Just Us Girls Challenge #552~Word Week....October Birthday (Leaves)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #552, where our lovely Sue has selected *Leaves* as this week's word prompt.  Given that Fall is making its presence known here, this is certainly a timely theme!


A new month means a new guest designer and I'm beside myself excited that we're welcoming my friend and fellow Canadian, Lindsey, to the JUGS family for August! I'm sure you've seen Lindsey's incredible creativity, delightful personality and keen sense-of-humour on many occasions, as she's on several design teams (Seize the Birthday, Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and, most recently, The Colour Hue Challenge, where we're teammates, to name a few). Her leaf card: dazzling! I'm sure you'll enjoy gazing at and admiring her lovely card, as well as all the beautiful creations by the rest of the team: Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa, Maria and Cécile. If you have a chance to leave comments, that would be a real treat.

Yep...another slimline from me (bought a bunch of dies, so gotta use 'em!) featuring stamps/dies from Concord & 9th.  I'm thinking that birthday cards for each month might make a nice gift set; need to get on that!



That's it from me! Looking forward to seeing how you'll 'gather leaves' on your cards/projects!

I love the combination of ink blending and die cuts, and I love that sentiment, too. I need to get on the slimline bandwagon; this card is wonderful!

Nancy said...

Thud was my heart when I saw your card in the DT blog before we went live! That was going to be my message to you on FB but we never touched base and I forgot to check back with you. My fault!! Every day I strive to be as talented and versatile of a card maker as you!

You never cease to amaze me with your gorgeous creations! This is awesome the way you combined the stamped leaves and the die cuts on this slimline beauty!

Like your idea of Birthday cards for each month! Love the flow you have used for this card and great idea to add the sentiment in the centre. I do like the use of the white and offset dies. Fab to see you at Time Out....and hope you see you again-hope you are well and sending hugs xx

I love how you've scattered the white die cuts around, over and beside the colorful stamped leaves, Carol.

Fantabulous slimline card Carol. Love the coloured leaves and the placement of the white die cuts. Great idea for monthly birthday cards. Are you onto it yet?
