Just Us Girls Challenge #752 - Color Week - Gold, White and Blue - Wishing You a Magical Holiday Radiating Snowflake (Pinkfresh Studio)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #752 where, as hostess, I invite you use a palette of Gold, White and Blue this week. While this combination is lovely for the festive season, it's also one for a wide variety of themes/occasions. 

A new month also brings us a new Guest Designer: Jenn Borjeson. We're thrilled to have her sharing her creativity with us throughout November.


A suite of Pinkfresh Studio products are making their debut on my card: a stenciled version of the Radiating Snowflake, Festive Grid background and a gold glimmer-foiled sentiment from Holiday Magic. Gold bling for the sparkle - because Christmas cards 'need' sparkle.


Please head over to the main blog to see the lovely cards created by Jenn and the rest of my talented teammates.
Then...join us in the gallery!
Looking forward to seeing how Gold, White and Blue inspire you.

Inkspirational Challenge #328 - Designer's Choice - Layer It - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (WF Postage dies and Christmas stencil, Honey Bee Stamps)

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #328 where my Designer's Choice inspiration is LAYER IT.  Layered die cuts, layering stencils, layering stencils with layered die cuts, layer cakes (made with layering stencils and die cuts LOL), layers of clothes, layer of ink...as long as we can see, or you can explain to us, how you've 'layered it', you're more than welcome to join the gallery. 


My card uses an assortment of layers: embossed snowflake panel (with an extra smooth panel for reinforcement) layered on to a card base; Waffle Flower postage collage dies (also with extra backing) and layering Christmas stencils.  They - and the sentiment - are also layered with foam tape. This is a hefty card! LOL! Oh...and a layer of Simon Hurley's Slippery When Wet gold paste on there, too. 


How will you *Layer It*?
Looking forward to seeing what you create in the gallery!

Color Hues Challenge #98 - Red and Black - Merry Christmas Santa Ornament (Spellbinders)

Hello,


Welcome to Color Hues Challenge #98, where our lovely hostess, Karen, invites us to use hues of red and black as inspiration for the next two weeks. This classy combination certainly has a holiday flair, but it can be used for many occasions as well.


We're also wishing a fond farewell to our teammate, Cindy Beach, who will be very much missed. Cindy: may your new journey be filled with joy. Once you're settled, hopefully we'll see you crafting and inspiring once again.


Joining us for this challenge are two talented designers: Izzy and Colleen B.. Wonderful to have you on board. 


HO! HO! HO! 
A Santa suit ornament from Nichol Spohr's Festive Ornaments/Merry Mug & Circle Delights Collection came out to play for this challenge. I've paired it with an ornaments embossing folder and a Spellbinder's sentiment. Easy!


Looking forward to seeing how Black and Red inspire you!

The challenge will be open until November 14th @ 9:00 am EDT.

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall
 winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.
