Chic of the Week #149

Hi everyone! It was so fun to see everyone using up their ribbon scraps this week! And there were a few VERY creative uses of those ribbons! Some made me swoon, some made me think "why didn't I think of that?", and some made me smile. The winner this week made me smile from ear to ear because she was "just clowining around"! Take a look at this cute and clever card by

 Marlene Goulder.

So did it make you smile too?  I hope so!  Congratulations Marlene!  Please contact me at lisajugs@roadrunner.com to get your Chic of the Week badge!

Thanks to everyone that played this week!  Come back tomorrow for another fabulous color challenge from Elise!

Just Us Girls #149 - Technique Challenge

Hi JUGs fans!  Lisa here with this week's technique challenge.  I was looking at my colorful jar of ribbon scraps and thought I should start using them up more.  So this week's challenge is to use up those ribbon scraps!  I know you all have some, so let's start finding some creative ways to use them up!  Let's see what the team did with their ribbon scraps.

 First up is our August Guest Designer, Jennifer Wills.  She actually created two cards this week using up her ribbon scraps.  Here's the first little cutie.

And here is card #2!  Both baby cards using her ribbon creatively.

Now for the rest of the team.

Chick of the Week #147

Oh my but you all were so beautifully inspired by the photo this week.  I had a tough time picking the COTW!  However, it had to be done.... so the Chick of the Week for #147 is:

#22 Andrea from EnchantINK with this card:

Her use of cut out vellum and the image below was the perfect effect for a sympathy card.
Congrats Andrea -- please contact me at vdutchr@cox.net to get your COTW Badge!

Tomorrow we have an amazing sketch challenge for you!  Be sure and stop by to check it out!

Thanks for playing everyone -
