Just Us Girls #762 ~ Hello, Friend

Ready for a new challenge at Just Us Girls? Ina is our hostess for word week and she's looking for FRIEND cards! I had some ready made bits and bobs in my stash that let me put this one together pretty easily. Take a look...

The little bird is and old SU! set I no longer have. I think it was a stamp and punch set. That leafy branch was part of the punch... I think! My pretty little silver leaves are metal. I picked them up a a local scrapbook store a long time ago. Same goes for that sweet gingham flower. I popped this all onto a card base embossed with an EF I bought at JoAnn last summer. I think this is the first time I've used it! I like the way it matches the stamping on the PTI Mat Stack die cut. I think this turned out kind of cute! 

Okay, how will the word FRIEND inspire you? 

I can't wait to find out!

Just Us GIrls #736 ~ May All Good Things...

Well hello! Are you ready for a new challenge at Just Us Girls?

Bobby has a pretty Mood Board for us this week.

Here's how I was inspired.

I spotted the pinwheels and remembered a little strip of paper in my stash. I paired it with another snippet of gingham, both added to an aqua panel. Next up was my cutie little girl in her polka dot swimsuit. She's on a woodblock stamp that comes out every year, but I do love her so! I gave her a simple white framing using a PPP die then added a fun old SU sentiment. I like the way it's curves flow along the bottom of the frame!

I look forward to seeing how Bobby's Mood Board inspires you. I just know your card is going to look great in our gallery!

May all good things come your way!

 

Hey there sweet peeps! I'm popping in with a little cutie for a couple of challenges before heading out to the grocery store. I see big bucks being spent today... sheesh!

This little fella by Art Gone Wild always makes me smile! He'll be driving his way over to the Tic Tac Toe challenge (center line: car, free, sentiment) and Seize the Birthday. This was quick and simple with a little Copic coloring and a pair of die cuts. 

 

Hope you have a great day!

Guesting at Twofer!

Hello and welcome! I'm super excited to be a guest designer with the fabulous Twofer Card Challenge design team! What a fun challenge this month too... it's {trees}! Sooooo many possibilities. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I happen to have a favorite tree stamp in my stash that I've had for many years. It's by Memory Box. Here's card #1 using this pretty row of Linden trees!

 
I stamped the trees and sentiment (SU) in kraft ink then gave a light wash of color with my Copics. The sweet little church is a PTI die cut.

 
Those tree tops have become a caterpillar on card #2! Isn't she fun? She's hanging out in the strawberry patch. A little selective inking was done for her head then I drew the antenna. I added black rhinestones too. The sentiment is on oldie by SU. I love how whimsical this card is. Hubby liked it too! 

 
Thanks ever so much for stopping by today. And a big thank you to Darnell for having me as her guest! The Twofer challenge runs through the 24th so you have lots of time to put that thinking cap on and join us!
