Just Us Girls #177 - Photo Inspiration

Hey yall!  Tangii here hostessing my VERY first challenge as a JUGHead :)  and of course I blew it with the graphic, as soon as my "boo boo" gets fixed I'll add it here.  So sorry!  Today is Photo Inspiration day so I thought I'd find a photo that reminded me of my stamp room... the colors are close :)  but I LOVE all of the textures in this picture.

The JUGHeads did an amazing job with the photo!  Check it out, then get yourself inky and linky up your own interpretation!

Chic of the Week #176

Thanks to everyone who played along this week.  Loved seeing your take on the colour combination.

This week's Chic of the Week is Sue Lelli with this gorgeous card.

I loved the wood paneling with the green frame around it and the background papers s gorgeous.  Congratulations, Sue.  Please e-mail me and at mritzen at shaw dot ca I'll send you your Chick of the Week badge.

I also want to make note of a few other cards that caught my attention.

Wanda had a fabulous flower on her card and I loved the tag.

Susie made a wonderful banner on her card.

Jami used an adorable image and did a fabulous job creating clouds in the background.  Loved her big coral bow too.

Cathy used a totally fun image and I loved her butterfly trail and scalloped edges.


Thanks to everyone for playing along!  Come back tomorrow for our new inspiration challenge hosted by Tangii.

Chic of the Week #175

Hi there everyone!  I'm here to announce the Chic of the Week for this week's masking technique challenge.  It took me a while because there were so many that I truly loved!  But in the end I chose this card by...

...Janet!  Don't you just love the pretty spring colors?  And those flowers just make me smile!  Congratulations Janet!  Please contact me at lisajugs@roadrunner.com to get your Chic of the Week badge.

I also wanted to give a shout out to these entries.

Sue W. created the most gorgeous background using a form of masking.

Sharon's kitty and the wall she created for it to sit on was just so cute!

Emily used the masking technique in a totally unique way to stitch up some hearts!

Thanks so much for playing with us this week!  Marisa has a gorgeous color combination for tomorrow's color challenge.  I hope you stop by and play along with us!  See you then!

Chic of the Week #173

Thank you to everyone who played along with this week's challenge.  I enjoyed looking at all your creations and your take on the inspiration picture.

After reviewing all the entries, this week's Chic of the Week is Donna with this wonderful card.

I love the classy "wedding feel" to her card, with the pearls, drapes/swirls and the single orange rose as an accent - all pulled from the picture.

Congratulations, Donna :)   Please e-mail me so I can forward you your Chic of the Week badge.

Hope to see you back tomorrow for our sketch challenge.
