peek” center from the Tiny Words Borders & Centers set, stamped onto white cardstock using Brilliance Rocket Red and mounted onto green cardstock. The Sleigh was cut using my Cricut Expression and the Christmas Cheer cartridge. The Santa sticker is from my stash. Once all of the months are done bind them all together using the Bind-it-all and ¾” white wire. This calendar was a lot of fun to make and would make a great gift for anyone who is hard to buy for.

Angela's JustRite Desktop Calendar

Don't forget that today is the last day of the Font Sale. Save 30% off all JustRite Font & the Horizontal & Vertical Stamper. Sales ends at midnight (Pacific Time Zone). For the next two days Angela Barkhouse is guest blogging and sharing with us this terrific calendar she designed using a variety of JustRite Products. Here's Angela:

The idea for this project came to me in the middle of the night. I woke up out of a sound sleep, went to my design room and drew it out on a piece of paper so that I wouldn’t forget it by morning. To begin my calendar, I needed to create a stand for it. To do this, I took a 10 1/2” x 6” piece of cardstock and scored it at 5” & 7”. For stability I cut pieces of chipboard, adhered it to the cardstock and then covered it with another piece of cardstock. I applied adhesive to the back to make the stand. Now for the fun part of my project – designing the calendar pages. For each month I chose the designer paper first and then chose the ink color to match.

I used the new Calendar Borders & Centers set from JustRite Stampers. This set is perfect for someone like me who is just learning to color – this set needs little to no coloring. Each month was stamped twice onto white cardstock and then diecut using the Spellbinders Oval Nestabilities, which is a perfect match to this stamp set. I used pop dots between the month & border as well as between the border and my designer paper. I made the mini calendar on my computer and cut it out –( FYI – the size of the mini calendar is 3 ½” x 1 5/8”) and then I matted the calendar onto matching cardstock. Each calendar page measures 6” x 4 ¾” – cut from corresponding cardstock. The designer paper is cut 5 3/8” x 4 5/8”. For the month of January I used a piece of snowflake paper from the DCWV Christmas Stack. The month “January” was stamped onto white cardstock using Brilliance Sky Blue. The stamped snowflake is from the Merry Little Christmas set by JustRite.The snowflakes were cut using the EK Success Kaleidopunch snowflake. Each snowflake has a Kaiser rhinestone in the center and I placed 3 Kaiser rhinestones below the month.

For the month of February I used a piece of OXOX paper from the DCWV Spring Stack. The month of “February” was stamped onto white cardstock using Brilliance Rocket Red. The hearts were cut using my Cricut Expression and the Doodlecharms cartridge. For the month of March I used a piece of St. Patrick’s Day paper from the DCWV Spring Stack. The month of “March” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Tea Leaves. I used the St. Patrick’s Day center from the Favorite Occasions Borders & Centers set stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Tea Leaves, colored the image with my Copics, then mounted onto brown cardstock. The shamrocks were cut using my Cricut Expression and the Doodlecharms cartridge. For the month of April I used a piece of Easter paper from the DCWV Spring Stack. The month of “April” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Pink Grapefruit. The eggs were cut using my Cricut Expression and the Doodlecharms cartridge. Then I applied Stickles to decorate the eggs. For the month of May I used a piece of “Mother” paper from the DCWV Spring Stack. The month of “May” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Pink Petunia. . Using the small horizontal wood stamper, I used the Curlz 25 point font and spelled “Moms Are Special” & “I’m Glad You’re Mine” and then diecut them using the Spellbinders Blossom Nestabilities. The flowers are from Creative Impressions with Kaiser rhinestones in the center.

For the month of June I used a piece of BBQ paper by Flair Designs. The month of “June” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Jumbo Java.The “#1 Dad” ribbon was made using the 50 point Curlz font as well as the Spellbinders Pinking Circle Nestabilities. The “Dad” embellishment is from my stash.

Stop back in tomorrow to see the second half of Angela's calendar.

Barb Schram Day Five - Personal Ornaments

A huge thank you to Barb for sharing her creativity with us over the past week and a half. Barb is on our design team and you can find tons of JustRite Projects on her blog every week. Tomorrow Angela will be sharing the first part of her calendar project with us. Have you seen all the great cards that the CPS Design team has designed using our Christmas Stamps?? To see the first set of cards from the CPS Team visit here. For the second batch visit here. You still have time to play the challenge and as always their is a great JustRite Sponsorship Prize for one lucky winner. Sharon Harnist has created this gorgeous scrapbook page for the sketch. For more details visit her blog post.

