Just Us Girls Challenge #849 - Word Week: MERRY - Merry Christmas (Uniquely Creative)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #849 where, as hostess, I've selected MERRY as our Word Week inspiration.

Plenty of possibilities with this little word, especially with the festive season quickly drawing closer. Think holiday cheer, joyful colours, merry moments, the word 'merry' itself stamped or die cut or perhaps you have something a little unexpected in mind. As long as your project conveys *merry* in some fashion, you're on the right track.

Once again, we're delighted to have Jane Delén joining us as our November Guest Designer. 

I'm showcasing "Merry" with a fun fold card featuring Uniquely Creative products. I'm smitten with the poinsettias, the pretty patterned paper and the font of the Merry Christmas die cut.

The card opens into two more sections.

Here's the 'first' inside view...

and the 'second' inside once the card is fully open.

I so enjoyed making this card; a fold that I'll be using again very soon.

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous creations by Jane and my talented teammates.

Excited to see how MERRY inspires you!

Thank you for dropping by!

AAA Cards Challenge #327 - 1 + 1 Challenge - Autumn - Stitched Pumpkin Thank You

Hello,

Welcome to AAA Cards Challenge #327 where we have a 1 + 1 Autumn theme to inspire you for the next two weeks.  The concept is simple: your card should feature at least one of 'autumn' suggestions from those in the graphic below, namely: Thanksgiving, Nature, Colours, Pumpkins.

I cross-stitched a pumpkin, using a pattern and embroidery hoop dies from Lawn Fawn. It's so cute and not difficult to stitch at all.

Please visit the main blog to see my teammates' fabulous takes on the sketch.
Looking forward to seeing how it inspires you.

A reminder that we're looking for Clean and Simple designs; you can find the description of what that means here.

Inkspirational Challenge #380 - Word Prompt - Christmas Florals and Greenery - Seasons Greeting and Joy (49 and Market Evergreen Season Botanical Rub-ons) )

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #380. 

With many of us happily immersed (or, in my case, panic-immersed LOL!) in making our Christmas cards and projects, we decided we'd love to see some of your dazzling creations featuring CHRISTMAS FLORALS and GREENERY.

Poinsettias, Christmas roses, winter berries, mistletoe, frosty fir branches, pine cones...so many possibilities to inspire you and, in turn, us.

Last December, I bought 49 and Market's Evergreen Season Botanical Rub-ons and just now, have finally brought them out for a focused play. I didn't realize that rub-ons can be layered over one another, so imagine my delight when my 'let's try this' turned into 'I'm delighted with this.' In fact, I was so delighted that I made a second card! 

Poinsettias, pine cones, fir branches, berries: Christmas Flowers and Greenery achieved! 

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from my talented teammates.

Excited to see a gallery filled with YOUR Christmas Florals and Greenery!

Thank you for dropping by!

Just Us Girls Challenge #848 - Use a Die Week - ACORN DIE - Stitched Acorn Hello (Poshta Design)

Hello, 

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #848 - Use A Die Week. For this challenge, Lisa, our hostess, would like to see ACORN DIES featured on your cards/projects. Such a cool idea for a fall themed card and certainly different from the usual leaves + pumpkins.

A new month means a new guest designer. Joining us for November is Jane Delén who is sure to delight us with her wonderful creativity. 

I've transformed my Poshta Design Mighty Acorn dies from a felt showcase to a paper one, complete with some stitching.  It sure makes a statement, doesn't it! LOL!  

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from our guest and my fabulous team.

Looking forward to seeing how you'll be incorporating ACORN DIES on your cards/projects.

Just a reminder: to be in the running for a Winner/Shout Out, we must see evidence of an ACORN DIE on your card/project. 

Thank you for dropping by!

Color Hues Challenge #144 - Red & Green - Celebrate the Season Poinsettias (Chloe's Creative)

Hello,

November 1st: time to welcome you to Colour Hues Challenge #144, where our hostess, Bonnie, invites us to play with hues of Red and Green for the next two weeks. Traditional Christmas colours, right? Or perhaps this combination speaks to you in other ways. Whatever the case, plenty of fun to be had with this duo.

We're delighted to have Vikki H. joining us as our Guest Designer.

My Chloe's Creative Cards Poinsettias collection is on display today. I've used red and green vellum for the poinsettias, with the top layer heat embossed in silver. The background, in the aperture, is embossed with the coordinating folder from the collection. Sparkly rhinestones and a Spellbinders glimmered sentiment are the finishing touches for this very Christmassy card.

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from our guest and my talented teammates.
Looking forward to a gallery filled with beautiful reds and greens.

The challenge will be open until November 14th at 9:00am EST.

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall

 winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.

Thank you for dropping by!

Welcome to AAA Birthday Challenge #91. Last month, our theme was Big and Bold; this month...yes, you guessed it...we're going with SMALL and DAINTY.  Let's celebrate birthdays with things that are tiny, delicate and...delightful.

Just Us Girls Challenge #847 - CASE a Design Team Member - Happy Haunting and Halloween Ghost Frame (Halloween Wishes - SCT)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #847 where - because October has 5 weeks - we're inviting you to participate in our CASE a Design Team Member Challenge. We create what we want; you draw inspiration from one of our cards and create a new - or copied, which is totally fine - version of your own. 
Please share in your description who you CASE-d and what spins you've made in your take.

Yep..another card featuring the cute ghost from Scrapbook and Cards Today's Halloween Wishes collection; clearly I'm taking full advantage that we still have two days to Halloween! 

A simple recipe:
a. colour blocked background embossed with a Taylored Expressions ghosts folder
b. witchy ghost with a boo banner
c. Halloween sentiment.

Halloween images, colours, layout...plenty to inspire if you should decide to CASE my card - and I'll be very much honoured if you do!

Please visit the main blog where you'll see plenty of inspiring delights from my talented teammates.
Excited to see who you'll be CASE-ing. 

Thank you for dropping by!
