For You.

Can you believe we are in to October already!

Well it's true and our new round of challenges at

Just Us Girls is upon us.

That means we have a New Guest Designer

A Big Welcome to Lynne from Rubydoobydoocrafts

 I am Hosting our Word Week with

SCRAPS! 

We all have an abundance of those leftover bits of paper - Right!

How hard is it to create a card using them?

Well for me this challenge was just that.

Even with boxes/drawers of bits, somehow I found it

hard to get what I was happy with. 

In the end after leaving it for a few days,

 contemplating whether to just thow it out and start again.

 I finally finished with something I am happy with.

I knew I wanted to use some leftovers (scraps) from

the retired SU Pumpkin Pie DP

then went looking for a colour to go with them.

Found one and started die cutting

The top strip is from Lawn Fawn Stitched Borders,

Butterfly is CUTplorations Flutter Zen #2

Sentiment - Impression Obsession

Leaf Swirl - Fancy That - inked with Lindy's Magical's.

Kaisercraft pearl.

That's my take on our Word Challenge.

Thanks for visiting.

Hope to see you in our Gallery.

Happy Everything!

 Don't you love it when a card comes together quickly?

This is exactly what happened for the Latest Challenge at

The Sisterhoold of Crafters

The chosen the Theme is

HAPPY EVERYTHING!

(Just has to have Happy in your sentiment)

I knew I wanted to ink up a stamp that

has those very words.

It's from STAMPlorations Happy Everything

as is the floral stamp - Darling Dog Roses.

I was going to heat emboss in gold on to

white card stock but

had the Paper Rose DP close by and

decided to see what it looked like

heat embossing in white.

Turned out nicely and finished with

adding a few little white hearts

and adhered to white card base. 

So there you have it - 

an easy peasy CAS Happy Everything card.

Head over and see how my Sistahs

chose to use the 'HAPPY'

Hope to see yours in our Gallery.

Photo Week at Just Us Girls

 Nancy has chosen such a gorgeous photo

showcasing the beautiful colours with the

changing of the seasons for our Photo Challenge.

Once again I got out those old CB leaf dies

inking them with Lindy's Magicals

and Ken Oliver's Liquid Metals.

Embossed with older CB folders to add texture.

Kaisercraft die for background

 and sentiment heat embossed in gold.

Added a gold button and attached to

It's Colour Week over at  Just Us Girls

and our Host Bobby chose such easy ones to create with.

I have seen a card similar to this on Pinterest

and wanted to re-create it .

I love using corrugated cardboard, tearing away

all the paper this time and inking the corrugations.

My orange flower is Black Eyed Susan from

Elizabeth Craft Designs using

Tim's Distress Inks, cut several times and layered.

Green and brown leaves from different dies.

Finished with twine bow and

sentiment from Tim's Quotations.

Added this to white card base.

Anything to do with Summer that is!

I went with a 'Sea Theme'

Again my Magical's created the beautiful

under the sea colours.

The lovely seahorse and sentiments

are from AALL&Create

Underwater Wonders and heat embossed.

Added some Ryn bubbles filled with

Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

A few other circles from Visible Image.

Adhered to bright blue card base.

Feeling Sentimental

 It's Saturday and Challenge Day at Just Us Girls

Choosing our Trend as Host is Carol M

Repetition! Repetition! Repetition!

For my card I got out the old retired 

Feeling Sentimental Set from SU.

It's a favourite of mine for repeat stamping.

The old stamp a ma jig comes in handy for this as 

this set is on wood.

First image is inked with Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves

and the second and third were inked and

stamped off before adding next to the first one.

Inked a strip under the bicycles to ground them.

Added a few strips of dp, sentiment

and that's it. Easy Peasy!

Pop over and see what our Guest Julie

and my Talented Team Mates created and

come join in and add yours to our Gallery.

*Update I am sending this card over to

HLS Stencil Challenge

It's Stencil Challenge Time over at

Happy Little Stampers

I love using more than one stencil at a time

and here I used one from Studio Light and

one from Little Birdie with Tim's Oxide Inks.

Added script stamping from AALL&Create  and splatters.

Butterfly is from Sizzix die cut twice,

placing the itty bitty insides into the black outlined die

and touched up with Nuvo Shimmer Pen.

Leaving a sentiment off at the moment,

adhering onto coloured card base.

Head over and see what the rest of the

Stencil Team created and come add yours

to the Gallery.
