Just Us Girls #819

Hi, friends! Bobby has a fun spring Mood Board for you at Just Us Girls today. Pretty appropriate for my neck of the woods where we are having crazy warm temps and rain! I have a cute CAS card for you today, lets take a look.

I recently bought this sweet Anita Jeram bunny on sale CCC. He's Copic colored, die cut and popped onto a raindrop embossed background (TE). A simple little hello sentiment and a few rhinestones finished things off.

Still trying to find our normal around here. We got mom and dad moved into their new digs and they're very happy. My brother took them out for the morning/early afternoon while the hubs and I dealt with the movers and unpacking. We had everything unpacked and set up before they arrived. My mom walked in and was beaming! She kept saying "Oh, I like it, I really like it!!"  They had been their twice before, but it was just an empty apartment setting. Seeing their own things there made a huge difference. 

We listed their house on Friday and it sold on Monday! Holy smokes! We're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, though. Thank you for all of your sweet comments, prayers and to those who sent cards or emails. You're all the best!

I look forward to seeing your cards in our JUGs gallery and hopefully getting back to visiting your blogs soon! 

Just Us Girls #818

Hello friends! We have a new challenge up on the Just Us Girls blog. Ina is hosting and she has picked the SPOTLIGHT TECHNIQUE for you. The team has some amazing inspiration on the blog!

I'm taking this week off. We've been so very busy purging, packing and selling items from my parent's house for a few weeks now. Tomorrow, they make the move to Assisted Living. It's a big adjustment for them and an emotional time for all of us as we go through their things and all of the memories they bring. Thankfully they can take their own furniture and special things with them to make their new space feel like home. Mom has macular degeneration, so she's depending on me to get it decorated the way she likes it. I look forward to helping her!

Please excuse me as I take a break from commenting as well. All of this work has taken a toll on my hands & wrists.

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to check out what the team and our guest designer, Rosemary Dennis have to share. They'll knock your socks off!

Just Us Girls #817 ~ Easter Blessings

 

Hey there, it's time for another Just Us Girls challenge. This is DIE WEEK and Sue has picked Easter/Spring for you. We also have a new guest designer for the month of April. Welcome to the super sweet Rosemary Dennis! 

Busy busy is my name lately, so I went with a CAS card today. I used two dies. Lets take a look...

I know I use this IO egg every year, but it's just too cute not too. I mean just look at those sweet blooms and that polka dot ribbon! My pretty little PPP tag die frames it perfectly. I popped it onto a gingham panel cut with a Spellbinders Hemstitch die. A simple sentiment and it was good to go!

I think I'll link this up over at Inkspirational. They're looking for CAS cards with the optional twist of E as in Easter, Egg and hey... how about Elton!!

Wishing you all a blessed Easter!

hope this makes you smile

I've been a busy bee and haven't had much crafting time. I actually made this card weeks ago and never posted it. It fits in with this week's challenge over at The Paper Players. Take a look...

I used some fun layered flower dies and stamps from The Stamp Market. The flowers were cut from both cardstock and patterned paper from my stash. A simple embossed background was all it needed. This works for the diagonal line: die cut, flowers and layers. 

There you go, I hope it makes you smile.

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit!
