From Me to You!

Hello and Welcome

It's Mood Board Week at Just Us Girls

and Bobby as Host chose this variety of beautiful images below

for us to pick from.

 

As you can see I am showcasing

the poppies on the top left.

I coloured my tulips with 

Tim's Distress Barn Door and 

leaves and stems with peeled paint and rusty wilderness

with a touch of shimmer from Magcal's but hasn't shown up

onto w/c paper and die cut.

Die cut my Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles frame

and added some grunge stamping and splatters.

Adhered my poppies to frame and added a

STAMPlorations sentiment.

Popped on to cream frame and base.

Our Guest Bonnie and the Team have chosen

what caught their eye on our Mood Board

and created a variety of lovely work

now it is your turn to show us yours.

See you there

It's All About The FLOWERS!

It's Just Us Girls Mood Board Week

and our Host is Denise with a 

beautiful array of Summer Flowers.

 

I cut out and coloured a bunch of Tim's Wildflowers

in all sorts of colours. Tied together with wax twine.

Background is from my bits box and added white gesso through

an AALL&Create stencil, die cut and popped with my arch frames.

Finished with a STAMPlorations sentiment

and adhered to green base.

This is flying over the other side of OZ for

my daughters birthday which happens to be Thursday.

There's flowers a plenty over on our blog

so check out what our Guest Kellianne

and the Design Team created and

I am sure to see our gallery in full bloom.

Hope to see you there.

is BOBBY and don't you just LOVE the choices!

You can guess what caught my eye!

That single deep blue flower head had me

going to replicate it using 

Distress inks and Lindy's Magicals to try

and get that blue.

Die cut a Kaisercraft leaf,

did a little embossing, attached to popped white frame.

Scored around the edges and onto white base.

Added a tiny piece of twine and again used a

sentiment die from Poppy Stamps

(thanks again L)

Check out what caught the eye of 

our Guest Rosemary and the Team

It's our Mood Board Week at Just Us Girls 

Our Host Carol M has an abundance of colourful flowers

painted on rocks for our inspiration.

My card is CAS using different colour tones on each flower

with a variety of mixed leaves in the background

sitting on top of a weathered textured die.

Added some tiny punched flowers brushing 

nuvo shimmer to the centres of the flowers.

Adhered to white cs. Cut on an angle 

and adhered to kraft card base.

Sentiment is die cut from kraft to match.

There's Always Time for TEA!

It's  Just Us Girls Mood Board Week and

the Lovely Lisa has us swooning over her

gorgeous fluffy cup of lovely-ness.

Just had to show you the big picture first!

Now here is my cup of tea.

I had fun picking out colours to use on 

Tim's Cafe Colorize tea cup.

I chose several pink tones as is on our Mood Board cup 

and a touch of grey from Bazzill card stock.

I started with the TCW Mini Flex Flower stencil

adding texture paste to the side.

The sentiment is from 

STAMPlorations Always Tea Time stamped on

Spellbinders Floral Ovals die cut.

Attached some lace (something I haven't done for a long time)

and glued the tiny stars from the above die 

After I had put my tea cup together 

I added Liquid Pearls then a small die cut flower

and some grey leaves.

Framed in grey and attached to pink card base.

Check out how our Guest Denise and The Team

took their inspiration from that delicious Mood Board

and I am sure you will want to play then

I heat embossed my AALL&Create flowers

with Wow Caramel Powder

and die cut my first arch.

Added sentiment from STAMPloration Skinny Sentiments

Backed arch with metallic paper and a bigger white one to the back.

Adhered to embossed background

and on to kraft card base.

In the 'Mood' for Christmas.

We are in the 'Mood' this week at Just Us Girls

to offer a delightful array of all things Christmas 

with our host Carol Mc

reminding us that it is just around the corner!

and a closer look!

My inspiration came from the lovely gold tones above - hence

I have used gold, bronze and red metallic card stock.

Die cut my star several times and backed it with the

 old Spellbinders Twenty Seven die in copper.

Adhered the backing also in copper and cut the

gold metallic paper into three,

embossing the middle piece from a folder

that came with a magazine years ago.

Randomly placed pearls and one to the centre of my star.

Now head over and check out our Guest Leslie's

cute card and what caught the Team's eye. 

We look forward to seeing yours in our Gallery.

 

In the Mood for Coffee!

I am in the mood for coffee at Just Us Girls

after seeing the Fabulous Fun Mood Board that 

our Host - Carol M chose for us.

When I saw this Mood Board some time ago 

I knew what I was going to make

as I had recently bought some itty bitty beverage dies.

