Just Us Girls #744 ~ Hope

 

It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls! Sue is our hostess this week and she's looking for your take on the word HOPE. Be sure to stop by the blog to see the wonderful inspiration from my teammies and Nance, our guest designer!

I've had this Hero Arts woodblock sentiment stamp in my collection for years. Today I've framed the word HOPE using a fun flower die cut by Simply Graphic. A couple more of those whimsical blooms were added along with a sweet trio of Poppystamps butterflies. An embossed panel (SSS) for the background and a raspberry card base finished it off.

I do HOPE you like it!

 I also HOPE to see your card in our gallery!

It's my turn to post over on the Poppystamps blog. I hope you have a minute or two to check out where this cute little gnome ended up!

We're off to Sweet P's softball game this evening. 

Have a great day, friends!

 

Just Us Girls #743 ~ Hello

Hello there! Ready for a new Just Us Girls challenge? Bobby is our hostess this week and she's given us a terrific color combo to work with. We also have a new guest designer joining us for September. Please pop over and say hello to Nancy Salkeld! Welcome, Nancy we're so happy to have you creating with us this month!

My jumping off point was this pretty wreath by Pinkfresh. I stamped it using PTI's Canyon Clay ink. The embossed panel (GinaK) was layered onto a shimmery gold panel. They were both cut with a ME die. After popping on the wreath, I set out to decorate it. The PPP bow and leaves were layered together then I added tiny punched blue and gold dots to the wreath. The finishing touch was a PTI tiny tag holding my sentiment.  

How will Bobby's colors inspire you? I can't wait to find out!

Just a Note

Hey there! I'm popping in for a quick minute tonight with a card I made for The Paper Players. Dots were involved in the current challenge... you know me, I can't pass up a good polka dot!

Actually dots or stripes are the current challenge. What the heck, I used them both! I went waaaay back to an oldie but a goodie from PTI for my dots. I used the Mat Stack 5 set to create a landing spot for my pretty little SSS sunflower. A simple sentiment by Pinkfresh and an embossed base (Lifestyle Crafts, I think) completed my CAS card.

Off she goes to the gallery. Thanks so much for stopping by!
