Just Us Girls #327 - Photo Week

This time at Just Us Girls it's Photo Week.  Sharyn here and I am your hostess for this week's challenge.  I've chosen a fun photo for your inspiration.

I hope everyone in the blizzard zone is safe and warm during this storm.  Maybe a little time for crafting.....just saying!

There is a lot of inspiration in this photo.  I hope you will come and play along.  I drew my inspiration from the yellow and blue colors and the anchor.  I started with a stamp set from Gina K. Designs and used the anchor stamp to make my background.  I stamped the anchors in GKD Sweet Corn and Blue Denim.  Then I pulled out some dies and a stamp from Reverse Confetti to create the band and sentiment.  The anchor is a die from Momenta that I embossed with Liquid Platinum embossing powder.

Please visit the Just Us Girls blog to see the wonderful cards the rest of the team and our Guest Designers, Deepti and Vicki, have made this week.

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

Just Us Girls #276 - Color Week

This week at Just Us Girls it's Color Week!  Maria is hosting and she has chosen Blue, Orange and Green as our colors.

Here's my card

This card was a labor of love.  I'm giving it to my husband on January 20th when we will be celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary.  My how the time flies!  When I saw this color combo, I started looking through some of my patterned paper and I got very lucky to find a pack that featured green, orange & blue.  Mine has two shades of blue, one navy and one aqua.  I hope that will be alright with Maria. After Christmas, The Cat's Pajamas had a big sale and I was able to pick up this fun ticket set and die. I really love this and know I will find lots of uses for it.  The tag die is from Reverse Confetti and the numbers are from PTI.  

Please stop by the Just Us Girls blog to see the wonderful cards the rest of the team and our GD, Judy Woodland,  have made this week.  I hope you will be inspired and come play along!

Just Us Girls #254 - Color Week

This week at Just Us Girls it's Color Week, and Sue V. has chosen lime, navy and neutrals.  I really like this combo.  It is very refreshing!

I decided to pull out a Gina K. Designs  frame set called Fun Year Round to make a quick thank you card. I paired it with some patterned paper from the GKD Journey of the Heart paper pack.  I love to paper piece and decided to paper piece four of the circles.  The other circles were filled in with stamps from the same set.  I added some We R Memory Keepers twine and two GKD In the Navy buttons.

Please visit the Just Us Girls blog to see the beautiful cards the rest of the team and our Guest Designer, Kristie Goulet, have created this week.  I hope you will be inspired and play along with us.  We would love to see how you are inspired by this fun color combo.
