Just Us Girls #824 ~ Happy Birthday

 

Check out this fun vibrant Mood Board Carol Mc has for us at Just Us Girls this week! See that sailboat, the arch shapes and the orange stripes? Well, I turned them into this...

The little boat if from a MFT set, the scalloped arch is SSS and the sentiment an oldie by DeNami Design. Simple and cute. Just what I needed after taking a fall onto the concrete patio. Missed the last step and down I went. Sprained my ankle and wrist, hit my head, bruised my shoulder, scraped my knuckles... OY! Things are healing. Colorful, but healing!

I look forward to seeing your cards in our gallery. 

It's sure to be a bright and happy one this week!

Just Us Girls #823 ~ To Brighten Your Day

 

It's WORD WEEK at Just Us Girls and I am hosting! 

I picked an easy one for you... FLOWERS! 

When it comes to May and flowers here in Ohio, my first thought is always Lilacs! They're in full bloom right now and just so happen to be my favorite flower on the planet! This pretty stamp from Impression Obsession sums it up perfectly. It was stamped, Copic colored the cut with an Altenew plate. A simple sentiment tab from Memory Box was all it needed. 

I hope you find time to play along with us this week. I think our gallery will be blooming with prettiness!
