Just Us Girls Challenge #737 - Anything Stencil - Tropical Friends Parrot Hello (Spellbinders)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #737 where stencils are the focus.
Once again, we're delighted to have Cat joining us as our inspiring July Guest Designer.

Even though I have full-on bird terror, it's hard to resist Spellbinders' adorable Tropical Friends parrot. Definitely a cutie, perched on his leaves and set atop a stenciled leafy background. 


Looking forward to your stencil sensations filling the gallery.

Thank you for dropping by!

Color Hues Challenge #91 - Red & Green - Festive Bouquet Poinsettia Merry Christmas (TH, ASD, Spellbinders)

Hello

Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #91, where Sheri, our hostess, invites us to use hues of Red and Green as inspiration for the next two weeks. Christmas in July certainly comes to mind, as do a variety of other themes/occasions. 

On a bittersweet note, Hannelie is stepping down from the design team after this challenge, to pursue other paths on her creative journey. Thank you so much for being a wonderful inspiration over the past four years. You will be very much misses here but...we know where to find you and your fabulous CAS designs. 

We are delighted to have Rosemary joining us as our Guest Designer.

A combination of companies' products came out to play for my Christmas card: Festive Bouquet, from Tim Holtz, Snowflake cover plate from Alex Syberia Designs, and a foiled sentiment from Spellbinders.  Even though I've had the Festive Bouquet in my collection for quite a while, this is the first time I've made a red poinsettia with it. Need to make more! 


Looking forward to seeing how Red and Green inspire you.

The challenge will remain open until July 29th at 9 AM!

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.

Just Us Girls Challenge #735 - Word Week - Summertime - Sending Hugs and Good Vibes Sunglasses (Concord and 9th Bright Eyes, TE sentiment, MCT paper)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #735, where our lovely hostess, Carol Mc, has selected SUMMERTIME as the theme for Word Week. Summer pastimes, summer activities, summer clothing...plenty of choices and directions to spark your creativity.

Once again, we're delighted to have Cat joining us as our July Guest Designer.

We've been having a heat wave here in Alberta: hot temperatures, bright blue skies, blazing sun. I'm not a fan of the heat - anything beyond 18C melts me (and our mini schnauzer, Lily) - but I do love stylish sunglasses and found a fabulous card here that sparked inspiration. Concord * 9th's Bright Eyes for the shades, assorted papers from MCT and a TE sentiment: happy to have found this simple recipe for making a card when I'm melting! LOL! 


Looking forward to seeing your summer sensations in the gallery.

Thank you for dropping by!
