Just Us Girls #223 - Technique

Welcome to this week's Just Us Girls Challenge

Sharyn here, I am your hostess for this week's technique challenge.  

This week is all about paper piecing.
 I have to tell you, that I love paper piecing! 

 I spent many hours, when I was younger, cutting out and playing with paper dolls.  

Paper piecing reminds me of those happy days! 

 If you have never paper pieced before, I am adding a link to a video at Gina K. Designs to help get you started.  I hope you will enjoy this fun 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.

Just Us Girls #214 - Technique Challenge

Hello JUGs fans!  This week is our technique week, and I've chosen a simple one:  Create a background of words.  I saw this technique done on this video from Jennifer McGuire, which you can look at to get more inspiration.  So break out all those single word stamps, full background word stamps, or whatever you can muster and create a background of words!

Let's see what our design team created as inspiration for you.

We are happy to announce our November Guest Designer;

Nancy Penir!
