Just us Girls #439 - Word Week

It's Word Week at Just Us Girls a I have chosen the word Shadow.  You can make a shadow of an image or words, it could be stamped or drawn shadows or create a shadow by layering die cuts.  Use your imagination and see where it takes you!

I would like to welcome our May Guest Designer, Patti Kehl!  Check out the JUGS Blog to see how Patti and the rest of the Design Team have interpreted the word Shadow.

I went with stamped shadows.  The balloons were stamped with gray ink with the die cut balloons adhered directly to the white layer, slightly offset for a dimensional look.  The sentiment was stamped first with gray ink then a little and to the right with black ink, again for a dimensional look.  The sentiment was stamped using my MISTI to get the right placement.. I also added some clear Wink of Stella to the balloons.

How does the word Shadow inspire you?  Come share you creations with us and you could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Just us Girls #438 - Photo Week

It's time for Photo Week at Just Us Girls and Vicki has chosen an amazing photo for our inspiration!

Sadly, this is our last week with our April Guest Designer Karren Johnson.  I would like to say THANK YOU for joining us this past month and sharing all of your amazing creations!  Now jump on over to the JUGS Blog to see how Vicki's Photo has inspired Karren and the rest of the Design Team.

I was pretty literal with my interpretation!  Love the colors and the black and white artwork paired with the orange flowers.  I used Concord & 9th Background Blocks.  The flower die cut has orange Stickles on the flower heads.

Come share your inspirations with us and you could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would put you in the running at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.
