Hello Everyone! Many thanks to those who have been checking up on me because of my absence!! School finished for the Christmas/Summer break (and therefore 3 kids at home under 8yrs), desperately trying to get my Christmas Shopping done, trip to the hairdresser for all of us followed by a massive migraine that resulted in a lot of throwing up followed by 15hrs of being unconscious and another day recovering. Today I am off to see my cousin who is in town - I haven't seen her in two years!!! As you can see it's been pretty full on around here of late!!!Now I still have to make the Featured Stamper challenge card for this week, because it is none other than my dear friend PAM (aka Pam124) - however it will just have to wait a little bit longer!!! With Christmas fast approaching and our family will be going away for a bit - my posting may be a little sporadic, although I will have some news to share soon!!
The project I have today is a Christmas gift that I made last week before the chaos hit! I bought a Spirax notebook and covered it with this pretty Kaisercraft Blushed DSP. The strip down the side is more of the same paper (don't you love that flourish!) with some white grosgrain knotted around it and mounted on some pink bazzill that I've punched with the Fiskars Upper Crest Border Punch. The Monogram is made using the JustRite 2" Square Decorative Frames and the Special Occasions Font Set stamped in Chocolate Chip and Regal Rose. I cut it out using the Large Classic Square Nestabilities and matted with the Label 3 Nestabilities (2 sizes, 2 colours of pink bazzill) and popped it up on foam tape. I finished by adding some Kaisercraft Snow Pearls to the corners.
JustRite have now compiled an awesome chart that tells you which Spellbinders/Marvy/EK Success/Stampin Up product matches which JustRite stamp set!!!! What an awesome resource that is!!! You can find it HERE and download it for future reference!!!

I like the nesties you used with this monograms, looks great... for a moment I thought you had "gotten" into rub-ons, but alas just your good paper sourcing skills coming to light!!
