Just Us Girls Challenge #805 - Word Week


Elizabeth here, I am delighted to be your hostess for Word Week. The word this week is: ENCOURAGEMENT. This is such a great word, especially for stash cards. We all need a word of encouragement every once in a while. Put your creative juices to work. 

We're delighted to have the very talented Laurel Seabrook, our January Guest Designer for week 2. Check out her inspiration card.

Winner of the Week #804

Elizabeth here. What a fantastic array of cards in the first gallery of 2026! I was loving so many of the cover dies used this week. THANK YOU.

As always, selecting a winner and shout-outs is a challenge, but it's a good challenge to have!

Winner of the Week




I love the subtle look of the impression cover plate on Rosemary's card.  The colors are equally subtle... and the adorable birdie! I love CAS cards, and this is a wonderful example of CAS perfection.

Congratulations, Rosemary! Please take your Winner of the Week badge from the sidebar.
