Just Us Girls #273 Photo Week

Hello Everyone,

Nancy here, and I have the honor of hosting the Last Challenge of 2014.

Can you believe that we are approaching the end of another year?

Where does the time go!  It's unbelievable isn't it?

I also would like to say THANK YOU to our new and or continuous 

faithful participants!  On behalf of the Just Us Girls Team I would like

 to say thanks for keeping us in your lives for yet another year!

 We sure do appreciate it!

Now that Christmas is behind us I thought

 it would be fun to lighten things up a little with a fun Inspiration photo!

I can't wait to see what inspiration you take from this cute photo!  

Will you be drawn to a baby theme like Vicki and I were or something

 totally different like the rest of the Design team did?  

The ladies did an amazing job!  

I would also like to say thanks and Farewell to our Guest Designer 

Lee Ann Barrett!  We so enjoyed having you with us Lee Ann!

Please keep in touch and play along again with us when you can

...you are very talented!

Here is a larger view of our inspiration photo.

Our JUGS Chic of the Week for #272 is ....

What a HECTIC week this has been - after all it's

CHRISTMAS!

Hope you all enjoyed the festivities.

Thanks to all those that managed to spare the time

to create a card for my first time as HOST.

I know it is the busiest time of the year.

So without further ado our

CHIC OF THE WEEK IS
NANCY in IOWA

 

 I love non traditional coloured Christmas cards mainly
because it is Summer here in Australia.
My favourite stamp just happens to be the poinsettia and when I saw
this card I thought it perfect for mass production especially
for posting. I also LOVE the stamp Nancy used and
coloured so beautifully. (Not my strong point)

so Nancy - CONGRATULATIONS

Please contact me at

imtoocrafty@gmail.com to arrange for me to send you our

Chic of the Week Badge.

Don't forget to check back tomorrow for our New Challenge.

Looking forward to seeing you there. Ina.

 


JUGS Challenge #272- Color Week

Hello Crafty Ones. Ina here for my first time as your Host.  I have chosen a Colour Challenge for you this week. Hope you like them as much as I do. When I saw this beautiful photo and awesome colours I knew it would be perfect.

I know this is the busiest time of the year and hope you get some time to play. If you haven't got all those Christmas cards done then maybe these colours will inspire you  to make an non traditional coloured one or maybe you have something else in mind like me.

Colours - Turquoise Purple Pink Neutrals

Can use all 5.

Chic of the Week #270

I am overwhelmed by the great response to this week's challenge!  I loved seeing all of the sparkle.  With so many amazing creations, it was really hard to pick a single winner, but after much thought and looking through all of the entries numerous times I finally came to a decision.  Our Chic of the Week for our Sparkle Challenge is SmilynStef!

I love her sparkly silver stripes against the black with the pops of red on the snowflakes and with the birds.  Congratulations SmilynStef!  Email me at:  qvande@hotmail.com so I can send you your Chic of the Week badge.  

Now for the random drawing for the Spellbinders Labels 9 and the Hero Arts inkpad in Red Royal using Truly Random Number Generator is #23!   Congratulations Darnell!  Email me your info so I can send your prize right out to you!

I want to thank everyone who played along this week with such a beautiful variety of gorgeous creations.

Just Us Girls #270 - Word Week

Hi, it's Sue and it's my turn to host this week's challenge.  This is Word Week and my word is "SPARKLE".  With Christmas just around the corner I am sure you will be able to find something that inspires you that Sparkles.  You can use an image that sparkles or add something sparkly to your creation.

Since Christmas is sneaking up on us, I would like to give one of you a present.  I recently discovered that I have 2 sets of Spellbinders Labels 9 dies and I just ordered a duplicate Hero Arts Red Royal ink pad, so I am going to do a random draw from all of the submissions for this week's challenge and that person will receive both of these.

 Our Guest Designer for the month of December - Lee Ann Barnett will be unable to join us this week, but we are looking forward to her joining us as soon as her computer is back up an running!
We have linked up her blog for you anyways, so that you may go and leave her some LOVE!

Now check out what the rest of the JUGS Design Team have come up with to Sparkle!

Chic of the Week #269

All I can say is WOW! The JUGheads were so impressed by the amount of players for our Anything Goes Challenge.   It turned out to be a super fun week.  [Sorry I am late with this post] because there were so many entries, it is no surprise that  I chose 2 winners! 

CHICS of the Week #269:

Susan #53 - I loved the layering and the vintage look.  Her bird tree is pretty cute too~

And of course, a card that always appeals to me is a pop of color against white - add in some texture, and well we have a 2nd winner; Cathy #114

CONGRATULATIONS Ladies!  Please contact me at vdutchr@cox.net for your COW Blog Badge!

See you tomorrow with another great WORD challenge!
