Chic of the Week #303

 A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who particpated in our challenge this past week!  We loved looking at your inspired cards! It was difficult to choose only one winner. But, without further ado, I'd like to announce that Melissa is my Chic of the Week for her card below!  I love how the pattern of her card mimics the porch floor mat in the photo, but also includes the orange from the photo. Truly, an inspired creation! (Melissa also had two other amazing cards entered this week!)
Here's her blog:

and we'll get it right out to you!

Please return tomorrow! Maria is our host and it's WORD WEEK!
Until next time, Happy Stamping,
Cheryl

Just Us Girls #303-PHOTO WEEK

Hi everyone!  Thanks for coming by to take a peek at our challenge for this week!  Cheryl, your host, here for PHOTO week.  Here's  the large version of the photo I chose and that we hope inspires YOU to create something this week to share with all of us!

It's a beautiful summer porch photo full of light, plants, comfort and summer colors!  I would just love to relax here with a tall glass of iced tea and a good book! How about you? We can dream, can't we!  Well, instead I hope you can dream up something and use your creativity to make it!

Here is our Guest Designer; Linda Beeson

Here's what the design team has made to give you further inspiration!

Chic of the Week #302

Thanks so much to all who participated in our Color Week challenge.  Wow, what a great job you did with those gorgeous colors! I thoroughly enjoyed visiting all of your blogs to see your beautiful cards.  I have a confession to make.  I am not a CAS girl.  I am a layering kind of girl, but there was one card this week that knocked my socks off!  So my pick for Chic of the Week had to go to ..............................Hannelie!

I absolutely loved the crisp, clean look of her card, and the simple way she incorporated the challenge colors.  Also, in love with the "hi" die cut. Congratulations, Hannelie!  Please contact me at sharynp281@yahoo.com and I will get your Chic of the Week badge to you.

Remember to come back tomorrow to see the wonderful Photo Week challenge that Cheryl has planned for us.

Happy Stamping,

Sharyn

Chic of the Week #301

Hi everyone!  Thanks to all who participated in our "gold" challenge!  So many pretty entries and quite a few Christmas cards!  Either you were inspired by our gold challenge or you were celebrating Christmas in July!  Either way, they were all very pretty!

 

But I can only choose one Chic of the Week, and this time I chose this card by...

...Michelle Bala!  I just adore those gold leaves, not to mention the embossing paste texture in the background! 

 

Congratulations Michelle!  Please contact me at lisajugs@roadrunner.com for your Chic of the Week badge!

 

Please stop by tomorrow for our color challenge! 

 

Thanks again for playing with Just Us Girls!