Personalizing Christmas Ornaments I love taking a store bought item and placing my own personal twist on it! Today, I did just that, taking two holiday floral picks I purchased at Hobby Lobby (50 cents each at half price!) and making them into ornaments. Using floral picks enables me to use the wrapped wire as the ornament hanger after turning upside down, and no worries about how to get a hanger attached! I bent the pick wire and snipped off excess. This pink snowflake ornament adorns a tag stamped with Memento black ink, backed with scallop die cut silver paper. The sentiment image is from JustRite’s Something Sweet Set. There are so many options to utilize when personalizing an ornament or any creation you make; and with all the JustRite products available, personalizing is a snap. For my ornaments today I used JustRite’s Times New Roman font, JustRite’s Tiny Little Words Set, and JustRite’s Something Sweet Set. When adding a cardstock paper strip around an ornament such as this, I make sure the ornament is plastic or styrofoam material. That allows for the cardstock and punched embellishments to be attached using straight pins. No need for adhesives! Gotta love that! After stamping the word Sharon and 2009, I cut out using a word window punch. At the one end of the date paper piece, I punched a hole so the date piece could easily thread onto the wire hanger. The punched Martha Stewart snowflakes and border strips are held in place with white pearl head straight pins. I made this ornament for my cousin. So, it is fitting that I chose to stamp “Made with Love” from JustRite’s Tiny Words Set. After punching it out I attached using small silver head pins. (the kind that are from my husbands new dress shirts!) A bow around the wire and glittered snowflakes make this a simple, doable, and easy on the budget ornament! After punching out my snowflakes I dabbed a little glue with my Quickie Glue pen and sprinkled with Palette Ultrafine Prisma glitter. On the silver and pink ornament, you see the white mini plastic snowflakes; I punched them using my Crop-a-dile. So, it was not a problem sticking the straight pin through, attaching to the ornament. My game plan is to make ornaments for my husband’s siblings and their children, using their last name. For example, The Schram Family, or The Schrams or any name, sentiment, colored image for these Christmas ornaments would work! And all from floral picks, who knew! I hope you let your imagination see the possibilities JustRite stamps have waiting for you as the upcoming holiday season approaches! Sending a warm and heartfelt THANK YOU to JustRite for allowing me to share some of my JustRite creations while being here as your guest blogger. It has been such a great time of sharing and I so appreciate you having me! Take good care! Stamps: JustRite Times New Roman font, Something Sweet Set, Tiny Little Words Set Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Adirondack Currant Paper: Papertreyink cardstock, Basic Grey DP Accessories: Sharon Johnson and Michaels ribbon, MS snowflake and border punches, decorative straight pins, floral picks, circle punches, spellbinder circle and scallop dies, quickie glue pen, glitter, crop-a-dile, snowflake plastic embellishments

Today Barb Schram is back to finish her guest blogging week and she has a terrific Christmas Card for today's sketch.

SNOWFLAKES are… After the holiday celebrations are over and winter marches on, what a wonderful card to brighten one’s day! JustRite is sponsoring the Card Positioning Systems sketch challenge this week and I thought I would get a head start on those winter cards utilizing JustRite’s A Merry Little Christmas Set! The outer ring border and center snowflake are from JustRite’s A Merry Little Christmas and stamped with Versafine vintage sepia ink. I utilized my JustRite 1 5/8” round wooden stamper to set my border ring and center. Close-up detail of the outer stamped ring also reveals a cardstock button I made to use in the center. I used my stamped snowflake center in the upper left portion of the card design. After gluing 6 circle punched layers of designer paper, I created two button holes (with crop-a-dile), sanded edges, and placed crystal effects button top. Copic markers BG10, BG72, and BG75 are the colors I used to coordinate the snowflake with my Basic Grey patterned paper. I applied liquid pearls with a very light touch to add just a little dimension on the snowflake and butterfly wings. A detail photo of the butterflies…I added pearls to the butterfly spine. The first is made with liquid pearls and the bottoms two are adhesive pearls. I added machine stitching to follow the sketch layout instead of another layer of cardstock. Wouldn’t you love to get butterflies in the winter? It’s a wonderful prompt to remember the promise of spring, and new beginnings are just around the corner. Oh…the versatility of JustRite Stamps! I hope you can give the sketch challenge a try this week, check out the CPS BLOG for details! On Wednesday, I will return with holiday ornaments to share! Think personalized, simple, and economical! Take good care! See you tomorrow!

