Rose Gold Snowflake




Just Us Girls Challenge this week was the perfect inspiration for me to use this sparkly snowflake that has been on my desk since last winter. I placed one of the Pinkfresh Folk Edge Circle dies around it, cut it out and popped it up with foam. I added a PTI sentiment from the depths of my Christmas stash, and my card was complete.

The Tide Will Turn

 



Time for a new challenge at Time Out. This time around it's an Inspired By Words Challenge where the words are: When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in". ~ Kristin Armstrong. Check out Tie Out Challenge #250  

This card speaks of me and my love for the sea and the calm, peace and companionship it brings. The quote brought to mind some panels I had made with Gina K's Ocean Minded stamp set. The heart is embossed with Hero Arts Sand EP and represents a drawing in the sand. The sentiment is so perfect for support and encouragement for someone who going through a difficult time. The embossed waves in the background added some wonderful texture. I just love it.

We are generously sponsored by Poppystamps.
Winner received a $20.00 gift voucher and an invitation to be Guest Designer for a future challenge.

Our Guest Designer is Deb Horst, frequent participant at Time Out, and very talentedl crafter. Be sure to stop by the challenge blog to see her beautiful card.

Have a PAR-fect Day



Today is the start of CAS Week at Just Us Girls. It is also my last week to be with The JUGs Design Team as Guest Designer. What a wonderful group of crafters to work with! They have been so warm and welcoming and I have really enjoyed my time with them. Thank you all from the bottom of my art for having me!!

With regard to my card, though my stash seems as deep as the deep blue sea, it does not contain anything sports-oriented... well, that is not entirely true. There's that fabulous swimmer/diver die. Hmmmm - I forgot about her. Anyway, one of my sons has recently fallen in love with golf and his birthday is coming, so I decided to make my sports-themed card for him. Since I now know how to use them, I went in search of a golf-themed digital stamp. I found this little Golf Gnomie on Etsy at PinkGemDesigns, printed him out, colored him with Copics, then set him in a CAS design with a strip of Tartan Plaid paper. I made my  sentiment strip on my computer and popped up on the right side... and it's a wrap! Thanks so much for coming by today!

Now please head over the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog to see what the DT has created for your inspiration. Get sportive and creative and play with us!

CAS Peonies -Thinking Of You

 


This card is a celebration of my first go with my new Altenew Stampwheel. It was a BD gift from my DH. I was a little dubious at first. I used what appeared to me to be an "easy to use" Altenew layering stamp set, and it turned out pretty well. I am usually pretty frustrated by layering stamps in terms of getting them lined up correctly. Lots of swearing usually involved. Sometimes tears. I watched Simon Hurley's review and demo, then I used to amazingly talented Michele Ferguson's tutorial with success. I will be posting another card soon with the results. I did let out a few "YAY's in the process. I am now ready to persevere.

Happiness Is A Walk On The Beach


As I was perusing the challenge blogs, I saw this one from As You See It, and decided to play.

As You See It #301 - Swift Seashells, is a speed stamping challenge with the theme of seashells. Create your project in under 10 minutes. I also wanted to participate in Color Throwdown #748 where the colors are red, blue and brown.

Color Throwdown #748

My card is very simple with a white heat embossed image of a row of seashells on Kraft cardstock, with a sentiment that has a sandy font stamped in blue, and some red and white twine around the top tied in a bow. It was done in 8 minutes and 27 seconds.

So Glad You Were Born

 



I am super excited to be here today and also for the next three challenges as the Surprise Party Guest at Seize the Birthday! I am so pleased and honored to have been invited!!! Today's Challenge #253 is Anything Goes Birthday as usual with the optional topping of "Winged Things". You can choose to incorporate the topping or not, your card just has to have a birthday theme. I chose to use the topping for my card.


I so love the Hero Arts Dragonfly Fancy Die. I love the size of it and the detail in it, so I made it the  winged star of my creation. I created a panel of strips in shades of purple, including a couple cut from purple glitter card stock. I added a white heat embossed sentiment strip and my card was complete.

Please head on over to the Seize The Birthday Challenge Blog and see what the Design Team and Surprise Party Guest Elizabeth Stewart of Paper Sweetness (Overall winner to Challenge #252) have created for your inspiration. Come play with us and build up the birthday card stash!
