Just Us Girls #143 - Wild Card

HI there!  Maria here with this week's Wild Card challenge!  With the 4th of July next week I thought it would be fun to have a challenge that can coincide with the holiday.  However, if you are not from the US please still play along and interpret the challenge in your own way!

The challenge is called Stars and Sparkle!  Take that as your inspiration and just go with it!

 Here are the Team's sample card for even more inspiration:

Chick of the Week #142

I had fun going through your creations from the inspiration photo!  I love all the different interpretations you all came up with!  It was a hard decision, but the winner I chose this week was.................... #13 Jan, with this bright, fun card;

I smiled at the red BBQ (I use to have one that color) and her border of flies [probably bees], but flies are always at a BBQ.

Congrats Jan!!  Please email me at vdutchr@cox.net to get your Chick of the Week badge!

Meanwhile, come back everyone tomorrow for a fun Wild Card Challenge from Maria!  See Ya!

Chic of the Week #140

Thanks to all who played along this week in the technique challenge.  There were some wonderful creations but as we know only one can be our Chic of the Week.

So this week the Chic of the Week is BRENDA TURNER- STAMP IT UP!

I just loved how cool this looks.  It really does look like a tire track and paired with the image it just popped out to me.

Congrats Brenda!!  

Be sure to swing on by tomorrow for a new challenge!

Chick of the Week #138

Well, we did okay for players with the new Inspiration Challenge.  For those of you that had problems uploading, I apologize.  We never did find out what the problem was and I even went to Mr. Linky himself!  Naturally, he had no problem linking up! Good grief.

Anyway, the cards were so fun to see what inspired you all.  The card that caught my eye was.....

Deanna Jean's

I loved the clean lines, layout and the way she used the colors and theme from the photo! Congrats Deanna! Please contact Lisa at lisajugs@roadrunner.com for your Chick of the Week badge! Thanks everyone for playing~ Pop back in tomorrow - Sketch time
