Just Us Girls Challenge #495~Word Week...Smiles

Hello,

Waving from a wet-and-rainy Alberta...still! We haven't had a rain-free or totally sunny day since the beginning of June. My wee tomato plants are not happy!  Anyway...

Welcome to  Just Us Girls Challenge #495~Word Week, where our lovely Angie is inviting us to use smiles on - or create smiles with - our cards/projects! Smiles...delightfully contagious!


We're thrilled to welcome Emma Delfosse as our July guest designer once again. Please visit her, as well as my teammates - Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa and Maria - who would love to know you dropped by.

I'm currently obsessing over Pinkfresh Studio products (collection growing rather rapidly (need.to.get.control!), so I brought out three dies to make today's card, that was 110% inspired by and a  case of those designed by Laura Bassen (of course, hers are far prettier with her added touches): Geo Star 1 and 2, paired with a Smile die cut. Zero stamping!  


Since I had everything out, I made a second...


Over to you...

Looking forward to smiling at your SMILE creations in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

First, These are just as lovely as Lauras!! I have been intrigued by cover plate dies as of late too! I am trying to resist! You aren't helping one bit! Love the glittery Smile!

Nora Noll said...

These are so pretty!! I LOVE the soft colors you used and those cover plates rock!!

Sue VanDeVusse said...

Both versions are gorgeous! Love the beautiful soft colors and your big, sparkly Smile. Like Nancy, I have been really trying to resist getting any of these because I know they will become my latest addiction!
