Poppystamps

Thank you for the get well wishes here, on FB and in the cards I've received! Recovery is going well. X-rays and a new cast (another beasty full arm deal) this past Friday. Things are still in place and the incision looks good. Two more weeks until more X-rays and another cast. This one will be smaller... thank goodness! My guy is taking very good care of me!

It's time for another post from me over on the Poppystamps blog with another of my projects made ahead! I'm sharing something from the latest release in a fun color combo inspired by a twirling costume from my teenaged baton days! It started with this pretty Fine Eyelet Frame panel. Pop over for a look!

Just Us Girls #841 ~ Happy Fall

It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. Vicki is our hostess and has a lovely Mood Board for us. 

Here's a close up. So many options!


I focused on that bottom right photo with the fancy buildings and hint of fall color. I used a retired Poppystamps window die, backed it with vellum and stamped on a simple sentiment (PTI).


The row of pretty little trees is an old woodblock stamp by Memory Box. As a nod to the sweater in the bottom left and the one on the puppy, I embossed my background with a knit EF. A little sparkle and she was good to go!

I can't wait to see how Vicki's photo inspires you!

Just Us Girls #840 ~ Oh Happy Day!


Hello, my friends! It's WORD WEEK at Just Us Girls. Ina is our hostess and she picked the word BOLD. I had to put my thinking cap on and in the end decided to go with a bold sentiment and bold colors. Take a look...


I stamped my big bold sentiment (TSM) and heat embossed it to give it even more pop. This was added to the embossed panel along with a bright bold orange butterfly from Poppystamps. It all went onto a card base topped with a bright glittery floral paper. I think I managed to make it bold, how about you?

Alrighty, it's your turn.
 I look forward to seeing what you create!

Just Us Girls #839 ~ Thank You

It's DIE WEEK at Just Us Girls with Sue as out hostess. She's looking for THANKS die cuts. It's also a new month so that means a new guest designer. We're happy to have Julia Aston joining us!


I couldn't decide between a thanks or thank you die. Since this one was already cut, it seemed to say pick me! I popped it onto a pretty GinaK embossed card base then added some Pinkfresh flowers and a trio of Poppystamps Nordic Butterflies. A sweet and simple way to send my thanks to someone!

We do hope you'll join us this week. Remember, if you are picked as our Winner of the Week, you have a chance to guest design with us!
