Chic of the Week- Challenge #220

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday! I would like to thank all of you who took time out of this ever so busy week to participate in my first challenge as a Jughead!

There were so many awesome entries but Melissa H's entry really caught my eye.

This card called to me with it's CAS design and use of the challenge colors. Also check out the sentiment, it was white embossed on brown card stock- kinda of a reverse blackboard technique- very cool.

Sending out a HUGE congrats to Melissa, please contact us for your "Chic of the Week" badge.

Don't forget to check out the new challenge tomorrow!

Just Us Girls #220 Color Challenge

Hi Everyone! 

Sue T. here with this weeks color challenge. I love reds and browns together especially at Christmas. I realize it is the last weekend before Christmas, but you might want to take a break from all the last minute shopping, baking and wrapping to try your hand at this challenge.  At the least, it may provide an extra card you might need for the holidays.

Just Us Girls #219 - Technique

Hi everyone, Sue V. here with my very first challenge as a JUG head.  Welcome to this week's Just Us Girls Technique Challenge.  For this week's challenge, I chose Faux Silk.  Splitcoaststampers has a great tutorial for this technique.  I love the soft look this gives to backgrounds.

Winner of Our One Layer Winter Wild Card Challenge

Happy Friday JUG friends!

It's time to announce the winner of the

  One Layer Winter Wild Card Challenge!

(say that 10 times fast)

First, let me just say that you all did an amazing job

with what I believe can be a difficult challenge!

One Layer cards are tough enough, and then I had to add the Winter Theme

and make it really tough on you, and you all made it look easy!

Without further delay...the Chic of the Week this time is...

JoAnn B.

I just thought JoAnn captured a beautiful wintery scene with 

so much detail.  She even used Molding Paste to create her falling snow.

GREAT job JoAnn and Congrats!

Contact me at wer4art@aol.com to claim your COW badge,

and remember winning puts you in the running as a possible Guest Designer!

Check back in tomorrow everyone because Maria has a wonderful

sketch this week that you won't want to miss!

Take care,

Nancy
