Just Us Girls #329 - Word Week

This time at Just Us Girls it's Word Week.  Vicki is our hostess and she has chosen the word Valentine as our inspiration.

We are, also, welcoming Pamellia Johnson as our Guest Designer for the month of February. Welcome, Pamellia!  Be sure to drop by her blog and leave some love.



I feel like I have been playing catch up for a month now.  My mom has been in and out of the hospital twice in the month of January with renal failure.  They are still trying to figure out what is going on with her.  I've had to turn my attention elsewhere and haven't gotten in much crafting time. I usually work several challenges ahead and now I am barely making the cut.  I hope things improve soon.

I started with an embossing folder from Darice called Hearts Diagonal and made my background using Kraft card stock.  Then I went crazy with some fun dies from Reverse Confetti.   The heart paper is one of their new All Heart Quick Card Panels.  The "love" die I cut three times in black and one time in black glitter paper and layered them.

Please visit the Just Us Girls blog to see the beautiful cards the rest of the team and our GD, Pamellia, have made this week.  I hope you will be inspired and come play along.

If you win Chic of the Week in any of our February challenges, you will be in the running to be chosen as our Guest Designer for the month of April.  Good luck!
