Just Us Girls #792 - Word Week

 It's time for Word Week at Just Us Girls and Carol Mc is our fabulous hostess and has chosen the word "Container".  Let your imagination run wild with this!


Come check out JUGS to see what containers were used by our lovely Guest Designer, JayDee and the rest of our amazing Design Team.



My Containers hold beer!  Perfect for toasting for a celebration.  I used Altenew's Bottleful and colored by sponging Distress Inks.  Positioned them to be clinking for the toast and added an unbranded cheers die cut sentiment.  Put it together on a piece of a music score background.  I wasn't able to find a card base in the color I wanted, so inked the edges of a cream colored base with Distress Oxide Fossilized Amber.

Just Us Girls #789 = Mood Board Week

 It's Mood Board Week at Just Us Girls with Lisa as our lovely hostess and she has chosen a perfect photo for our inspiration with school starting soon.

Hop on over to JUGS to see what our amazing Guest Designer, Julie Beech and the rest of our talented Design Team have created.


I was inspired by the chalkboard, book and apple.  Using a Gina K image for the stack of books with the apple sitting on top, colored and fussy cut.  Added some clear glaze pen to the apple for some shine.  The background is from Unity stamped in white pigment ink on black.  Stamped and heat embossed the paper clip boarder from the same Gina K set with silver ep onto the red card base.

King of the Club

 Playing along with Art Impressions Sports & Leisure Challenge #410.  Golfing is both Sports & Leisure as far as I'm concerned, even though it can be quite frustrating at times.



AI Golden Oldies are such fun images and I love this old golfer taking a swing!  Colored him with alcohol ink markers then die cut with an oval die, trimming around the end of the club for an out of the box look.  Layered onto another green die cut oval.  Stenciled the background with Distress Oxide in in Lucky Clover.  Stamped the sentiment also from AI, but a different set with a green ink.

What do you think of this dapper golfer?  Want to play a round of golf with him?
