Just Us Girls Challenge #777 - CASE a DT - Feel Better Real Soon Band-aids

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #777, where we invite you to select a card from one of the design team below and CASE it. [Copy & Share Everything].  Please let us know who you are CASEing in your post. Vicki, has hostess, has the honour of selecting the winner and shout outs.

In a moment of distraction, I managed to scissor-cut the tip of my finger this week (ICK!) which served as inspiration for my card. LOL! I've had this set of band-aid dies for years and this - finally - marks their debut. Yes, they're adhered a bit crooked (despite my best efforts at lining them up straight) but hey...they resemble my one-handed first-aid attempts with my own injury. Just a bit wonky...as are many things around here.

If I'm fortunate enough to inspire you, you have a few 'entry points' with this rather CAS number: colours, get well, three-of-the-same, hearts...


Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from my team, then select a card as inspiration and share your version in the gallery.


Thank you for dropping by!

Seize the Birthday Challenge #306 - Surprise Party Guest - Use A Frame - Sweet Cupcake Happy Birthday

Hello,

I'm thrilled to be joining the Seize the Birthday team as the Surprise Party Guest for Challenge #306. Such a wonderful opportunity to play cards with super talented designers and, at the same time, add to my birthday card stash. 

All Seize the Birthday Challenges are "Anything Goes" with an optional topping for those who want to be more venturesome with their cards. For the next two weeks, the topping is Use A Frame; perfect for adding some eye-catching pizzazz to your cards.



It's no secret that I am a full-fledged fan of Waffle Flower; their delightful, thoughtfully crafted, versatile products make them tops on my list. Today, I'm bringing a Sweet Cupcake to the party, along with some Bokeh Elements which, together, cover rainbow colours.  I hope you enjoy my calorie-free, easy to 'bake' cupcake creation.


Thank you, Nancy and the rest of the team, for welcoming me to 'your space.'  To my visitors: thank you for dropping by. I hope you'll join us in the Seize the Birthday gallery, with or without the topping.

Just Us Girls Challenge #775 - MOODBOARD Week - Sealed with Love (WF Postage Collage Envelope stencil)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #775, where I'm delighted to be your hostess for Mood Board Week.  While it's clear that the mood board I've selected is rainbow-themed, you can also draw inspiration from the pencils, the heart, framing, circles, stripes, colour families, ombre, paint brushes, painting and so on. Plenty of avenues to explore - and I hope you enjoy doing so.

https://www.tanisfiberarts.com/blog/2017/4/mood-board-monday-rainbows

We're delighted to have Rosemary joining us once again as our May Guest Designer.

Rainbow colours and the 'individuality' of the paint cakes inspired my Waffle Flower envelopes postage collage card. As you're likely aware, I have a 'thing' for all things postage collage; LOVE them! 


Please visit the main blog to see fabulous interpretations from Rosemary and the rest of my talented team. 
Looking forward to seeing how this mood board sparks your creativity.

Inkspirational Challenge #341 - Designer's Choice - HOT - Thanks for Brightening My Day Tropical Sunset (Waffle Flower)

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #341, where my talented teammate, Marlena, has selected HOT as her Designer's Choice inspiration. Hot weather, hot beverages, hot locations, hot colours, hot product trends, hot images (fire, sun, fashion)...plenty of directions to take this one.


My brand new, just-took-it-out-of-the-package Waffle Flower Tropical Sunset silhouette stamps are marking their debut today. In fact, the stamps are SO new that I didn't even take time to season them properly; I was 'that' excited to stamp! My card is far from original, as I drew inspiration from one of the showcases on the Waffle Flower website.  I mean, that's why I buy 99.9% of my products: to replicate the beauties I see created by 'professional' card-makers. Next time I use this stamp, I'll aim for more of 'my' touches...maybe! Still lots of pretty versions I want to re-create...


Please head over to the main blog to see the HOT numbers designed by my wonderful teammates, then join us in the gallery with something HOT of your own.

Thank you for dropping by!
