Just Us Girls #117 - Wildcard Using Felt

Happy New Year's Eve JUGs fans! This is the last challenge of 2011! We hope you had a good year. We here at JUGs had a great year...we had our 100th challenge and we reached over 1,000 followers! We couldn't have asked for more! We are looking forward to 2012!

This is the 5th week of the month, so that means we have a wildcard challenge...we pick any challenge we want! So I (Lisa) am challenging you to use felt on your creations.

We are saying farewell to our December Featured Designer, Lenet. She has done a fabulous job this month and we wish her well in 2012. Here is her fabulous creation.

Chic of the week #116

Hello!
This candle sleeve that Archana created with her quilling I just loved so much I had to choose her for Chic of the week!

Be sure to join us tomorrow for an all new challenge hosted by Lisa!

JUGS #116 3-D/Technique challenge

Hello!
This week at Just Us Girls I'm your hostess and I thought it would be fun to create a pillar type candle sleeve or holder with or without a Christmas theme. Most of us were in the holiday spirit and went that route. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and if you do have some "me" time you can play along with this weeks challenge.

Chic of the Week #115

Good morning! Wow, were you all inspired to make some gorgeous, gorgeous creations for this week's color challenge.  Loved seeing some non-Christmas cards and lots of you continuing to get your Christmas cards and presents complete!  I had a hard time choosing a favorite, but...Cheri's card was so inspiring! The texture on the poinsettia leaves was absolutely gorgeous and the background lace frame is stunning! Be sure to stop by her blog for more beautiful creations.

Cheri, please email me at lmangan@cinci.rr.com to pick up your Chic of the Week badge!

I couldn't just pop in though and only share one card with so many gorgeous entries, so here are some more amazing creations from this week:

• Gorgeous masking on this card by Aimes.
• Anni's beautiful use of distress inks on this card.
• A lovely CAS card by Sienjte.
• Amazing dimension by Archana here.
• Loving Lea's use of pearls here.

Thanks so much for playing along with us at Just Us Girls!  We wish you and your families a very Happy Hanukah and Merry Christmas!

Chic of the week #114

Good Morning!

It's Friday and another challenge has come to a close.  I loved all the center step cards I got to peek at this week but the one that kept drawing me back to gaze upon its beauty was this one from  Carla Suto.   So the  Chic of the Week goes to her.

Technique Challenge #114

Good Morning Ladies!
Kathryn here with a technique for you to try and it's called a center step card. It's a fun and easy technique to try for a change. Here is the link for a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. Now for a little inspiration check out what the rest of the Jugsters have come up with. Can't wait to see what you can create using this weeks technique!
