JUGS #82: Wild Card!!!

Happy weekend ladies!!! Andrea here, bringing you a JUGified Wild Card challenge :) But first, thanks so much for all the fabulous spring-themed templates last week! They were all so fabulous and inspiring! Speaking of last week, for some reason the Chic of the Week post decided not to go live when scheduled last night. Sorry for the delay, but it's up on the blog now - you can check out our latest Chic HERE :)

On to the Wild Card challenge for this week - I chose the emboss resist technique! There's a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers HERE. You can create different looks with this one technique, I just love it :)

Before we move on to the DT samples, I'm sad to say that this is Teresa's last week with us as Guest Designer. We've loved having you and your creative superpowers with us this month, Teresa!!! It's been a blast!!!

Chic of the Week #81

Happy Friday, friends!  Kristin here with your Chic of the Week #81.  The spring-themed templates that were submitted this week were fabulous!  I can tell you are all ready for some warm weather and vibrant blooms ;]  Me TOO!  Most of you were thinking Easter like our team was also...which is totally natural and applicable to the challenge! 

I fell in LOVE with Andreja's project where she repurposed some mini egg cartons by beautifully decorating the exteriors, and filling the inside with her goods!  Aren't these CA-UTE?!

Andreja, please email me for your Chic of the Week #81 badge!  Congratulations :]

Please join me in congratulating Andreja and the following designers who submitted some super cute, super clever projects!

Have a great weekend!  See you back here tomorrow for our Wild Card challenge!!

Chic of the Week #80

Hi everyone! I want to begin by thanking everyone for the birthday wishes this week! It felt good celebrating with you all week!

It looks like I challenged some of you with this week's color challenge...love that! There were so many great cards using this color palette very cleverly. In the end, I chose this beauty by...

Christina MacLaren

I just loved her use of colors and that she hid a gift card behind her center panel. Very clever! Congratulations Christina! Please contact us here at Just Us Girls to get your Chic of the Week badge!

There were a few others that caught my eye:

LeAnne never ceases to amaze me with her talent. That butterfly on her card was beautiful!

Jen W.'s card looked so soft and pretty with the leopard print on the layers of her card.

Vicki's use of the colors and her rolled flowers were beautiful.

And Hannelie's rocker birthday card for her beautiful daughter really rocked!

Congratulations to all of you and thanks for playing along with us! Please stop by tomorrow for Kristin's template challenge! Hope to see you then!

Just Us Girls #80 - Color Challenge with a Twist!

**Be sure to check out the surprise birthday blog hop for our hostess with the mostess, Lisa, over at MTME**

Hello everyone! Lisa here with a fresh new color challenge for Spring. I found these colors in a paper pack and fell in love! I thought the black paired with the kraft, aqua, and coral was such a fun color combination. Along with the color challenge, there's a twist: Make it a Birthday card! So here's what the very talented JUGs design team did with my color choice.

Jugs #79 - Technique Week

Happy Saturday and welcome to another challenge with Just Us Girls!

It's Maria here this week with your technique challenge. I decided on the baby wipe technique for this week's challenge. This is so much fun to play around with. All you need is a baby wipe and some reinkers and you are set to fly! Check out this simple tutorial over at SplitcoastStampers HERE.

Here is some inspiration from the JUGS DT:
