Christmas Wishes

Carol Mc is Hosting our Photo/Mood Board Challenge

for Just Us Girls with a bunch of beautiful Christmas choices.

Here's a bigger detailed photo.

You can see what caught my eye - 

the greenery in the middle.

I inked the ARTplorations A2 panels

with Tim's Distress and Oxide inks

and layered them. The greenery is also

 Tim's Mini Holiday Greens coloured with

the above and Lindy's Magicals..

Added some splatters, cotton and beads.

Finishing with a simple Christmas Sentiment.

Head over and see what our Guest Melissa

and Talented Teamies chose from the

fabulous Mood Board and come join in by

adding yours to our Gallery.

Everything has 'Beauty'

It's our Photo/Mood Board Week at Just Us Girls

and as Host I am continuing on with all the beautiful leaves

that are changing colour everywhere.

You've guessed what I used on my background

haven't you? YES lots and lots and lots of

Magical Colours together with

Ken Oliver Copper Metal, Nuvo Drops and

dribbled liquid pearls here and there.

The leaf is another one from my driveway

that I played around with colour wise.

Added a bunch of sissel to the back of the leaf

hiding some of those scrumptious colours.

It looks white but is cream, the same as

my cream card base.

Again I have used one of Tim's small talk sentiments

to complete.

Oh and I didn't get inky fingers like I did 

on another project earlier and it was

a whole lot of fun messing around with 

the background and leaf.

Of course our talented Guest Bonnie

and my fabulous team mates created

amazing makes for our mood board challenge so -

head over and check them out and

get yours added to our Gallery.

Hope to see you there.

It's Photo/Mood Board Week at JUGS

Carol M is our Host at Just Us Girls for our

Photo/Mood Board Challenge and it is

full of wonderful colours and earthly elements.

It's always interesting to see what is taken 

and created from it.

 

I love creating with corrugated cardboard and works perfectly

with my golden gilding flake leaf. I don't know who made it

as it was purchased at a craft show some years ago.

Cardboard has texture pastefor dimension.

Background stencil from AALL&Create.

Sentiment is Tim's Small Talk.

Inked the edges and adhered to white card base.

There is so much to choose from Carol's Mood Board.

Our Guest Stephanie and the Talented Team have

created an amazing array of lovely makes

so head over and check them out.

I am sure you will want to play with us this week.

In doing so you could be chosen as our Chic of the Week.

Thanks for dropping by - 

Happy Birthday!

 Welcome to my Saturday post for Just Us Girls

It's our Photo/Mood Board Week and Host Bobby

has a fabulous array of possabilities there.

Here's a closer look!

All those beautiful blues got my attention 

and went with a bit of a grungy make

using products from STAMPlorations

Inks are from Tim Holtz in the blue/grey tones

with a touch of tan.

Added some splatters and attached to navy card base.

Head on over and see what our Guest  Greta and the Team

took from this super board and maybe you can

find a little time to play and add yours to the Gallery.

Hope so!

Time for Tea...

It's our Photo/Mood Board Challenge at Just Us Girls

and Hosting is Lisa E choosing the most gorgeous array

of feminine softness.

Here's a larger view

Oh the endless possabilities we have in this beautiful Mood Board!

. As you can see I was inspired by

the gorgeous tea arrangement on the top right side.

I sanded my old CB folder to take away some of the 

bright pink. My tea cup is from

STAMPlorations Always Tea Time

as is the sentiment which is a little hard to see

(There is no trouble so great that cannot be

much diminished by a nice cup of tea)

Both inked with Versafine Clair Glamerous

and heat embossed clear.

Tea cup is die cut with SB Floral Ovals

Finished with a few pink gems.

Head over and see how our Guest

and the Team took inspirations from the photo 

to make their card for this challenge.

Hope they inspired you to 

play along this week and add yours

to our Gallery.

Just Us Girls Photo/Mood Board Week

Welcome to today's post for Just Us Girls.

Vicki is hosting our Photo/Mood Board Challenge

and has picked a Super Summery Photo.

There comes a time when a challenge stumps you

and this one was it. (I don't know why)

I knew I wanted to use the beach huts from Inkadankado

and quite a few ideas went - you know where!

Time was running out but finally I had something

that I was okay with and left it at that.

Lots of different colours for the stencilled background.

Inked up the tree, added some coloured coconuts.

Die cut and coloured the starfish.

Background for the huts is Tim's Ox inks

and die cut from MFT.

Found a few birds flying by.

Sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Head over and see how much fun our Guest TK

and the Team had going in all different

and creative ways. Aren't they great!

Till next time - 

LIfe Under the Sea.

Bobby is our Host at Just Us Girls

for our Photo/Mood Board Challenge.

 

Here's a larger view!

I wasn't sure which way to go with this Mood Board

Travel or the Gorgeous Colours.

You probably guessed the colours won out

and went under the sea with that

adorable sea horse from AALL&Create.

The background was a big splash of colours

from Lindy's Magical's

Heat embossed the seahorse,

added bubbles (hard to see)

and sentiment from the same stamp set.

Corner rounded and attached to navy card base.

Check out what inspired our Guest Claire and

the Team from the Moodboard.

We would love to see yours in our Gallery.

A Potted Birthday Bloom

 Our Host Nancy has found a 

fabulous Mood Board for us to take inspiration from

this week at Just Us Girls

As soon as I saw that pot full of blooms

I knew where I was heading.

Here's a closer view.

My background is stencilled with texture paste

and after drying added Lindy's Magical's

letting it run through and onto the raised cracks.

Added an inked up Kaisercraft texture die.

Fussy cut my pot from AALL&Create and SU bloom coloured

with distress inks and a touch of perfect pearls.

This was popped onto the itty bits from the

background die. Thought it made a perfect

resting place for the potted flower.

Finished with a simple sentiment

and raised onto SU card base. 

Pop over and see amazing makes of all kinds

from our Guest Joanne and our Talented Designers.

There is so much to feast your eyes over that Mood Board.

We would love to see what caught yours

to add to the Gallery. See you there!

Simply HELLO!

 What a fabulous Mood Board Elizabeth chose

as Host for us at Just Us Girls

Check it out with a closer view...

I took a few things from the fabulous mood board -

again playing with my new Artsy Stems dies from Tim

instead of flowers.

My background was picked from the top right

using Liquid Pearls on an acrylic block

and left to dry. Chose the hello sentiment from the middle

and the green tones from the bottom left.

Pearls to the centre and layers to finish.

Head over and see what caught the eye of our Guest Michele

and the Team from that amazing Mood Board

and hope you are inspired and add yours to our Gallery.

A Red Red Rose!

Which picture caught your eye on this Mood Board

our Host Vicki at Just Us Girls chose for this weeks Challenge?

Scroll down for the big picture!

The roses got mine and I went deep into 

my stamp stash and found a very old one

from I don't know where but -  the rose is stunning

and the wording Belle Jardin is French for Beautiful Garden.

Here's a closer look!

Heat embossed then coloured the rose and leaves with 

Nuvo Shimmer Powders in Catherine Wheel and Green Parade

spreading the colours behind the rose image.

After looking at it I decided that what went over the edges

would make a perfect background,

adding a small black frame and

on to white card base. Needing something else

I slipped a small piece of inked paper to the side.

Head over to Our Blog and check out what

our Guest Karen and the Team picked out

from the Mood Board. You will be delighted as always.

Hope to see you in our Gallery this week.
