Gettin' Sketchy with JUGS

| Published 11.06.2010

Hello bleeps! 

It's sketch time on the Just Us Girls challenge rotation and it's my turn at the wheel :) 


Instead of the flower, I used a snowflake. Slowly building my collection of Christmas cards :)


I used Mona's CR84FN color challenge for the color scheme. Is this not a stunning color combo? So elegant and serene.


I stamped a snowflake in versmark and heat embossed it in silver. Same for the sentiment. The little "buttons" on the bottom are silver snowflakes stamped on aqua mist and covered with epoxy stickers.
I added a little bling to the snowflake too :)


If you already haven't, see the JUGS site for all the challenge deets. Don't forget to swing by the blogs of the other JUGS DT gals and show them a little love :)


Thanks so much for playing along with Just Us Girls - we love seeing your creations and always appreciate your support! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

TTFN,

Andrea M

JustRite 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop 9

| Published 11.03.2010


Happy Wednesday morning!!! The JUGS gals have some really exciting news today. We're all participating in the JustRite Stampers 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop!!! The wonderful folks at JustRite have been so generous to us at JUGS and I'm so happy to participate in this fantastic event! WELCOME to my stop on this week's JustRite 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop!

What is the JustRite 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop? Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving some of your favorite designers will be joining some of the JustRite design team for a series of Christmas blog hops, showcasing JustRite’s entire Christmas Collection of stamps!  Don’t forget that JustRite has some Christmas stamps in their newly released CLING line of stamp sets, too -- you can find them HERE. 

For the month of November, JustRite thought they would switch gears a little and throw in some holiday gift ideas using your JustRite stamps, so be watching for those, too, during November’s hops!  And in celebration of JustRite’s 9th and 10th weeks of Christmas Blog Hops, they have a huge surprise for you -- take 25% off  All JustRite Original Christmas Stamps now through November 15th, also with free shipping within the U.S. Don't forget to tell Santa!!

On to my project for the hop. I chose to use the gorgeous cardinal stamp from JustRite's Back Yard Birds set;


This handsome little guy is colored up with Copics. I just adore this cutie! The sentiment around the periphery is from the Christmas Ornaments set. I wanted the snow to stand out a bit so I added some liquid applique to give it some dimension. I stamped it on aqua mist, cut out with nestabilites and popped it up on foam tape. 

Please visit these designers’ blogs to see what fabulous JustRite Christmas inspiration they have for you on the hop today!

Thanks so much to JustRite for having us play along with the Christmas blog hop and for your generous support!!!!  


Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy hopping!!!

Welcome wreath

| Published 11.01.2010

More fall colors :) Shucks, I love this time of year :)
Gotta card for the following challenges;

Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge

Embellish Color Challenge 


A twist on the embellish challenge was to add a vintage touch. Not my forte but I gave it a try...


I'm loving my new diamonds impression plate from PTI. It does the most perfect letterpress-like effect! *happy sigh*

This card also applies for the following challenges;
wee memories - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp - punches and die cuts
4 crafty chicks - die cuts or punches
Creative Cottage - embossing
