Just Us Girls #828 ~ Wishing you the best day

 

If you're a flower lover, this week's challenge at Just Us Girls is for you! Denise has given us a pretty Mood Board with a great mix of blooms and colors. I picked a few of the colors and whipped up this little number for you. 

I used the pretty Be Fearless press plate, stencil and die set by Pinkfresh Studio. I created a wreath of sorts with a PPP Scallop circle die to arrange the blooms on. A PPP label die holds my sentiment. Everything was popped onto a floral embossed panel sent to me by my sweet friend, Greta.

This gallery is sure to be a pretty one, hope your card is in it!

Just Us Girls #827 ~ You're Sweet

Hello, my friends! It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. Vicki is hosting word week and she's looking for SUMMER on your cards!

This sweet little girl in her polka dot bathing suit makes an appearance on my blog just about every summer. She's too cute not to share! This time she went onto a PTI tag set. The pink lemonade paper seemed a perfect fit. Homemade lemonade is a must for those hot summer days! Everything went onto a white card base and was topped off with a polka dot bow (TSM) and a few little rhinestones. 

What kind of summer goodies do you have in your stash? I can't wait to see what you make. You are playing along, aren't you?

Peek a boo... this sweet little bunny is peeking out with birthday wishes over on the Poppystamps blog today! Pop over to see what else went onto the card I created for my cousin.

Just Us Girls #826 ~ Wishing you...

 

Hi there! We're happy to have a new guest designer joining us for the month of June at Just Us Girls. Welcome Kellianne! Carol is looking for BUTTERFLY DIES this week. I had several to choose from but finally decided on this little cutie from The Stamp Market.

After pulling some patterned paper from my stash, I cut two strips with a PPP border die. They went onto the horizontal card base followed by a sentiment from The Rubber Cottage. The sweet polka dot butterfly was adhered next and I gave her a little pearl head. Cute, huh!

Okay, what butterfly will you pick out to use? 

When you decide, be sure it flutters into our gallery!

CAS Christmas begins again!

In case you haven't heard, my sweet friend, the fabulous Loll Thompson, has decided to start her CAS Christmas challenge up again! She also invited me back to the design team ~ YAY! The challenge launches today with Loll being our hostess with the mostess. First up: BIRD.

My card began with a pretty dove die cut.

The dove die cut (Memory Box, I think!) was sent to me by a friend. I added some Copic coloring to the bird, along with a bead for the eye, and nestled her into my stamped PTI Rustic Wreath. The sentiment, also from the wreath set, was stamped in PTI Autumn Rose ink. I added several more little dots to the wreath using this ink as well. A few Simply Graphic pine branches helped to ground the bird along with some punched dots. Simple and pretty. The hubs loved it!

Okay friend, it's your turn now. It's never too early to start working on that Christmas card stash and this challenge is a great way to get you motivated. Pop over to the blog for more inspiration from the team along with all of the challenge details. Thanks so much for stopping by!
