flawless fit of this week's JUGS technique AND inspiring Card Patterns sketch
was too beautiful for me to ignore - did you hear that CLICK ? - How flawlessly
they work together! MEOW! CHECK it out... Here's Just Us Girls....

{Ahhhhh, such a lovely day dream!} and the fabulous design talents

AND, our FABULOUS Guest Designerfor the month of
September, the ultra talented, Monique Hansen!

We're making WORDS into ART and juicing up our cards with it!



Yup - I'm still showing off with Dawn's new release! LOVE
me a "CLASS ACT" and CLASSROOM BACKGROUNDS!
How perfect for this assignment! {Wahoooooooo!}


LOVE this sketch lay-out, too - LOTS of room for FUN!



I, literally, had so many ideas for this composition, my head was-a-swirlin'...!
But when it came time to craft - I was inspired by the lovely printed piece in
the center of the card! I had saved and saved and protected this hunk of goodness
long enough - as a result, THIS card happened. What a hoot! Meanwhile, I hope
you're throw some crafty work into the mix with Card Patterns this week!
And while you're at it, don't forget to check out my lovely other sistas of
designy inspo and all around fun - the Card Patterns powerhouses! Yee Haw!

Meanwhile, and speaking about creative lists! Some of you might recall
that just last week, the JUGS rolled out some pretty crafty fun to celebrate
our 100th challenge... And we were offering up some yummy incentive to
have you play with us.......

to announce the winner of MY blog candy! A lovely lady who shared a card,
comments and a general love of our fine sport... Cue the drums... and a
glimpse of the RANDOMNESS of this fine, crafty show...

these, we're all going to score higher this year: all you need ARE these stamps! {!}

Design Basics: CLASSROOM BACKGROUNDS

Have you ever spun your wheels over WHAT to make for your baby's teacher?
SPIN no more: DAWN has taken care of EVERYTHING! Not only did she make
this set and THIS set, but with the Wplus9 Flickr Gallery and DAWN'S awesome
video tutorials and design team events - you WON'T need to search far for inspo
this YEAR! We've got your back, room mothers of the decade!

In case you didn't get our memo, Wplus9 is having a huge "get to know our wonderful
new stamps" extravaganza! Dawn spent the first few days of the month DAZZLING with
her AMAZING use of these delightfully fun designs, and now the designers are taking turns
featuring our interpretation of Dawn's images, AND {!} Dawn is featuring us, individually,
so we can feel all puffy and loved by Mrs. W {tee hee} and REALLY spotlight how fabulous
it is to stamp with these exquisite slabs of polymer JOY!!! - FUN, fun, FUNNNNNN!

I hope you'll take a closer looks at Dawn's feature of the EVER inspirational and HOLY
adorable kids - THIS girl makes the MOST darling Layouts and crafty crafts, JINNY!

AND, our rockstar REAL LIFE, graphic designer and sweetheart, extraordinaire,
KERRIANNE! THAT girl makes Dawn's stamps GET UP AND DANCE, IYKWIM!

So that's how I'm rollin' with the Dawn stamps so far! {But I'm FAR from done! LOL!}

Thanks for stopping by! I loves me some GOOD sharing over new stamps and FUN!
