Just Us Girls #779

 

Hey there! Are you ready for a new challenge at Just Us Girls? Carol is our hostess and she's looking for numbers. I was in need of a birthday card for our great nephew, so this was perfect timing!

I pulled out some paper from an old My Minds Eye 6x6 pad and I let them do the work! Since all of the papers came from the same pad, the colors and patterns flow together perfectly. A die cut banner die by PPP was turned into a shaker with the numbers added on top.

This little fella has been through the ringer. He went in for surgery and ended up with several complications that resulted in an 85 day stay in the hospital. He's home now, thanks be to God, and celebrating double digits!

What does Carol's word challenge 'number' mean to you? I look forward to seeing your masterpiece in our gallery!

With Gratitude

It's a rainy day today, a perfect day to snuggle in and get a little card making time. I have one for you today that will be heading to a few challenges. I love it when it works out that way! I've used Stef's colors from The Paper Players, Cécile's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, the top horizontal line from Tic Tac Toe and finally, I've used a frame to fit in over at Diane and Darlene's Double D Challenge! Here we go...

My frame, butterfly and leafy sprigs are all from The Stamp Market. I added some stenciled clouds to the inside of the frame and fussy cut the Altenew sentiment. Off she flutters to the galleries! Thanks so much for stopping by, have a blessed day!

Just Us Girls #778 ~ Love You Forever

 

Hi there! It's time for another month of new challenges from Just Us Girls. We're excited to have Joanne James joining us as our guest designer! Welcome Joanne! Ina is our hostess for Die Week and she's looking for layers. I put together this little number for my mom's birthday.

I used an oldie but a goodie set from PTI ~ Pretty Peonies as my focal. I stamped and die cut the peony bloom then popped it up on the stamped and die cut leaf layer with foam tape. The butterfly from the set was double stamped with the same ink then die cut. These were added to the rustic cream panel layered with the embossed panel. Another butterfly and sentiment finished my design. I added a final die cut layer in the form of a scalloped panel and a sprinkling of pearls. 

What dies will you choose to layer up? Pick some out and come play along with us this week!

Thanks to sweet Michele for reminding me... I'll be sending this over to The Flower Challenge!

Just Us Girls #777 ~ Sending Hugs

Hey there! It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. Here's what I put together for 'CASE a Design Team Member' week!

This little cutie is a left over from a long ago 12 Kits of Occasions kit. Our rainy spring seemed a good time to finally get it colored and used. I lightly stenciled some gray rain clouds onto a white panel (they do show up better IRL!), stamped some tall grass (Impression Obsession) along the bottom, cut it out with a Pink & Main Cloudy Frame then embossed it with some Taylored Expressions raindrops. My card base is Poppystamps Deep Turquoise paper and the sentiment from The Stamp Market. Lots of companies used to create this one!

Pop on over to the JUGs blog to check out what the team has to share. Pick out a card to CASE and join us, we love it when you do!
