Just Us Girls #815

 

Hi, friends! Are you ready for a new challenge at Just Us Girls? Carol has a fun vibrant photo for us this week. I had so many ideas, but had to go with a more simple card since my time is quite limited just now. I'm still on the fence about it, but the hubs really liked it! Take a look...

I knew my cute Nordic Pretty Petal Flower by Poppystamps would work perfectly. Two aqua cardstocks were used and I popped it onto a shimmery gray panel cut with a SSS cover plate. My favorite hugs sentiment from Impression Obsession provided me with a sentiment. A trio of tiny blooms from the same Poppystamps die set were added to pull the pinks together. 

Okay, my friends, it's your turn now. How does Carol's fun photo inspire you? Need more inspiration? Head over to the JUGs blog to see the marvelous makes the team has to share!

I think I'll link this one up at The Paper Players for the CAS Floral challenge!

Easter Blessings

WOWEE did the wind ever BLOW here yesterday! We heard sirens all day long. Luckily we never lost power. Lots of debris on the roads. March sure has been a crazy month for weather around here. You just never know what you're going to wake up to! 

Anywho... how about a card? I have one for Freshly Made Sketches where my sweet friend Michele has given us a fun sketch to use this week.

I inked up the ever so sweet Rejoice Rabbit by Waffle Flower. I thought about using the entire image, but it seemed too large for Michele's sketch. So I used just her pretty little head! She's framed with a scalloped oval by PPP. The leafy sprigs I tucked in where cut using a die from The Stamp Market. Finally, little embossed spring buds for the background.

Off we go to the gallery. Have a great weekend!

Just Us Girls #814 ~ Hi, Sweet Friend!

 

It's WORD week at Just Us Girls and Bobby has chosen EMBOSS. Embossing folders, embossing powders... what to do, what to do! I went with embossing folders. Take a look...

When reaching for an old favorite doily embossing folder, I found I already had a piece of embossed white cardstock left in the folder from a previous project. So, I set out to frame it. This sweet frame (Fab Framed Die) by The Stamp Market was just the ticket. I added some of the cute little flowers included in the die set and one of their sentiments (Stamp N Cut Love Notes) too. The background embossing folder (Allover Stitches) is by Penny Black.

This is the first card I've made in a few weeks. All of my DT projects where done while we snuggled in surrounded by deep snow. My mom was in the hospital again for a few days and then a couple of weeks in a rehab facility for physical and occupational therapy. She's coming home today! We've been taking my dad each day to visit and taking care of his meals. Lots of doctor appointments for both of them has kept us busy too. 

It felt good to get crafty. Visiting your blogs in the evening brings me inspiration too! Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!

Hi there! It's my turn to post over at Poppystamps. I hope you have a minute to stop by to see how I turned this into an Easter card!

Just Us Girls #813 ~ Good Luck!

 

Hey there! I'm back today with a card for our Just Us Girls challenge. Sue is kicking off the month of March as our hostess for DIE WEEK and we have Milla joining us as our guest designer! I made a fun shaker card. I think we'll give this one to Sweet P to wish her luck on the chess tournament she has coming up next week!

I used a pretty Rounded Rectangle Frame by The Stamp Market to create the shaker. All of the pieces where cut from green cardstock and kept intact. It's backed with PP and filled with sequins and confetti from Pretty Pink Posh. My shamrock was made from Poppystamps hearts and a swirl for the stem. A DeNami sentiment was stamped on a PPP tag and everything popped onto a sweet embossed panel. 

There you go! We hope you'll join us for our challenge this week. There's more inspiration waiting for you on the Just Us Girls blog!

*EDIT* it just dawned on me that this works for the Color Hues challenge! I'll be adding this to their gallery.
