Just Us Girls #163

| Published 11.17.2012


Helloooo JUGS fans!

Our sweet Maria's got a fall-inspired color challenge this week over at Just Us Girls...



And here's my card...




Although my temptation was to do something with pumpkins, I went in a little different direction. I bought the Banner Builders set from PTI a while back (quite a while back) but have never used it...EVER. There it sat, uninked and unloved. I thought I would use it a ton when I purchased it, but I seem to be a bit stupefied by it - I want to use it but I have trouble coming up with concepts for it. Anywho, finally I had the chance to show it a little love.

Make sure to check out the JUGS blog to see what the other amazing ladies have put together!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Just Us Girls #157: Sketch Challenge

| Published 10.06.2012



Happy weekend to you all!

It's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and we're excited to spend some time with family, eating yumminess :) What are your plans for the weekend?

It's time for a new challenge over at JUGS; time to get sketchy.


Here's my take;


As fall is in full swing, I wanted to go with a rustic sort of color scheme. I did a few negative die cuts in orange card stock then stamped gingham in yellow underneath. The woodgrain dry embossing is one of my all time fabs and I just had to dig it out again. I love this rustic twine too and thought it would compliment the colors well. Pardon the pictures; I left my camera at work so these were taken with my handy dandy iPhone ;)

I hope you find time to play along! Make sure to swing by the JUGS blog to see what the lovely JUGheads have whipped up :)

CR84FN #63

| Published 9.16.2012



How about another beautiful CR84FN color challenge?!


No watercolors this time :) 


Instead I used pretty blue, stripy, patterned paper and stamped a sentiment on top. The patterned paper is backed by chocolate cardstock, all placed on top of embossed kraft cardstock. I added a little, tan heart to finish it off.

Make sure to swing by CR84FN and see what the AMAZING DT has whipped up!

Happy weekend to you all! 

Time for a new CR84FN color challenge and these colors are AMAZING! I just LOVE them :)


This is a combo you could use any time of year. Truly. Summer, fall…even Christmas time. Seriously fantastic, non-traditional Christmas colors. Wait, I'm talking about Christmas…already! Never to early to start thinking about it I guess ;)

Here's my take on these delicious colors.


I have been getting good milage out of the Mat Stack 3 die (from Papertrey Ink) lately. I can't seem to put it down. Just one of those things, and I'll run with it :)

Check out all the gorgeous DT samples over at the CR84FN blog, including our guest designer for the month, Monika.

CR84FN #43

Check out the new, cozy CR84FN #42 challenge colors!!! So many possibilities!


I've been deriving a lot of inspiration from other crafters as of late, and this one is no exception. Maile Belles posted THIS CARD a little while ago and I feel immediately in love! I knew I had to CASE it. I'm also entering this card in the Buttons Galore and More Christmas Card/Tag Party.


I embossed the Tree Trimming die on kraft, stamped the tree image then cut off the left side of the card stock. I stamped a few snowflakes on the base then stamped and embossed the sentiment on the top. I dunno why but I really feel uncomfortable stamping the sentiment up there! How weird is that?!?! It sorta makes me twitch…Funny huh? Or just plain scary LOL!

CR84FN #40 Refresher

Stopping in with a quick post - a refresher of the CR84FN challenge colors :)


And here's take two of these most fabulous colors...


While browsing a while back, I saw a photo of off-set canvases of different sizes hanging on a wall. Wish I remembered where I saw it! That was the inspiration for this card. So the idea for this card had been banging around in my old noggin for a while - I was so excited to implement it. When I sat down to make it, the translation from idea to reality didn't go so smoothly. I played with different backgrounds and layouts before finally deciding to simplify. Good ol' white space :)

Time for a new DeNami Product Spotlight!

We also have a new guest designer joining us for the month of October - please help us give a huge, DeNami welcome to Tammy Hobbs!!! Welcome Tammy!!! We're so happy to have you and your fabulous creative talents on board for the month!!!


In the spotlight this month we have lovely wheat stalks. I really love this image - it really is so versatile in that it can be a focal image or makes for a great background!


I used the following DeNami Products on this card;
Our lovely spotlight stamp - Wheat stalks
Pumpkin Patch Border
Thankful for You

I started by stamping the wheat stalks on patterned yellow DP in Tea Dye Distress Ink. Then I sponged the distress ink around the edges. I fussy cut two of the pumpkins from the pumpkin border after coloring them with Copics. Pretty CAS but I sure did like the end result :) 

REMEMBER: The featured DeNami Stamp is 10% off for one week!!!

Make sure to see what the rest of the amazing DeNami DT as well as Tammy Hobbs, our guest designer for the Month of October, have in store!
