Just Us Girls #125 - Template/3D Challenge - Ribbons, Flowers, and Buttons, Oh My!

Hello JUGs fans! It's Lisa here with this week's template/3D challenge. I love ribbons and buttons and flowers, and so do my fellow JUGs girls. We use them on almost all of our creations! So the challenge this week is to use those buttons, flowers, and ribbons on your favorite template or 3D item. YOUR CREATION MUST BE A TEMPLATE OR 3D ITEM AND INCLUDE RIBBONS, FLOWERS, AND BUTTONS IN ORDER TO QUALIFY! It is a challenge, after all!

Let's see what the girls have as inspiration for you.

Chick of the WEEK! #123

Well BUST MY BUTTONS!
You guys were OUTRAGEOUS this week!

There was some, SERIOUSLY, outstanding button craft
out there! I'm positively twitching with button festooned
joy! Yipeeee! And because you ALL were so spectacular,
I, once again, was frustrated with the position of having
to choose just ONE Chick of the Week....

...So, I was compelled to highlight SIX of my FAVES!
{*Drool!*}

Joann
Archana
Michele
Lin
Sarah
Stacey

Mmmmm, hmmmmmm! Check 'em out, friends!
Masterful button craft, if I do say so! Woweeee!!!

But, as you know is our policy, only ONE gal can
obtain the coveted chick of the week badge...
And HERE, SHE is!


The lovely, and EVER so elegant, Lin,
won my crafty, button-hoarding heart
with this exquisite little number: I love it!

Lin, please contact me at mamacow@comcast.net
for your Chick of the Week badge and to give me
your mailing address so that I can SEND YOUR
PRIZE - a selection of buttons from

Buttons Galore & More!

Yipeeeeeee!

Thank you, ONE and ALL: I'm just BLOWN away
by your sensational efforts and gorgeous creations!
Special thanks, as well, to my AMAZING sisters in
design, the JUG HEADS! Holy Moly, girls -

YOU WERE FABULOUS! Thank you, SO much!

Hope you'll tune back in tomorrow for our NEXT
challenge! Our sweet and LOVELY Dana G. is
wowing us with some heavenly color work:
CAN'T WAIT!

Thanks, again!

Yee Haw!

Just Us Girls Challenge #123 - Technique

Howdy, sweet friends! I am POSITIVELY delighted to be
hostessing this week's technique challenge for Just Us Girls!
It's a FUN one, and there will be goodies to win....
Here's hoping you'll be pleasantly influenced to play along!

In case you don't know me, my name is Elise, and I LOVE BUTTONS!
~Squeeeeeee!~
I consider myself to be an incredibly lucky member of the design team
for a delightful company called, Buttons Galore & More!


I was SO pleased to enjoy their adorable booth at CHA
just a few short weeks ago. Inspired by, and LOVING their
samples, I decided to offer a bounty of their buttons
from my personal inventory, to one lucky participant
in this week's challenge. This will not be a random give-
away, as I will bestow this prize upon my choice
for Chick of the week!

Here's what I will be looking for:
Please display our Just Us Girls graphic and have our
challenge premise be the focus of your original creation.

Stamped, doodled or otherwise created with BUTTONS is
what I'm hoping to see... If you'd like some idea on how I
create original characters from buttons, please see this post,
here, at Buttons Galore & More!

And NOW..... {Drum roll, pu-lease!}

favorite regulars to Just Us Girls,

Thanks, SO much, for playing with us! Can't WAIT
to see what YOU do with this technique! Thanks, again!

Chic of the week #122

Good Morning!

I loved all the cards based off this weeks sketch unfortunately only one can be The Chic of the Week and it goes to Debbie Marcinkiewicz.  Stop back in tomorrow for an all new Technique challenge hosted by the very talented Elise!

Sketch Challenge #122

Good Morning!

Kathryn here this week with a sketch challenge for you all to play along with!  It is also the first challenge for February and that means we have a new guest designer with us and that is the very talented Cheri Weston .  Seeing Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow that means six more weeks of winter and  plenty more time for us to stay hunkered down in our craft rooms being crafty!  LOL!!!  So...I hope you have time to get busy and play along with us this week!  

The winner of last weeks goodies is Julia Moss!  Contact Maria for your prize!

For the month of February, we are delighted to welcome Cheri of Stamp' n Boomer as our Guest Designer!  Cheri has captured our Chic of the Week badge more than once here at Just Us Girls and we are so honored to have her creativity with us this month as February Guest Designer!  Welcome Cheri!
