Hello,
Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #460~Wild Card Week, where our wonderful Angie has selected STRIPES to inspire us. Horizontal, vertical, diagonal...bring on those stripes!
Recently, my local retailer - scrapshotz - had a sale on her Simple Stories products. Her inventory included a variety of items from the Crafty Girl collection and, even though I've strayed away from patterned papers and have never - prior to this - used stickers or pre-made chipboard, I was smitten! I've already made four cards with this 'kit'...and the stripes challenge ensured another two to be made...
Another card for my sweet, crafty niece...
and another (I decided 'plaid' = stripes). I'm going to pepper Ms T with 'crafty girl' cards!!
For sensational STRIPES creations, please visit my fabulous design team - Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa, Maria - and our super talented September Guest Designer, Julie Beech.
Looking forward to seeing your interpretations of the STRIPES (whatever direction/s they may be) in the gallery.

Great use of the DP Carol, I really should go through my v ancient collection and either use or chuck.
ReplyDeleteWe had our first frost of the year last night, typically my OH ignored my comment that he might want to cover up his last batch of pointing. He was rather sheepish this morning when the roof was white! :)
Your wonderful use of the fun pattern paper means you need to use more! ;) These cards are simply delightful. Your sweet niece is one lucky, lucky girl to have such a wonderful auntie. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThose faces are adorable, Carol. No wonder you were smitten with the set.
