Hello everyone,

 We had some wonderful entries this week for our Color Challenge here at JUGS.  

I am sure you get tired of reading in blog land,

 "That I really had a difficult time choosing a winner," but it's the stinkin truth!!! 

 Pinky swear! LOL

So without further ado,

Our Chick of the week is....

JAN

with this fabulous piece of work!

I love DP, the ribbon, the flower, the stitching, and the

curled edge at the top of the card!

This card had so many eye catching elements!

Congratulations JAN!

Chic of the Week #192

Hi all!  Wow, did we ever have some fabulous entries this week using washi tape!  I really had a difficult time between a few of them (I'm just not saying that...I really did!), but had to settle on only one.  And that is this one by...

...Brenda!

 

I love how she so cleverly used the washi tape!  Congrats Brenda!  Please contact me at lisajugs@roadrunner.com for your JUGs badge!

 

 

And now we have to give away the washi tape from Modes4u!  I've used Random.org and came up with...

 

#4 Deanne

 

and

 

#6 Melisa Waldorf

 

Congratulations girls!  Please contact me at lisajugs@roadrunner.com and give me your mailing addresses so I can mail you your 3 rolls of washi tape!

 

Thanks again to all who participated!  Stop by tomorrow for our color challenge.  Nancy has a great combo for you!

 





Technique Challenge #192 and a Sponsor!

Hi everyone!  We have a fun technique challenge for you this week and a chance to win some free crafting supplies!  The challenge is to use washi tape and our sponsor is Modes4u.

Here is a little information about the company:

Modes4u is an online shop for cute stationery, fabrics, Bento lunch boxes, DIY clay sets, Re-Ment miniature toys and accessories, which are imported from Japan and the USA. The company based in Hong Kong was founded in 2007 by Managing Director Sandra Boch and always stocks several thousand kawaii products. Modes4u is an official San-X online retailer offering free international shipping for purchases over EUR 60 / US$78 / ₤ 54.  The online shop is especially active in the field of social media, having more than 60,000 Fans on Facebook, over 4,000 followers on Twitter and an English and German company blog.

While the company sells many different types of non-crafting items, they do sell lots of washi tape.  Here are some links to the product that they carry:

Washi tapes
Deco tapes

The fun news is that Modes4u has given us 6 rolls of washi tape to give away!  So we decided to randomly choose two (2) participants this week to each win 3 rolls of tape!  All you have to do is play along using washi tape.  Don't have any?  No problem!  Here are a couple of links demonstrating how you can make your own!

Faux Washi tape

 Custom Stamped Washi Tape

The JUGs design team is using washi tape from Modes4u.  Let's see their fabulous creations!
