Just Us Girls #119 Technique Challenge

Good morning! Lynn here today! It's Saturday and it's time to kick off another challenge here at Just Us Girls! When looking for techniques, I thought it would be fun to try something that encourages us to stretch the use of our stamps. So...I hopped on over to Splitcoast Stampers and found this tutorial for collage stamping. I love to layer my stamps in different ways. I hope you do too...myself and the other Just Us Girls Design Team members can't wait to see what you create!

Chic of the Week #118

Well y'all have done it again - we had good participation and awesome entries. I know we say this every week but it is SO hard to choose from so much beauty and diversity. We were tickled PINK with the projects y'all came up with from the simple sketch this week. We can't thank you enough for participating in our challenges and being such an inspiration to all of US girls as well! :-)

After a thorough review all the entries multiple times, we finally settled on this beauty for our chic of the week. This time the honor goes to.....

Carla Suto for this lovely card

We loved the warm, earthy colors in her DPs, the die cut frame is a delightful accent, Carla's coloring is just divine and she wrapped it all up with a beautiful bow and flower to boot!  Well done Carla and well done gals overall!

Carla please contact us for your badge. Meanwhile hope to see you all back on Saturday for a whole new challenge.

Wild Chic of the Week #117

Hi all! I had so much fun looking at all your felt creations this week! So many pretty creations...I spent nearly 45 minutes pondering this week's winner. I wish I could have chosen 10 winners this week!  But in the end, I chose this creation by Susie for a few reasons.

She created these snowmen for her grandson's felt storyboard.  Remember those?  I didn't think anyone used them anymore!  I think I love the story behind these little felt fellas just as much as I love them!  Congratulations to Susie!  Please contact me at lisajugs@roadrunner.com for your Chic of the Week badge!

I'd also like to share a few honorable mentions.

Lesley and Rudlis created gorgeous felt flowers on their red/black/white colored cards.

Dewi created an amazing clock face out of some felt.

Cheri's card was so gorgeous in her muted ivory colors and gorgeous layered felt flower.

Karli's large felt flower was a last minute add-on per her mom's request that had me lovin' it even more.

And Janine had the most colorful, fun card in the whole collection! 

Thanks so much to all of you for playing along in our Wild Card challenge!  Tomorrow Pam has the first challenge of 2012...a great sketch for all of you!  Hope to see you playing along with Just Us Girls!
