Just Us Girls and Outlaws PAM

Today I made separate cards for my 2 Saturday Teams.

Just Us Girls is a color challenge; yellow, blue and white.  Pretty bright Spring Colors.

I was working on my self made buttons (coming soon) and I ended up with rather a fun template. I taped it on my card and sponged in the yellows and blues.  I used a darker hue with each color to add some depth to the sponging, added a sentiment from PTI Think Big #4, and added a ribbon.  My card is complete.

Do you like these colors?  Well, pop on over to JUGS and play along!  Be sure and check out the rest of the Team's samples - don't forget to leave them some love!

For my other card, The Outlawz Paper ala Mode challenge is embossing - either dry or wet.

I LOVE this card!  I love the Target washi tape -- the Hero Arts Just Saying Hi images, and the gorgeous embossing folder from Life Style Crafts.  Such a CAS card that brings a smile to my face!

Feel free to make 1 card and upload to both places!  Who knows you could be the winner!

Thanks for stopping by!

Outlaws and JUGS

Happy Saturday everyone!  I hope you find time to be crafty this week end -- Happy Mom's Day to all the Moms out there too!

Today over at the Outlaws there is an easy challenge - Get Well Card.  No problem for me, as I am still sending cards to my friend Karen!

For the Just Us Girls challenge, Lynn is challenging us to use generational stamping.  This is a technique that I use without even realizing this was a technique! :)  Sheesh.  [It's very fun BTW]

I used the fun new in-house paper, Poppy Prints from Gina K Designs, along with images from Tropical Flowers and the sentiment from Garden Silhouettes.  My sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches #34 [though I think I missed the deadline - whoops]

Pop on over to JUGS and see the other DT's sample cards -- be inspired!

I hope you decided to play in these challenges -- do what I did and combine your challenges into 1 card.  Tell them Vicki sent you~ :)

JUGS #134 & Outlawz PAM0428

Hi everyone - its my week over at the Paper ala Mode at The Outlawz.  This week is easy peasy, use a die.  Any die you want.

I have combined my challenge with the Just Us Girls Challenge, a template for Mom.

As you can see, I made a Beach set of cards using my fun Spellbinders Surf's Up set of shapeabilities.  I made this for my sister (who is a Mom) since my mom is longer with us.  She loves the beach, and I know she will love this fun set of cards.

So, you have 2 challenges to play in today Just Us Girls #134, and PAM0428.  Which will you choose 1 or both?  I hope you choose both! :)

Just Us Girls #132 and Outlaws Paper ala Mode

The Outlawz Paper ala Mode challenge today is flowers.  Nice and easy challenge!  I just got these fun dies from Spellbinders (Flower Pots) and just had to make a flower pot card.  Various punches were used for the flowers and leaves, and my sentiment is from GKD What's the Dirt?  I also uploaded this into Joan's Garden Challenge - flowers.

Just a fun little project.  Want to play? Come on over to the Outlaws PAM challenge (join if you aren't a member - its free) and play!  Tell them Vicki sent you~ :)

Next for today is Just Us Girls challenge - technique of a sponged layer.

I was so impressed with this gorgeous photo from Pinterest the other day, and when I saw today's challenge, well, it was the perfect inspiration for me!

This is probably my most favorite technique! I just love the end result of the sponging with images. I used a combo of stamps for this card; SU Script bg and Wonderful Words, GKD Pressed Flowers, and my butterfly is from Hero Arts (with die).

Like this look?  Want to try it?  Pop on over to Just Us Girls, see the other DT samples, WATCH the video (on how to do this technique)  and play along!  I can't wait to see what you create~

Hi there!  Also for today is the challenge over at Just Us Girls 125 - 3D, with ribbon, buttons and flowers.  I wanted to make a set of cards (my sister is coming to visit and I wanted a small HI gift) and found this fabulous Cris cross card holder to make.  I used ribbon lace around the band and I have flowers on it too.  My cards have the buttons.  Whew - I'm covered.
I used Gina K Designs True Love STV Kit and All Occasions Tags.  My scroll is a Cheery Lynn Designs die; Fanciful Flourish.
I hope you join in at the Just Us Girls Challenge with your 3D project using ribbon, buttons and flowers.
