Just Us Girls #248 & Addicted to CAS #42


Starting this month, Just Us Girls is refreshing the line up of monthly challenges.

What do you think?  The Team likes it, but we want YOU to like it.  We really want to get more players joining in over at Just Us Girls!  We have badges for the Chick of the Week winner, we have Guest Designers and sometimes we even have prizes! Just sayin'....

My "bird" is from GKD, Winter Wishes and the sentiment is from Inspired By Stamping, Words of Inspiration.

Okay, now pop on over to Just Us Girls and play along!  We can't wait to see how bird inspired you...



This challenge, we are being sponsored by


I love Shana's word; Sky.  There will be some beautiful cards in the blog gallery I am sure!

I used the fun PTI Wonderful Words: Birthday Mini [and die], along with another fun die from My Favorite Things, Party Balloons.  Yep, this was like a 10 minute card with a pop!  I am also entering this into the CASology #102 Challenge; Float.

Once again, feel free to combine these 2 challenges. Addicted to CAS; Sky and Just Us Girls, Bird - I'm thinking they work quite well together!


Thanks for stopping by~

Both your cards are beautiful, Vicki!! I love the bright yellow and green against the grey on the first card. Such a sweet little bird and I love the sentiment!!
On the second card you have really done the clouds beautifully!!! The orange and yellow looks so nice against the blue of the clouds. Love the balloon!!

Have a super weekend!!
