Just Us Girls Challenge #842 - Stencil Week - Leaf Frame Happy Birthday (Better Press Society - Leaf Frame)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #842 - Stencil Week. Bring out your stencils and play along with us.

We're delighted to have Julia Aston joining us as our September Guest Designer. Thank you, Julia, for sharing your creativity and inspiration with us this month.

I've brought out my Better Press Society Leaf Frame and accompanying stencil for the challenge. The leaves are lovely in any colour; here I just used 'leftover' ink from an assortment of my blending brushes. In this case, a little went a long way in giving the leaves two-tone colours. Spellbinders' nesting dies and cardstock created the placeholder for the sentiment, along with a trio of matchy-matchy enamel dots.

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from our Guest Designer and my talented teammates. 

Looking forward to seeing which stencils you'll be highlighting.

Thank you for dropping by!

Color Hues Challenge #141 - Purple & Artichoke - Monstrously Fun Wishes (Craft-o-ween)

Hello,

Middle of the month (already!) and time for a new Colour Hues Challenge. For Challenge #141, Sheri invites us to play with hues of Purple and Artichoke for the next two weeks. So many possibilities with this combination, as you've seen on the main blog.

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

Artichoke and purple speak "Halloween" to me which, clearly, is the direction I went. My cutie-patootie cyclops "monster" - from Spellbinders' Craft-o-ween kit from last year - had to come out for a play. He's adorable, isn't he - and how cool that his jack o' lantern treat bucket is sporting a similar look. 

Please visit the main blog to see wonderful inspiration from Amanda and my talented teammates.

Looking forward to seeing your Purple and Artichoke creations filling the gallery.

Thank you for dropping by!

Inkspirational Challenge #376 - Word Prompt - Furry Friends - Mini Schnauzer Wishing You A Beautiful Day (Unity Stamp Co., Photo Play)

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #376. For the next two weeks (Sept. 12 - 25), we invite you draw inspiration from our Word Prompt: FURRY FRIENDS! Lets bring out our images of dogs, cats, sheep, llamas, lions, tigers, monkeys sloths, even abominable snowmen - anything that's 'furry' and give them a starring role on our cards/projects. 

As many of you know, my furry bestie - and treasured girl - is Lily, my mini schnauzer. I love her x infinity!!

When a local Canadian crafting store brought in this stamp from Unity, it was a pretty easy decision to bring it into my collection. Seriously, how cute is this mini! Nearly as cute as my Lily!  I paired this gatefold card with a dog-themed collection from Photo Play that I've had for a while. 

Here's the inside.

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

Which Furry Friend will you bring to the gallery?
Excited to see! 

Thank you for dropping by!

Just Us Girls Challenge #840 - Word Week - BOLD - Starlit Star Christmas (Chloe's Creative)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #840 where our hostess, Ina, has selected BOLD as inspiration for Word Week. Plenty of ways to interpret this - and we're excited to see how you do so.

Once again, we're delighted to have Julia Aston joining us as our September Guest Designer.

My take on BOLD features products from a new to me company from the UK - Chloe's Creative Cards, specifically: the Starlit Star (die and background stamp which I embossed with gold embossing powder),  the Starlit Foiled Paper Collection and the Starlit Merry and Bright stamp set (also gold embossed).
The size of this star/stamp -  as well as others I've purchased - are much larger than what I'm accustomed to - and I'm quite smitten with the BOLD statement they make on a card. This one is 5 x 7; the samples that inspired me were nearly 8 x 6!  

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from Julia and the rest of my talented team.
Looking forward to see your BOLD cards/projects filling the gallery.
