Hello
Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #788, where Elizabeth has chosen BIRTHDAY as our Word Week inspiration. Let's make cards to celebrate the special people in our lives!
We're delighted to have Julie Beech, our August Guest Designer, joining us once again; her card is sure to make you smile.
I’ve recently fallen for Simply Stated Designs—a proudly Canadian, independent designer based in my home city of Edmonton, Alberta. Chantel creates and prints (in-house!) a fabulous array of patterned and solid papers, ephemera, and other crafty delights. I’d been trying to rein in my patterned paper purchases, but after seeing her irresistible range… well, restraint went straight out the door. Bring on the patterns, ephemera, and collections—because I am!
My card below features Chantel’s Age is Just a Number collection—a pure delight. The grand ol’ gal on the front, star of my first-ever diagonal cut card, may have wrinkles and grey hair, but her outfit, smile, and spunk prove she’s young at heart. Inside, the celebration continues with a mini card insert, more patterned papers and more ephemera. This card makes me smile, and I hope it does the same for you. The collection also includes ephemera with girls and guys, so stay tuned for those cards soon.
I like her spunk! She's oodles of fun, Carol and this card is just as cute as can be!
