I'm soooo excited! Why? Because for the next five Saturdays, I have the honour of guest designing over at Just Us Girls! Woo hooooo! I've had a sneaky peek of all the challenges, and I'm telling you...they are fabulous! You'll definitely be inspired to 'get your crafting on' and design a card or two to join us in the gallery!
This first challenge - Just Us Girls Challenge #350~Word Week: Summer - couldn't be more timely, because as of today, I am on summer holiday! Wild happy dancing!
Ahhhh yes, summer, and with it thoughts of...palm trees, sunshine, blue skies, beaches, iced drinks with umbrella-shaped swizzle sticks, flowers and...sun-tanning penguins! That's where my mind went...a chance to play with MFT Penguins in Paradise. Isn't that little guy the cutest? His shades are glitzed up with glossy accents (as is the hibiscus in his drink) to add to the cool factor. A combination of sponging, inking, die-cutting and polychromos pencil colouring...
Immense fun making this little dude!
Now, your turn!
How will you be inspired by *Summer*? Flip flops? Swim suits? Sun-and-sand? Summer travel destinations? Cool icy treats ? Oh, the possibilities!!
Looking forward to finding out; see you in the Just Us Girls gallery!
To the JUGS DT: THANK YOU so much for inviting me to play alongside you this month!
Thank you for spending part of your day with me; your visit brings me immense joy!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your GDT spot! I'll try to play along - time permitting....Hey, penguins are BIRDS - what's he doing on one of your cards???But - He is cute, so I guess he's allowed ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't think of a better person for them to ask to be GDT for this month! Your card is just darling Carol! I love the way you have colored everything. I swear it looks like you have used Copic markers! Those polychromos pencils must be amazing to work with! Or else I need someone to show me how to blend with colored pencils. lol Anyway, congrats on your guest DT spot, can think of anyone better to be this month's designer! Hugs, Brenda
