Share the Wealth Saturday

Happy Saturday!  First off, let's get to the winner's announcement from Monday's giveaway.  The Fancy Pants Paper and Pink Paislee Scrap Pad go to...

Marisa who said...

Darling card, Julee :D Great use of the colours and I love all the white space. I'm ready to go surfing too LOL! Since I'm always late on getting in to trends or bypass them all together(what can I say, I've never been a trendy girl LOL!) I'd say I'm really loving buttons. Also enjoy making flowers. Have a fabulous week :D

Congrats Marisa!!!  I'll send your goodies out next week!  :)


Now, on with today's card.  I actually colored the flower from One Person to go with some of the new So Sophie papers by My Mind's Eye, but my purples ended up being to pink for the look I was going for, so I made a quick card to use up this flower.  The sentiment is stamped in Rich Razleberry and cut with the Labels 9 Nestabilities.  The aqua paper is from one of my favorites - the Tiffany's collection from We R Memory Keepers.  I added a bow in the corner and topped of the flower with some new Webster's Pages Sparklers (oh my word, I'm loving these gorgeous little things!!!).


And since my craft room still runneth over, I figure I'd have a Share the Wealth Saturday Giveaway.  Just leave a comment on this post before next Friday night (5/14) and I'll pick a winner to send a sampling of the Tiffany's Collection of paper along with some fun embellishments.  Need something to say?  Tell me what crafty thing you've been eyeing.  I've been pining away for some of that really fine Flower Soft.  I've never tried it, but see so many people create awesomeness with it.

Oh, I love the label dies on this one...embossing the background one is a great idea :) What fun sparklers!!! Hmmm, what have I NOT been eyeing :) LOL Actually, only 2 things this week...lol....seam binding ribbon (which is on its way to me via Etsy!) and October Afternoon paper...Thrift Shop and Go Fly a Kite (which may be on its way to me as of tonight!!)...that will let my husband think twice than leave me home this weekend while he's away working!! LOL Gives me too much online shopping time!! LOL Hope you have a great vacation...starts next week?

Chriss Blagrave said...

Love this sentiment Julee. Beautiful card, elegant and not fussy. I have been eyeing a couple more of the Spellbinder Labels and, actually, the same as Maureen! How weird is that?

Marisa said...

Can't believe my eyes, that would be my name under winner LOL! Thank you so much for sharing the wealth, Julee!! A perfect Mother's Day gift :D

Love your card - great colours and the embossed nestie layer is fabulous. Have a long list of what I've been eyeing...some of the new Nesties Label dies, the PTI flower dies and scalloped dies, some Martha Stewart punches. I'm keeping up to my champagne taste on a water budget LOL! Have a fabulous time away and thanks again for the goodies - happy mail is always so much fun to get :D

Jen Cuthbertson said...

Gorgeous card, Julee! I've had a few Verve sets on my list (Feel the Sun and One Person) but just received Happy Days and Relax that I can't wait to use! I always have Spellbinders on my list - I'd love to have Labels 10 and the heart/scalloped hearts.

Andrea said...

The card is beautiful! Always stunning! I have been eyeing some of the Labels Spellbinders dies...way behind the times I know since everyone already has them, but i still want 'em!

Deborah Young said...

Julee.....I'm eyeing your awesome new picture! And I'm probably the last person on earth without a ScorPal. Been eyeing it for a while, so I ordered it this week!

Charmaine (CharmWarm) said...

THis is just GORGEOUS, Julee! I LOVE that sparkler too! I may have to look into those! :)

Lisa P said...

Great giveaway. Totally LOVE your work!

I've been pining away for the Martha Stewart version of the Scor-Pal and finally caved and bought it today. :-)

Wanda Cullen said...

Julee, your card is gorgeous! Since your last release had a lot of beachy/tropical images, I'm on the lookout for tropical papers & embellishments. Keep up the great creativity...I continue to love everything VERVE!

Julie S. said...

Labels9 dies, like those you used... And Kioshy paper by Basic Grey... Love the card. Winning would be fun! Thx

Lavonne (tweetygirl) said...

Such a pretty card! Love everything about it. I've been eyeing the Pure Innocence stamps, more nestabilities and more Verve stamps. So many things, so few dollars!

