Just Us Girls #747 ~ Thankful


Hey there! It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. It's also a new month and that means we have a new guest designer. Welcome, Kerry Parkinson, we're happy to have you joining us!

This is color week and I'm hosting! I had an old piece of October Afternoon (remember them?) paper in my stash that gave me a pretty color combination to pass along to you. Here's what I've done with it.

Using a PPP die, I cut a stitched banner than adhered it to a rustic cream card base. When reaching for my PPP fall dies, I found the leaf and pumpkin already cut from chartreuse paper! I added one more leaf to the collection then topped things off with WF sentiments. A few little rhinestones completed the picture. 

I love the way this turned out and I love this paper! I hope I've inspired you to join us this week. Thanks for stopping by!

Perfect paper with the colors! Fabulous card

I can see why that paper prompted you to choose the colors for our challenge, Lisa. They are wonderful. I just love the argyle as the stage for your wonderful pumpkin and leaves. This is a wonderful card!

I DO remember them and undoubtedly have a few 'hoarded' pieces of my own - but not this beauty! Lisa, this is a fabulous color combo and darling Fall card! [I'm thankful for you, too! x]

Looks like you had a far more productive September than I did with the card making Lisa - some absolute beauties, including this one. I used to love October Afternoon - I have lots of little pieces in my paper stash that I can't bear to part with!

I just love your argyle and stitches, Lisa! It looks like a sunny day in the pumpkin patch. I do remember October Afternoon and still have most of a pad in The Vast Hoard.

So glad you had that paper for color inspiration, Lisa. It looks wonderful with the pumpkin.
