Just Us Girls #95 - Use Fabric on Your Project

Hi everyone! It's Lisa here and it's so good to be hosting this week's Just Us GirlsWild Card challenge! It seems like forever since I've hosted! Well, this week I have a fabulous challenge for you...USE FABRIC ON YOUR PROJECT...RIBBON DOESN'T COUNT! You can make fabric flowers, use fabric as an accent, stamp on it, or do whatever else you'd like with fabric, but using ribbon only does not count. I stamped on my fabric and found several tutorials on the internet just by Googling "stamping on fabric". Let's see what the girls have done!

Christina MacLaren, July Featured Designer

Chic of the Week #94

Thanks so much for all of the bag challenge participants.  I loved seeing all the ways to fancy up a plain bag.  Inspiration was everywhere!

For my Chic of the Week selection I went with this gorgeous bag by Lenet!  I thought using a vintage photograph was a really unique way to decorate her gift bag.

Lenet, please email me at paperdaydream at aol dot com to get your winner's badge!

Thanks to everyone how participated and come on by tomorrow for another fabulous challenge!

Just Us Girls #94 the bag challenge!

Hey Just Us Girls friends! This week we are challenging everyone to decorate a gift bag. Those plain kraft (or white or veritable rainbow of colors) gift bag with or without the twine handles are a perfect canvas to strut your creative stuff!

So scavenge your gift wrap drawer, grab a plain gift bag and make some magic with us!

For your inspiration......

JUGS #93 - Color Challenge

Hi All!!! Welcome back for another JUGS challenge!!! 

Andrea here with colors that will hopefully get your mojo going!

First of all, thanks so much to everyone who made their own cardstock buttons and played along last week. All of the entries were absolutely GORGEOUS!

So I chose a sort of matrimony-inspired color scheme (see the beautiful color board from Pinterest to the left). So soft and pretty, especially with the grey.

So let's see what the fabulous DT has created!!!

Chic of the Week #92

WOW!  That's my impression after viewing all of your gorgeous, handmade cardstock buttons!!!  You put my little button to shame! LOL  There were so many fabulous creations, it was difficult to choose just one for Chic of the Week #92!  In the end, I found myself returning to Rosemary's buttons again and again.  I just love the vintage feel and how beautifully her finished embellishments turned out :]  Check out her gorgeous card showcasing those beautiful buttons!

Congratulations, Rosemary!  I'll email your Chic of the Week badge later today :]


Don't forget...there were several other projects that had me drooling...you don't want to miss these:

Just Us Girls Technique Challenge #92

Hi friends :]  Kristin here with this week's Technique challenge!  I decided to try my hand, and challenge all of you to try yours, at creating paper buttons!  The tutorials I've seen make them look soooo real, I couldn't resist.  Check out our very own Dana's tutorial that beautifully shares how to create your own vintage buttons over at Want2Scrap.  VERY cool stuff, folks!!  You can also view a tutorial over at SCS.


So...let's check out what our fab DT came up with this week!  Note that we have trimmed down our team a little lately...not a big deal, just summer break taking over for some of us :]  We'll all be back soon!!
