Just Us Girls Challenge #820 - Stencil Week


I'm the hostess for this challenge.  Keeping it easy, I'm sticking with Anything Goes.  I love the turnout that we get with an anything goes challenge.

For my card today, I did a dual stenciling background, and then stamped over the top of that.  I'm kinda liking the end result.

I used a Tim Holtz stencil, a Stamping Up stencil, and dots from Altenew stamp set.  

I'm not sure whose flowers these are, but they worked :).  Finally the sentiment is from my pre-stamped stash.

Your turn!  I hope you come on over to JUGS #820 Challenge and play along.  I certainly made it an easy challenge.  You're welcome. 😉

Instagram April ATC Hop


It's time for [my favorite] Instagram ATC Hop.  While I passed on a few hops this month [vacation] - I couldn't pass this one up!  I just adore these tiny works of art!

These ATCs are supposed to use scraps, left overs, extras, etc.  I went a digging.  I came across my pre-made papers that I previously had inked up, and not used.  I tore some up, and adhered onto the ATC base [after adding some white acrylic paint to the base].  From there, I went to my box of "extras", picked out a few and completed the decorating of my ATCs.  I lastly, went to my "words" box, picked 3 out, adhered, and these fun ATCs are done.  




You can pop on over to Instagram to see the rest of the hop HERE.

Memory Box Day


It seems like forever since I have been in my stamp room.  [I was gone for 2 weeks!]. I am excited to return for my Memory Box Day and share this adorable guy:


I used the following products to make this fun easel card;  Lagoon Card Stock Pad, Sebastian Mouse Die, Wavy Balloons Dies, and the Birthday Greetings stamp set.

Here is the card displayed:


Here is the card closed for mailing:

This was fun to create!

See you in a couple of weeks with another Memory Box Co card.

CutCardStock Day


I have said this before, and will say it again - I adore geometric cards!  When I looked back on previous CCS cards I have made, there are quite a few of this style of card.  One of the reasons, is I get to show you some amazing colored card stock that CCS carries!  A win-win there. 😉

To make this card, I used the following CCS card stock: 130# White [base], Canvas Textured Flamingo, Raspberry Ice Pink, Canvas Textured Adobo Orange, Textured Pearl Green Curry and a touch of Eclipse Black.


I'm pretty happy with this card. 😌

See you next week~

Addicted to CAS Challenge #306 - Postage


For this challenge I went literal by using a postage stamp.

I also used a postage die for cutting out the panel.  I used a Spellbinders Die for the fun flower, and my "stamp" is from an Elizabeth Craft Designs Paper Pad.

I didn't add a sentiment [yet] as I don't know what I will be using this one for.

Your turn!  Come on over to Addicted to CAS Challenge and play along.  There are many ways to showcase the key word. 😀

The ATCAS Team is looking for team players! You can read about it on the challenge site.

Just Us Girls Challenge #819 - Mood Board Week



For this week's mood board, I went with the center photo.  It kinda jumped out at me since I instantly knew I had the perfect die. Gotta love when that happens!

Fun right?  I think so.  I just had to add in some pink flowers for some color.


Your turn!  Pop on over to JUGS #819 and show us how you are inspired by the mood board!