Julee...
You are so incredibly talented on so many levels...I only hope that I can manage to reach a portion of the level of creativity. There are so very many things I love about your blog, but #1 would have to be your classy style. All of the cards that you do are awesome. I don't think that I have ever seen anything I didn't like! As for "cravings"...lately it seems that there are so many new things that I could honestly say i wouldn't know where to begin. I always look forward to New. I stamp and scrap so everything screams "BUY ME!!!"

Julee, I love everything you do! Thanks for the work you do to teach and inspire us to create. Thanks good friend!

GAZ said...

Your card is beautiful and I love the color combination too. I've been eyeing a butterfly punch that I want but don't "need" since I already have 3-4, but this one is different! Thanks for all you share and for the chance to win some goodies. Glenda

Sian said...

Gorgeous card, love the sentiment and the colours are beautiful.

Susie W. said...

oooo....such a pretty card. Love the embossed piece behind your sentiment.
I've been eying a Scor Pal. It's a little expensive, so maybe later!

Judy Jackson said...

I have been anxious to try Smooch spray.

Your card has just convinced me to get the Labels 9 after all; it sure makes the focal pop, especially with the embossing! Thanks for the chance to win some goodies, too.

What a very springy card! Love it! I have fallen in love with the Webster's pages line. I love their DP. It is beautful! Almost like mini works of art!

Mary B said...

As usual, beautiful card! Also LOVE the earlier Dad card on your blog. I own all of Verve's Father's Day sets, and will definitely be using your idea.

As for what I've been watching...organizational stuff! I need to get all of the stuff out of my way so I can actually create. Thanks for the chance to win more stuff!

Catherine Kraft said...

I love this card and everything about it. This sentiment really speaks to me lately. I've been wanting pretty ribbons and all the beautiful flowers I've seen used lately. Flowers are one thing I need in my embellishment box. Love the nestie labels too.

MicheyMoo said...

Julee....you are fast convincing me that I need to get every single one of the label dies!! I've already got half of them (including some of the newbies) but when you make a gorgeous card like this....I want the rest too!!

I've been eyeing off the Copic Air brush system for months and months....and since doing Certification last week, I now need, yes, that's right, I NEED a Copic air compressor and air brush system now, lol!! Thanks Marianne and the Copic team for encouraging my addictive behaviour. Thankfully, its my birthday next week and I'm getting the fam to contribute towards it.
Thanks for the chance to win this sweet candy. xx

Heidi G said...

Thank you for offering the giveaway of some of your treasures. How I'd love to win. What have I been eyeing recently? I have been trying to be a good girl (this economy thing, unemployed hubby, etc.) so I'm keeping my wants small. I want the Tim Holtz new dies (birdcage). Don't know if I'd ever get it, but a girl can dream can't she???

Joyce M said...

Oh, thanks for sharing the goodies. I always love to see your cards. I get such inspiration from you

Yo Glenn said...

Beautiful card, as usual. Love your stamps. The newest thing I'm keeping my eye on is the Cricut cake decorating machine. I do make quite a few cakes throughout the year for others, but not quite sure if the expense would justify it - though I guess I could start making more cakes if I get it :) Thanks for sharing your wealth!

Pinque Scrapbooking said...

What an awesome card, just perfect! I have been eyeing the new Cuttlebug diecuts for flowers - it replaces the quilling - looks so much more easier than quilling.

Cathy said...

Love your card, the colors are so pretty. Thanks for sharing the wealth. Those are awesome flowers.

Fonda @Southern Scraps said...

Pretty card and awesome giveaway. I've been eyeing some more Spellbinders dies.

Ravengirl said...

I have been dying for a corner chomper! I just haven't pulled the trigger yet!

Desirée said...

Wow, I just LOVE those flowers and colours!! Thanks for offering a chance to win this :)

I've been eying the Copic markers for a while, the steep pricetag is what held me back. I actually ordered some skin tones last weekend to start with.

maiahs_momma said...

One crafty thing I have been eyeing is a new digital camera...a Nikon would be nice :D!

Thanks for this chance to win some goodies :)!

Inky Hugs,
