 It's Word Week at Just Us Girls and Lisa is our hostess and chosen the perfect word for this month, Rain!


Hop on over to JUGS to see what our fabulous Guest Designer, Colleen Begley and the rest of our fabulous Design Team have created with Rain as our inspiration.



Using random stamps from my stash that have never been inked.  Stamped the cloud in gray then masked and stamped the waterdrops in Brilliance Blue giving some shimmer.  The sentiment is computer generated and printed on vellum.  Matted onto a piece of blue cardstock and onto a gray card base.

This is for my amazing Aunt who is turning 100 very soon.  For her 90th she was disappointed that she didn't get any funny/humorous cards, so ever since then I have tried to humor her!  She is still going strong!  She lives alone, still drives (bought a new car a year ago), is in good health and sharp as a tack!

This started with Gina K Inspiration Mosaic and then stamped the birds, leafy branches, and footprints into the blocks by masking off as needed.  Colored all the birds with alcohol markers all on a Gina K heavyweight card base (no bleed through).  It was too plain, so masked off and blended green Distress Ink around the edge.

Come play along with us and Time Out and you could be chosen as our next Winner of the Week and or a winner over at Time out.  If you are our WOW then you would become eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Just Us Girls #716 -CASE a DT Member

 This week is our CASE a DT Member at Just Us Girls with Carol Mc as our hostess.  You can CASE any of the cards from this week's post on our blog.


Check out JUGS for inspiration from our amazing Design Team. Who will you choose to CASE? 


This is for one of my grandsons for his 10th birthday.  I found this black and white patterned paper from Mel McCarthy on Flickr which I thought paired perfectly with the game controller.  Die cut the game controller and all of the pieces and put it all together.  Added a pow type image which was stamped, fussy cut and covered with some Stickles.  Added the colored strips to match the controller and stamped the sentiment.  

Come play along with us and you could be chosen as our next Winner of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Started with some gray cardstock and used a cobblestone stencil with some texture paste.   The sentiment is from Scrapbook.com stamped on some vellum with Stazon black ink.  Die cut the open heart and placed the vellum over the right side and under the left side of the heart and adhering to the back side of the stenciled panel.  Layered onto a white card base.
