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?

A little fun with this Whipper Snapper flamingo.  Colored with alcohol ink markers and fussy cut.  Using a piece of patterned paper from my stash and die cut a stitched scalloped panel from white and put it together onto a pink card base.  Stamped the sentiment in black directly onto the patterned paper.

Using an unknown floral die and alcohol ink markers on glossy cardstock.  Yellow gel pen added to the flower centers.  The background is a piece of gauzy tissue that was used to pack something I ordered and adhered to a piece of white cardstock.  Stamped the sentiment in black and Versamark and heat embossed with clear ep.  The card base and sentiment strip are Wild Lilac by Gina K.

For my baseball loving grandson.  Using a mix of various sets.  Wanted the baseball to look like it was being hit out of the park.  Sakura clear glitter pen used on the "smoke" puffs and colored in the center of the image with a light blue alcohol marker.  Die cut the baseball adding the lines with red gel pen.  Stamped and fussy cut the bat.  Die cut the banner in red and stamped the sentiment with navy ink.
