Welcome to the Official Launch of JustWordz Stamps!!

Please note: This post will remain on top through July 29th.  Please scroll down for the most recent posts.

Good morning, everybody! Today is not only Friday but is also a day of celebration and great hoopla.... for me and for a new stamp company called JustWordz Clear Stamps for which I am a designer. Kim, the creator and owner of JustWordz released her first stamp set, called Everyday Sentiments. This is a mix-n-match set of 69 (count 'em... 69!) stamps that can be combined in various ways to create unique sentiments for all of your cards, layouts and other paper crafting  projects. The full set comes on a 6" x 8" sheet instead of the standard 4" x 6" sheet. And guess what!! To celebrate this auspicious occasion, Kim is offering her first set at an introductory price of $18.99 USD during the launch PLUS she is going to give away a set to a lucky visitor who leaves a comment on her blog between now and August 21st! There are several ways you can multiply your chances of winning so please take a few minutes to visit her blog and find out how.  

I have created my first project using JustWordz stamps and let me tell you... they create such clear and crisp images and are really easy to use. I made a "Congratulations" card and because, as many of you know, I have been unemployed for 11 months as of yesterday, I thought it would be a good idea to project my desire to find a new job out into the universe through my card!! The power of positive thinking, ya know...  I need all the help I can get! LOL!

The card is a bit masculine in appearance but that's okay too because my younger brother is also unemployed (yeah, I know, right?)  and I'll give this one to him when he starts his new job. Hopefully he won't be off as long as I have been. So without further ado, here's my little bit of inspiration for your viewing pleasure.

I used Core'dinations chocolate brown textured cardstock for the card base and The Paper Studio dark beige cardstock from their Simple Elegance stack for the matting. The white cardstock is by Recollections. All of the dp is from my favorite, K & Company's Que Sera Sera collection and the gold glitter cardstock is from DCWV's Mariposa collection.  The image is from Stampabilities and was colored with Copics.  I used dark brown adhesive pearls from Recollections in the corners of the mat behind the image as well as on the sentiment flags. The clear skittles were courtesy of our sweet Kim. Thanks again, Kim... you rock, girlfriend! And the key, which is supposed to signify the tradition of the washroom key given to newly-promoted executives at big corporations, is from K & Company's Life's Journey collection. 

Each of the other design team members has a project posted on her personal blog too so stop by and see what they have made and leave them a little love while you're at it.  I have provided links below to take you there:
