Chic of the Week #190

Thank you to everyone who played along with this week's Inspiration Challenge!  I always enjoy seeing how one picture can inspire so many wonderful creations and showcase everyone's card making style and personality.

That being said, this week's winner is Betty with this lovely card: 

I love how she created her own cake with papers and added the ribbon in the middle to mimic the fluffy middle layer of the cake.

Congratulations, Betty!  Please e-mail me at mritzen @ shaw dot ca so I can send you your Chic of the Week badge for your blog.

Make sure to come back tomorrow for our monthly sketch challenge  hosted by the marvelous Elise :)

Just Us Girls #190

Hi all, Marisa here.  Welcome to Photo Inspiration week at Just Us Girls!  I am your hostess this week, and this image immediately grabbed my attention when I saw it on Pinterest.  I loved the colour combo, the mix of polka dots and chevrons, and the ruffles in the middle - not to mention the big flower on top.  Basically all of it LOL!  Lots of springboards for inspiration - hope you agree!  Here is a larger version to help you see it a bit better.

In addition, the Design Team wants to celebrate/give a shout out to Vicki as it was her birthday this past Wednesday!  We each created a birthday card using this week's challenge in honor of Vicki :)  Happy Birthday, Vicki!!   Love you lots!

Below are the cards the design team created for Vicki's birthday and for your inspiration.

Just Us Girls #187 - Sketch Challenge

Welcome to Jugs Sketch Challenge week!  Also National Scrapbook Day!

 Maria here to share this week's sketch:

So I was going to use my sketch and create a scrapbook layout with it but this week was super busy as we are remodeling our master bath.  Granted it's a small bathroom and we are having someone do it there were still lots going on.  So I didn't get to it.  However, I would LOVE to see folks turn it into a layout if you want.  

Now check out what the JUGS DT did this week:

Chic of the Week #186

Happy Friday Everyone!

I have the pleasure (or difficult job) of picking the Chic of the Week based on

my Photo Inspiration #186 from last week.  This was my
first time hosting and my first time ever
having the opportunity to pick the winner.

This was to difficult for me to do by myself.......so
I enlisted some help from my Hubby last night!
He is an Art teacher by the way, and I thought his opinion
 would be valid. LOL

So Our pick of the week is.......
Sharyn

 Congrats to you Sharyn!!

What a beautiful job you did!

 Please email me at

Wer4art@aol.com so I may send you your COTW badge.

I so appreciate everyone who participated in my first challenge
as Hostess here at JUST US GIRLS!

Trust me you all did a fabulous job!

I am sure some of you are regular participants, and I speak
on behalf of the other ladies on the team and we
so appreciate your constant support and we welcome
ALL of you to stay tuned tomorrow when .....

Maria comes along with a GREAT Sketch for you to try!

Enjoy your day,
Nancy