But the sale only lasts for 7 Days - How Sweet is that!! The JustRite Font Sale begins Sept 17th and ends Sept 24th!! Here at the JustRite Blog we are in the middle of designing this fun Monster Bash. Today I am sharing with you the centerpiece for the party. This fun Chocolate Cookie House Kit from Wilton. To my relief the Haunted House came pre-essembled!! Which certainly steamlined the process- no set-up time required for assembling the house. This is a super fun family project, Jack had a blast helping me design the house and is still asking when he can eat my project! Since this is the centerpiece for the party - the center and the border from the Witch Way to the Treats stamp set expressed the perfect sentiment of most of my hungry party goers. These fun chipboard arrows from Bazzill were the perfect pieces to design my fun road sign. We altered them using a combination of glitter and paper. I used my inverted nestabilitie circles to die cut the orange layer of the stamped image and them used a micron pen to draw in a spider web on the outer edge of the die cut. I just love the whimsical feel of the Haunted Mansion.

For the sign I used Brayton 50 Point Font and inked the image using Memento Tuxedo black ink. To give it a spooky feel I added scraps of spider web borders which were created with the EK Success Spider Web Punch around punch. I used a purple Copic Marker to alter the fancy toothpick which became my sign post. Here is a picture showing you how the party is coming together: Next it was time to design a few Halloween Decorations to accent my table. I found this fun candle jar with eyeballs in it last Halloween and just knew this was the perfect accent for my Spooktacular Celebration. I used my Martha Stewart dripping blood border punch for the top of the jar and the spider web punch around for the bottom of the jar. Using Brayton 50 pt font I created my tag for my jar "Eyes of Newt". Yesterday I showed you this - what the Spider Web Punch around border looked like as well as what you can create when you combine that punch with Martha Stewarts coordinating Spider Web Corner. For the top of my Eye of Newt Jar I made a square webbed mat. Next I added a inverted circle die cut of my favorite Halloween paper from Making Memories (it combines text with a spider web). I added a K&C Spider sticker and then stamped the spider web center from the Witch Way to the Treats sent on pale blue glossy cardstock. I used a red cardstock to mat the image - pulling the design elements of my piece together. Jack gave this piece of my project a huge "Wow mom, that's awesome"....how did you make that!! So I know it will be huge hit at any party. To see my treat bags for the party - visit my personal blog - Polished to Perfection.

For the Hop - here at the JustRite Blog ---we are throwing a Halloween Party. I thought it would be fun to show you how you can use your JustRite Supplies to custom design your own Halloween Party. I don't know about your kids but mine love personalized things!! So today I am going to show you how to make Spider Web Cupcake Wraps as the first project for our Halloween Party. If you haven't seen the new Spider web border and corner punch from Martha Stewart --this is one of the coolest Halloween Punches EVER!! To make the Spider Web Cupcake Wraps I used the Spider Web Border Punch. In the photo above I am also showing you what the corner punch in conjunction with the border punch looks like. (You'll see what I am making with it - Friday on my personal blog--can't wait to show you!!). To make the Spider Web Cupcake Wrap cut a by 8 1/2" x 1 1/2" strip of black paper and use the Spider Web Punch Around Border Punch to create this fun border. Next using Martha Stewart's Glitter Glue (it comes with a brush in the jar - like the brush in a rubber cement jar). Brush the glue on just the web section of the wrap. Add Martha Stewart black glitter. Set aside to dry. Next using Brayton 50 pt Font I placed the children's names onto the smallest JustRite Rectangular Stamper. I was able to get 4 names onto one block. Next I inked the stamp with Black Memento Ink and stamped it on white card stock. Then I trimmed around each name and using the chisel edge of a lime green Copic I edged the name plates. Next I used an EK Success Medium Ghost Punch and a Martha Stewart Jack O' Lantern Punch to create embellishments for the cupcake wraps. Then I adhere all the pieces to the cupcake wrap. Tips: glue all the embellishments onto your wrap and allow them to dry. Next glue the ends of the wrap together. Use a binder clip to hold in place until the glue dries. Your wraps will look like this. Aren't they cute. My next tip is that you should try your cupcakes in the wrap before you frost them to make sure they fit. Jack loved this whole project....but just wanted to know how long it would be before he could eat my project. (Boys!!). Next I used the JustRite Witch Way to the Treats stamps to create Cupcake Picks. I stamped the images with the borders and colored the centers. Then I created a mask using a 1" circle punch and using my Copic Sketch Markers - I airbrushed the outer rim of my stamp images using yellow and green copics. Then I used Glitter paper from DCWV and an SU Scallop punch to make my first mat layer of the pick. The final mat layer was created using Labels One and Black Glitter Paper. Note: Witch Way to the Treats is a LIMITED EDITION SET----if this is on your Wishlist...you need to purchase it this week....as we will be sold out of this Limited Edition before the end of the month. To create the eyes on my cupcakes I used Brown M& M's and white and black frosting. For the mouths I used candy bats leftover from tomorrow's project. For Emily's Cupcake Pick - I used the Medium Bat Punch from EK Success and glittered the bats wings. I also used a small bat from the EK Success Bats Punch (it has 3 different size bats) and added it to the gone batty center. The cupcakes simply sit in the cupcake wraps making it easy for the children to pick up the cupcakes and dig in. Now maybe you haven't considered investing in font...or maybe it's not at the top of your JustRite Wish List... but a little birdie tells me that after you see what 54 top designers do with our font ....you might not only want it....YOU ARE GONNA NEED IT!! And it's on Sale!!

