Mega March Blog Hop - Day 2!

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the JustRite® Stampers Mega March Blog Hop!  I have made a special project using the Stitched With Love Borders & Centers - 2 3/8" Round.  This wall hanging shows off my adorable great-niece, Morgan!  Isn't she cute as a button?  :)

For this project, I started with a 8 x 8" piece of chipboard.  I covered it using some Sweet Blush cardstock. This picture of Morgan was from a Christmas card.  Since I wanted to use really girly paper and not Christmas, I took some cream Acrylic Paint and sponged that around her so that it all kinda matched.  I layered her picture onto a piece of Certainly Celery Cardstock. 

Using the (S4-241) Jumbo Scalloped Borderabilities® Petite die template from Spellbinders™, I cut/emboss a strip of Mary Mary "Beautiful" So Cute from the Quite Contrary collection by My Mind's Eye and a piece of vanilla cardstock.  I added a strip of Soft Sky underneath the strip at the bottom.  The bottom strip of patterned paper is the other side of the My Mind's Eye paper.  I stamped the flower image in 3 different colors of ink - Baja Breeze, Regal Rose & Pretty In Pink.  Then I covered the whole flower with Versamark embossing ink and Iridescent Ice embossing powder.  After heat setting, I cut the flowers out, added those buttons and mounted them onto (S4-192) Blossoms Nestabilities™.  Then I stamped the Cute As A Button stamp from the set using some Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto vanilla cardstock and then cut/embossed using the Scalloped & Standard Circle Nestabilities™.  I stamped Morgan's name using the Times New Roman 15 & 25 Point Font set and the 2" square stamper.  Using the (S4-126) Classic Square Nestabilities™ Lg, I cut/emboss her name.  The I stamped the square design using the 2" square Decorative Frames set in Baja Breeze ink onto some Soft Sky cardstock.  Using the (S4-127)Scalloped Square Nestabilities™ Lg, I cut/emboss this and layered Morgan's name on.  I added some lace and that cool hanger and it was all done!  Now I can give this cute keepsake to her Mom and Dad, don't you think?  Here are a couple of close-ups:

 

There are 30 designers and FIVE shopping sprees each day.  No one knows where the prizes will be!  Each day of the hop JustRite will have five Mystery Blog Candy Prizes hidden along the hop with a total retail value of  $600.  JustRite will randomly select five mystery blogs each day of the hop and randomly allocate each of the shopping sprees.  For your chance to win, simply leave a little love (a comment) on each designer’s blog including the JustRite blog.  The more designers you leave comments with, the better your chances of winning.  Each day’s comments will remain open for three days.  A winner from each of the mystery blogs’ comments will be randomly chosen using Random.org.  Consult the listing of designers at the JustRite blog each day (each day’s designers will be different) and start out on your way!  Beginning Friday, March 26, summaries of all the winners will be posted on the JustRite blog.  Good luck to everyone and enjoy all the JustRite eye candy along the hop!
