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!

Poppystamps

I have a post on the Poppystamps blog today! 

Pop over to see what else I added to this thank you card.

 

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!

CAS Christmas ~ Joy

Hey there! It's my turn to host over at CAS Christmas and I've picked the theme of WOODLAND CRITTERS. I hope you'll break out those cute little animals and come play along with us. You have the whole month of September to get crafty! I knew just the cutie little critter I wanted to use. Take a look...

Sweet little Birch by Purple Onion Design was my critter of choice. I love this little fella! He's just the cutest wee rabbit in his striped stocking cap. After some Copic coloring and fussy cutting, I put him in a CAS scene with a couple of retired Poppystamps Dimpled Trees. This older sentiment from PPP worked perfectly as a place to stand or ground Birch. A trio of wintery snowflakes and it was good to go. 

We do hope you'll join us this month. Just remember to use a woodland critter and keep your design clean and simple. Thanks for spending a bit of your day with me... and Birch!

FMS ~ Peace on Earth

After a long walk with my hubby this evening, I put together a quick card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I couldn't let Michele's cute sketch slip by without playing along and I can always use an extra Christmas card!

I wanted to use my favorite Waffle Flower Poinsettia for this one. It was cut from red cardstock and popped onto two (old!) Spellbinders postage die cuts. A sentiment tab by Memory Box and it was good to go. I love this one and I hope the gals at FMS do too!

Wishing you all a blessed weekend!