If it is your first time visiting the JustRite Blog---thanks for stopping in!! We have a very unique interlocking stamp system. Which you will love. This week we are focusing on font!

JustRite sells font sets which contain font in 3 sizes - 95 point, 50 point and 25 point. Often people ask what is a point. Point is a term used to describe the height of a font - If you write in a word document you can choose the size of your print by selecting the font size and it is calibrated in points. So the larger the number of the font the larger the font is. Our 95 point font is approx. 1" tall and is the largest font shown in the above picture. Here is today's line up of Fabulous Designers!! Simply click on the links below to begin your Inspiration Journey on the JustRite Mega Font Hop. Don't forget to leave comments on all the blogs including the JR Blog....because we have 3 Mystery Blog Candies to giveaway this weekend. These links are now direct links to the blog hop projects.

Barb Schram - Day Three-- When I visit Grandma

Don't forget that the Mega Font Hop starts on Thursday at 8 am EST!!...It's a 2 day event with 54 of your favorite designers!! They'll be blog candy and an announcement that you won't want to miss!! Today Barb has a terrific project featuring her Grandson..who is just adorable. Grandma will be sharing more photos of her little guy on her blog today as well - so if you have a chance click through and check out Barb's blog Explore, Dream ,Discover today.

When I Visit Grandma When our grandson, Kaylub comes to visit, I know his Mom wants to have all the details of his stay! You know…what time he ate, how many formula ounces he consumed, length of sleeping time, etc. Hence, the idea of a notebook came to mind and this little Kaylub creation was designed! I purchased the notebook (in a three pack) from Walgreen Drugstore some time ago, waiting to be utilized for just the perfect project! I was drawn to the notebook because of its cover colors and also the thickness of the cover, making it quite sturdy and durable. I created a photo pocket by trimming down a small clear envelope to size needed. The pocket is attached with scor tape. The pocket opening is on the left, so the cardstock framed photo doesn’t have a chance of falling out. The front and back outside cover is stamped with watermark ink. I love how this adds so much interest without taking away from the precious photo! Of course, I may be just a tiny bit biased! You have to admit though, he’s darling! The twine you see at the top of notebook is tied onto a paperclip to hold pages together. This makes finding the most recent entry a snap. To personalize the notebook, I utilized JustRite’s Times New Roman font, both uppercase and lowercase. The “K” is 95pt uppercase font. Having the versatility of Times New Roman in upper and lower case is another JustRite font feature I love! After stamping the letter “K” and positioning my label punch, I created my tag. I shaded the label edging and added green eyelets to finish. The label is attached with foam dimensionals.

I made use of a leftover mini notebook page from a scrapbooking kit, perfect to stamp my words on! I used both JustRite Times New Roman 50pt, upper and lower case font. Setting and stamping the words individually and randomly, made it easy and no worries about misplacement! A little heart with bakers string placed on a punched circle completes the overall page design. I used my JustRite Oval 1 3/4” x 2 5/16” wooden stamper for all letter and word stamping. Pictured above is the Times New Roman 50pt uppercase font. I’m pleased with the look of the upper and lower case font…it adds just enough interest to keep your attention to the end of the statement. And here is a close up the stamped word, Grandma. Perfect sized notebook to tuck in a diaper bag, record all necessary information (Grandma gushing included!), and create a log of precious memories in the process. It’s certain to become a keepsake, one created with love to remember treasured visits with Grandma! Get ready for a spectacular JustRite Font Blog Hop, this Thursday and Friday! I will be hopping too, and return next Monday & Tuesday! Take good care!

Supplies: Stamps – JustRite Times New Roman Uppercase Font Set, JustRite Times New Roman Lowercase Font Set, JustRite Oval 1 3/4” x 2 5/16” wooden stamper ,Foam decorative stamp Ink – Versamark watermark, Adirondack Espresso Paper – Brown, Cream Cardstock, Mini notebook page from scrapbooking kit Accessories – 3 ¼” x 5 ¼” Notebook, photo, 3 ¼” x 3 ¼” clear envelope, misc. heart button, scrap twine & bakers string, paper clip, label and ¾” circle punch, sponge dauber, eyelets & Crop-a-Dile, scor tape, foam dimensionalsKeep us in mind....."When it needs to be JustRite".

