Chic of the Week #335

Good morning and hello Just Us Girls friends! I really enjoyed visiting your blogs and seeing all of your terrific entries for our color challenge! Thanks so much for playing along with us! 

I chose as Chic of the Week:

LYNNE!!!!

I just love that sweet bunny image, with it's big grin from scoring that huge egg, and she used our challenge colors perfectly!

Lynne, please contact me at cdring@comcast.net to get your Chic of the Week badge!

Thanks again to everyone who played along. Please join us tomorrow for PHOTO WEEK. Nancy has an amazing photo she's picked to be inspired by! See you then!


One other thing, it's with a heavy heart to say that this will be my last post at Just Us Girls. Life sometimes gets in the way and there are a lot of personal things going on in my life and my family's that require my attention. Once all the crazy settles down, I hope to get re-acquainted with my beloved craft room and make awesome stuff. :) Until then, stay crafty my friends! 

ETA: Lisa and the gals won't let me quit, so I'm just taking a sabbatical for a while. Woo Hoo!!

Just Us Girls #335 - Color Week

Hello crafty friends and welcome! Chris here, and I'm your hostess this week for Color Week! With Easter/Spring just around the corner, I thought some pretty pastel colors would be fun to work with.

Your challenge is to use pastel colors in PINK, YELLOW, and PURPLE!! Using light neutrals are welcome, but please only use these three colors on your card or project.

And now some inspiration from our Guest Designer for March:

Just Us Girls #334 - Trend Week

Hi all, Vicki here.  We are going to shake it up this week!  Between my Fuse tool,  and the sequins I ordered, making shakers is what I am all about - plus, it is a major  trend in blogland right now, that's for sure!

Check out what our amazing Guestie made!

Judy Woodland,  [Judy's Happy Place]

I am the mother of 2 grown children, and live in Northern Michigan with my awesome husband. My 2 grandsons are the loves of my life. I am driven to be creative, and have used many venues for this over the years. I knit, crochet, cross stitch, do beading, have done stained glass, and at the moment, am crazy about paper crafts. I just *heart* paper!! You can find me most days in my craft room.

Bobby Hagen, [Bits & Pieces]

​ I am honored to be joining the wonderful designers at Just Us Girls.   I have been a crafter forever but started my paper crafting journey with scrapbooking almost 20 years ago.  That evolved into card making and I started my blog in 2011 to enter challenges and share my cards with others.  Who knew I would find such a fabulous community of friends and fellow card makers that support and inspire me every day.

Check out what the rest of the Team made:
