JUGS #108 - WildCard Challenge

Howdy friends! It's "E", here with a WILD CARD challenge for all-o-yous!

I'm SUPER excited to be hosting a WILDCARD challenge - because......
it's WILD! I love to get "out of the box" on occasion {!} and WILD CARD
time is the PERFECT excuse... Sooooooo, for your creative consideration,
I'm proud to share the work of some VERY talented and inspiring ladies...
You might know them as the JUGGETTES, the JugHeads, the Jugsters or
just by their given names.... {LOL!} But EITHER way, you are bound to
find SOMETHING of flawless inspiration in JUST your size, or area of creative
interest.... And THAT'S, really, what is soooooooo pleasant about challenge
work, to begin with! So before I prattle on, even further, let their WORK do
the talkin'... Ladies and Gentlemen, JUST US GIRLS!

ALSO - WHAT a privilege it's been to have had the AMAZING, Maureen,
with us this month! I'm SO delighted to have had her "selfishly" to
our selves ... {LOL!} No, seriously - WHAT an honor! Hope you
get a chance to visit her exquisite blog and masterful work -
WHAT a creative and delightful soul she is...



{Thanks, MAUREEN!}

And THANK you, to ALL of you! Your continued participation
and support mean soooooooo very much to us! I am SO looking
forward to seeing what you do with this challenge. I hope you'll
share some of your precious crafty time with us! Some of these
DT samples are so inspiring, I'm already planning to make MORE
altered and embellished frames to knock a few spots of my holiday
list, IYKWIM! {How's THAT for incentive!?!} Can't WAIT!

Chic of the Week #106

Once again you have done it girls - lots of spooktacular "Halloween" type entries and a few of you brave souls made cards that were not Halloween but still had those colors. It's always hard to pick a Chic of the Week but one card just stood out to me as an outstanding and unusual use of these colors.

Drum roll.......

This week's Chic of the Week goes this beauty...

Debbie M - Debbie you just blew us away with this one - the flower is to die for, the seam binding ribbon is gorgeous and the image is just adorable! A great job with our colors and in a most unusual way!  Debbie please contact us for your chic of the week badge. Thanks for a beautiful entry!

There were a few other projects that really caught the eye - so here's a few honorable mentions as well...

Audrey and her CUTE CUTE CUTE banner

Carla and her adorable Witch

Carol's cute round card

Thanks to EVERYONE for playing along this week. Awesome, spooky, wonderful cards girls! YOU ROCK!

JUGS# 105 Black Magic

Happy Fall Y'all! Andrea here with a brand new JUGS challenge… But first, BIG NEWS!!!

Let us share out newest secret with you - we chose our new Design Team members. YES memberS! Thanks to all who answered our DT call! Everyone had so much talent to share and decision-making was difficult. When it came down to the final vote tallies we had two girls that were within one vote of each other. SO Just Us Girls put our little heads together and we decided that more was better and so we have asked TWO gals to join our team.

So without further adieu, PLEASE join us in welcoming our TWO new design team girls *drum roll*...

Lynn Mangan and Vicki Dutcher!!!

Welcome ladies!!! We are ECSTATIC that you're now JUGheads!!!

Now it's time for this week's new technique challenge. We've got a fun technique for you to try - it's called Black Magic and you can find a link to the tutorial for it on SCS if you click HERE.

Let's see what lovely inspiration awaits, shall we?