One of the features I like best about JustRite fonts is they can be used alone or added to any creation I want! For my design today, I decided to utilize JustRite’s Brayton Font to create a name plate on my card. A long overdue baby card and gift is finally complete, Hooray! Not overdue, in the sense of baby being overdue, but meaning finally getting this gift completed! Isn’t this little guy the cutest? He is stamped with Memento tuxedo black ink and colored with Copic markers. Adding letter blocks to spell “Cooper” seemed very appropriate for a bit of room decor! After all, the little guy is playing with blocks on the card! The wooden blocks measure 1 ½” and are painted with white acrylic paint. The card’s ring frame is thin chipboard covered with blue cardstock, and painted with white acrylic paint. I sanded to bring back some blue, and then cut with Spellbinders Classic circle dies. For letter and name stamping, I used my JUST RITE Brayton Font and 1 3/8” x 3 ½” rectangular stamper. The 95pt. font on the blocks and the 50pt. font on the card’s name plate.

All JustRite Stampers boxed font sets include THREE font sizes. Gotta love that! For this project I used the 95pt to create my blocks.

I stamped first and then positioned my 1 3/8” square punch to cut out the patterned paper squares. Much easier that way! I proceeded to punch out all patterned paper squares for the blocks, and adhered with Mod Podge. Using my rubber brayer aided in securing the squares and removing any air bubbles. After blocks were dry, I sanded and lightly misted with matte finish sealer. Cooper Name Plate was created using 50pt. Font I trimmed the name plate to fit my card design and clipped corners for added interest. Adhesive black pearls complete the Brayton font “Cooper” name plate for a finished look. Glue dots hold the name plate in place. I hope you make room for some JustRite playtime fun, adding that personal touch to your creations! Create home décor, attach a name, or add a special message, making your creations JustRite! Take good care and I’ll be back tomorrow!

Day One with Barb Schram- Pumpkin Dip

It is Font week this week at JustRite!! We are going to knock your socks off this week. We have a full week of projects planned using JustRite Font - Monday thru Wednesday Barb Schram is our guest blogger. As always she has lots of fun fabulous economically gifts planned to share with you this week (Barb will be back to join us next week on Monday & Tuesday) because we will be interrupting her guest week to bring you a Mega Font Hop so big and so jammed with projects from 54 of your favorite designers that it will be a two day event. We also have a Huge Announcement on Thursday during the Font Mega Hop.... so don't miss it!! So here's Barb... GOING FOR A DIP PUMPKIN DIP! That is! Last year I discovered this dip recipe on SCS (Sandy Galley), and it is fabulous! ( the recipe is waiting for you at the end of this post). Fall is definitely in the air and before long the Thanksgiving season will be upon us! If you are in need of a gift for hostesses, a special neighbor, or even teachers, this could be it! I wanted quick packaging and found canning jars work quite well. There are many sizes of “Ball” brand canning jars. I chose a wide mouth, half pint, contemporary styled jar with platinum band/lid and found them at my local hardware store.

Of course, the jar lid was just too plain leave as is, so I was off to embellish! I stamped the pumpkin image from JustRite’s Autumn Blessings Set with Memento tuxedo black ink. Using my 2 ¼” x 3 1/16” oval wooden stamper, I stamped the pumpkin center image only. This allowed die cutting my image into a circle. I used a Spellbinders Classic circle die to accomplish this!

Copic Markers used: YR09, YR65, YR68, E09, E31, E33, YG03, G07, G21, G24, and 0(colorless blender). I love the pumpkin image and leaves, suggestive of what is waiting inside the jar!

Utilizing JustRite’s 50pt. and 25pt. Curlz font, I created a tag for my pumpkin dip jar. You can see the letter setup in above photo. Placing the letters on my 1 5/8” round wooden stamper worked well, stamping with same ink as previously mentioned.

The Spellbinders Tags 5 die had the right size tag among the five to choose from. I stamped “Pumpkin Dip” first, and then positioned my tag die for a perfect fit. I thought JustRite’s Curlz Font was just right; it carried the whimsical theme of the curls surrounding the pumpkins and leaves, don’t you think? Tag is tied around bow center with bakers string.

THANK YOU, JustRite! I am thrilled to be guest blogging a few days this week and next! Especially when we have the Font Blog Hop to look forward to! This Thursday & Friday! Take good care! Now for the recipe!
