Just Us Girls #754 ~ Greetings

Carol has a delightful Mood Board for us this week at Just Us Girls. Isn't this oodles of fun? There are so many delightful things to choose from! My eyes went straight to those cutie little gingerbread house ornaments on the bottom left and then to the mug on the top with all of that whipped cream ~ YUM!

 

I bought the sweetest paper pad by Mintay Papers after the holidays last year. When thumbing through it recently, I found the perfect piece for Carol's challenge! This card was so quick and easy. A PPP die cut border, a snowy embossing folder and a last year leftover sentiment by The Greetery all came together for this festive little number!

 

We do hope you'll join us this week. The team and our guest designer, Jenn Borgeson have put together some wonderful inspiration for you. Be sure to stop by the blog for a look!

Poppystamps

Hi friends! It's my turn to post over at Poppystamps. Stop by for a little bit of merry and a fun stencil technique!

Joy

Hi there! I'm popping is for a quick minute tonight to share a card for a couple of challenges. My sweet freind Marcia is looking for pink and aqua over at Color Hues and Jaydee wants Clean and Simple Christmas cards at The Paper Players. One card, two challenges... here we go!

I used the sweet little snowbaby by Impression Obsession as the O in my JOY (TSM) die cut. I colored this little cutie with Copic then die cut her with a MFT stitched circle. Once I decided on placement, I stamped my favorite Hero Arts snowflake in PTI's Aqua Mist ink. 

 

And off we go to the galleries. 

Thanks for taking a look!

Just Us Girls #753 ~ Joy

Hey there! It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. Sue is our hostess this week and she's looking for JOY on your cards. I used a die cut from my sweet friend Marcia as a jumping off point. Take a look...

Marcia was kind enough to send me a few PTI JOY dies cuts in various colors last year. I thought it was a good fit for the Poppystamps Arched Gothic Cathedral Window... sadly retired, but ever so pretty! I tucked a cranberry version of the word into the corner of the window then proceeded to decorate with MFT images. Vellum was added to the window for softness and everything was popped onto an embossed (SSS) panel.

What does the word JOY say to you? We look forward to finding out when you add your card to our gallery!

Thanks

Happy Friday! It's a beautiful sunny day here in Ohio. The hubs spent the morning at Sweet P's school for a Veteran's Day assembly. It's a small gym, so it was veterans only. That's okay, they need those special times together too! Our girl was chosen as one of the students to read a poem to the veterans. She was very excited to surprise her papa! My morning was spent putting this card together for The Flower Challenge. 

This SB Cosmos panel was already foiled so I grabbed the stencils and got to work! I used warm autumn colors then framed it with this pretty PTI Border Bling die. My favorite Altenew thanks fit perfectly. Easy peasy and I love the way it turned out!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
