Just Us Girls Challenge #481~Wild Card Week...Thank You for Making My Day Sparkle

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #481~Wild Card Week, where our wonderful Sue invites us to use embossing folders. 

We're thrilled to be joined by our talented guest designer, Greta Hess; please visit her, especially since this is our final week with her (sad to see you leave and so very grateful for all your inspiration this month!), as well as my teammates - Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa and Maria - who would love to know you dropped by.

Yes, my obsession with Unicorns Rock by Your Next Stamp continues. *grin*  Star embossing folder as a pairing with 'sparkle'...as does the purple glitter paper behind the speech bubble and under the little cutie pie's feet. I'm not done with these little guys yet!

Over to you...

Looking forward seeing what kinds of embossing folders will fill this week's gallery! 

See you there!

Inkspirational Challenge #183~Word Prompt...Unicorn Magical Day

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #183, where we're inviting you to include clouds in your cards/projects.  Speaking of which...gorgeous spring days this week! Warm weather, blue skies, puffy clouds...love it! Of course, the forecast is for snow today....groan!

If you say my previous couple of posts, it will come as no surprise that *yet again* I'm having fun with my latest 'addiction': Unicorns Rock from Your Next Stamp. Another cutie-patootie (x 3 - inspired by Andrea at Blissfully Scrappy) swinging from a rainbow, over the clouds...

My wonderful teammates have interpreted the prompt in beautiful ways; please visit and leave them some love, which I know will be deeply appreciated:

Marina, Sandie, Shauna, Pia, Marlena, Anila, Nonni and Kylie.

Looking forward to visiting you in the gallery!

Hello,

No St. Patrick's Day card, but one that is filled with a variety of copic-coloured greens (and an 'oops'...the top image should be flipped over to 'properly' frame the sentiment. Oh well...I'll blame it on leprechauns playing games *grin*).

NOTE: Honoured to be selected as one of 5 Top Chick Picks at Krafty Chicks Challenge #446~Shades of Green! THANK YOU!!!

Uniko Studio DT Showcase...So Kind of You

Hi,

Once again, a Uniko Studio DT showcase, where I bring out a few of my Uniko Studio products to give them some extra love! This time, my card was inspired by ultra-talented Kay Miller, with here oh so pretty card here.  Given her's was for a 'case' challenge, I've decided to do precisely that, using some oldies mixed with newbies stamps and dies!

My 'imitation is the greatest form of flattery' creation uses: Flower Power 1, Flower Power 3, Flower Power 8 (sentiment) and Passiflora stamps and dies.

*Casing*...I LOVE it...especially as doing so inspires me to look at my collection with fresh eyes!

Just Us Girls Challenge #479~Colour Week...Thanks

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #479~Colour Week, where our lovely Nancy has selected yellow, purple and teal as this week's inspiration palette. Spring, Easter, or....? Whatever you choose!

Once again, we're thrilled to be joined by your talented guest designer, Greta Hess; please visit her, as well as my teammates - Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa and Maria - who would love to know you dropped by.

Confession: I'm obsessing over Concord and 9th's Turnabout sets. I've collected a few - some of which have yet to be inked (Yikes!) - but with the new alignment sheets and jigs...ohmystars! Game changing! I think said collection will be growing!

For this go-round, bringing out the Many Thanks for a turn-about once...

and twice.  Nothing even remotely novel with this one, as the design is a case from the C&9 site...which is why I bought this stamp/die in the first place. Yep...call me copy cat or rather, flattering with imitation *grin*)

Over to you...

Looking forward seeing what you create with YELLOW, PURPLE & TEAL!

You're Stuck With Me...Just Us Girls Challenge #478~Trend Week

Hello,

Hope you're having a wonderful Saturday. Reminder, for those who 'change the clocks' that we're "springing ahead" early Sunday morning. An hour less sleep; an hour 'more' daylight.  I don't mind the trade off *grin*

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #478~Trend Week, where our lovely Bobby invites us to use a Background Stamp on our cards/projects. 

Our March guest designer is fabulously talented Greta Hess; please visit her, as well as my teammates - Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa and Maria - who would love to know you dropped by.

Finally a change to use the Concord & 9th To the Point turnabout, made super easy (I even used 8 different inks...yayyy me) with the accompanying template and jig.  I LOVE those sweet succulents! So much fun! I'm in cacti heaven!

Over to you...

Looking forward to a gallery filled with an array of amazing background stamping!

Thank you for dropping by!