This was fun to make - just a little fiddly.

I die cut lots of 'coffee' items in a few different colours,

added a large MFT circle die and inked with Tim's stencil

then a couple of cut out circle dies.

Added my coffee embellishments with one 'frothy' topped cup

which really is sand texture paste.

I stencilled the card base lightly as it needed a little something.

Sentiment is from STAMPlorations.

There is an amazing variety of inspiration from

our Talented Guest Gerda and Team Mates

for you to check out and lots to choose from

that Fabulous Mood Board.

Head off and create yours to add to our Gallery.

See you there.

Blessed!

It's Just Us Girls Mood Board Week and

our Host Bobby has picked a beauty!

With such gorgeous colours I decided to dig out

some coloured card scraps and have a ripping time!

The script background is from Dark Room Door

I have had for years.

Scored and inked some of the edges

adding grey from the photo.

A couple of simple dies coloured with

Tim's Crackling Campfire and Hickory Smoke.

Of course there are some tiny splatters,

framing and another oldie - 

sentiment stamp from Gina K Designs.

Adhered to black base.

There's a load of lovely creative cards & colours

from our Guest Jaydee and the Team

so check it out and add yours.

You could be the Winner of the Week or

one of the Shout Outs.

Know your ABC!

The Lovely Lisa has a super Mood Board Pic

for us this week as our Host at Just Us Girls

and you can guess were I took my inspirtion from.

The slate on the chair is a so very old school item

every child had one - back in the day...

I cut out several alphabet letters and numbers

with different dies randomly placed.

Big die cut frame for the slate and found a colour

for the slate itself that matched the photo.

Added some texture paste to the frame for effect.

and popped.

Adhered to kraft card base and that's it.

Our talented Guest Julie and the Team

have had fun with this board so head over

and check them out then go and do the same

and add it to our Gallery.

Looking forward to seeing what caught your eye!

 

A Beautiful Day!

Hello and Welcome to my post for our 

Mood Board Challenge at Just Us Girls 

Our Host Carol M chose such a simple beauti

full of the wonder of Nature.

I certainly didn't have any trouble creating

my card with an abundance of pretty little punched flowers

in a variety of colours.

It was fun just punching all those flowers with

scraps of paper all over my desk.

Once I thought I had enough I cut out a circle

to place them around then the surround

with a leaf embossing folder from Kaisercraft.

With flowers and some small leaves completed

I added different colours of Liquid Pearls to the centres

and around my STAMPlorations sentiment.

Head over and see how our Guest Donna and the Team

created their  cardswith inspiration from that gorgeous mood boad.

I am sure you will  want to go and create yours and

 add to our Gallery.

See you there.

Creative Chaos!

It's Mood Board Week at Just Us Girls 

and our Host Carol M gave us a

super colourful fun one to play around with.

I did have a bit of fun with this mood board

and after a few attempts got something

similar to what I was aiming for.

Found a few 'splat' stamps and inked them up 

with Versafine Clair colours to match the board.

I even stopped myself from adding tiny splatters.

Stamp is from Visible Image - Creative Chaos.

Shame the sentiment didn't come out clearer.

Die cut the frame, backed with 

 bright yellow on to white card base.

Our Guest Rosemary and the Team

have created such a fabulous array of creativity

 so head over and check them out.

I am sure you will want to join in and

add yours to our Gallery. Why not!

Sending this off to the Designer's Choice HOT challenge at

Inkspirational Challenge

with my brightly coloured card .

A Busy Easter Bunny.

It's Mood Board Week at  Just Us Girls

and our Host Elizabeth found one with soooo many fun images

 to be inspired by. 

With Easter just around the corner I am sure most crafters

 would be busy creating with that in mind - 

but wait there are a few other images to catch your eye also.

Here's a much larger photo

I took my inspiration from the cake colours and the eggs.

On my way to the gym I dropped in to our cheap shop

and found some Easter goodies to play with.

This card has been a work in progress and

gave me time to unwind and relax.

The background is scrunched up tissue paper

with easter eggs. Cut out the circle with the tree.

Glued the shredded coloured paper

adding the easter eggs 

(had to cut them as they were too big)

glued some art tones and finshed with the chipboard bunny

coloured with rust brown matte wax

and white gesso.

Framed in brown onto white card base.

Hope you have or will have time to join in

with your creation to our Gallery.

UPDATE - sending this over to the

Inkspirational Challenge for their

#339 Mood Board Decorated Eggs

Have a Safe and Happy Easter.
