Just Us Girls Challenge #608~Wild Card Week: Leaves...Thankful for You (MCT and 49th & Market)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #608, where our lovely hostess, Bobby, has selected Leaves for the Wild Week Challenge. We *were* enjoying autumn's splendor just a day ago; today, snow, snow and snow! 

We have two pieces of news to share. First, our lovely Design Team member, Angie Cimbalo, will be leaving us after this challenge.  We'll miss your amazing creativity at JUGS, but on the plus side: we know you're continuing to craft up a storm and we know where to find you! All the best on your new ventures!

The end-of-the-month also means we're bidding a fond farewell to our wonderful guest designer, Nora Noll.  Thank you for your wonderful inspiration this month; hopefully, you'll continue to share your talents in the gallery.

A fall leaves card from me today, using gorgeous papers from 49 & Market. The images and weight are right up my alley! The leaves dies are from the first company I made purchases from when I started card-making about 9 years ago and I've been a fan-favourite ever since: My Creative Time. These dies are delights; actually, all of Emma's dies are delights. Believe me, given my rather hefty collection, I speak from experience. *grin*


Looking forward to how you'll be inspired by Leaves this week!


Thank you for dropping by!

Oh gosh, snow has set in?! Guess you'll have to create your own beautiful leaves from here on in, right? Well, sure looks like you have the ability to make some beauties if this card is any indication. Wonderful work! Stey safe and warm, my friend. :)

Such a great variety of leaves on your pretty card, carol. I love the banner greeting and the grunge background paper too! Great Fall-inspired card! Hope you are doing well!

I totally LOVE this! Those leaves look awesome die cut from the patterned papers and that background is the perfect accompaniment for them.

Bobby said...

Do not say that four letter word, Carol. lol It's 38 degrees here and that's bad enough. Your background paper is just my rustic style and the colorful leaves look wonderful on it.

I too love the variety of styles of leaves you used here Carol. Just gorgeous and oh how I love the background. Nice shaped sentiment.
