Just Us Girls #803

It's our final challenge of the year at Just Us Girls! The team will be taking the month of December off. New challenges will begin again on Thursday January 1st. I would like to send out a big thank you to Leslie Miller for being our guest designer this past month. It's been a real treat having you with us, Leslie! 

 Okay, it's stencil week... anything goes, have fun!

My card base was stenciled with pink snowflakes... wouldn't that be a delightful sight! Next came a strip of MB plaid paper topped with some vellum scallops and a little strip of silver metallic paper. I topped it off with an arched sentiment from The Greetery. Before adhering the Merry Christmas portion of the sentiment, I stenciled on a couple more snowflakes using the same ink, just going a tad darker this time.

It's your turn now, my friends. You don't have to make a Christmas card, unless you need more like I do! Just pick a stencil and come play along!

Thanks!

Brace yourselves... this one might be a little busy. Well, the hubs thinks so! Maybe it's my Robitussin buzz! But you know, I think I kind of like it. He didn't care for the patterned poinsettias, but I think they're fun! I'll let you all be the judge. I put this one together for The Flower Challenge using The Color Hues Challenge colors of teal and silver.

I couldn't let the season go by without using my favorite Waffle Flower poinsettias. I cut them from some old October Afternoon paper, layered each one up then added silver rhinestones to their centers. I used pretty silver cardstock from The Stamp Market for my Altenew sentiment as well as the little Simply Graphic pine sprigs. A postal frame borders the embossed pine in the background. 

Off this goes to both galleries. 

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the get well wishes. 

Bronchitis just doesn't know when to give up!

Just Us Girls #802

When I saw Carol's Mood Board for Just Us Girls, I had so many ideas pop into my head! Then I remembered a card I had seen on Pinterest. I'm sorry I don't know who created it, but this is my take on it!

Do you remember the PTI Love Lives Here: Holiday set? It's an oldie but a goodie! I thought the hearts and stars elements in the set were a good match for Carol's photo. I stamped the greenery twice to created the garland. Next came the ornaments. I decorated the garland with hearts and teeny tiny stars. It all went together very quickly. My trusty ME mat set was the perfect way to frame it!

I can't wait to see our gallery this week, it's sure to be a dandy one! How will Carol's Mood Board inspire you? Better get busy!
