Just Us Girls #820 ~ Love you a bunch!

It's STENCIL WEEK at Just Us Girls ~ ANYTHING GOES! 

That's an easy one. 

Here's what I put together for your inspiration this week.

This cutie little bee was hanging around from a previous project that I took apart a long time ago. She has lots of glittery accents on her wings and hands (feet??!!) and glossy accents on her eyes. I couldn't even tell you who makes the bee. She's not in my collection any longer. It might be something I borrowed from my late sister-in-law. Anyway, I stenciled some flowers for my background and used a postage die to cut it out. Both of those items are by The Stamp Market. The focal image is popped up.

It's your turn now, friends. You can use any stencil of your liking. Can't wait to see what you pick out! Need some more inspiration? Pop over to the blog to see what our guest Rosemary and the DT have to share.

This pretty Nordic Flourish Background die from Poppystamps never gets old. Pop over to the blog to see what I added to it to create a lovely thank you card!

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!

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!
