Just Us Girls #234 - Wild Card

Since we have five Friday's in March, this week's challenge is a Wild Card challenge and I get to host.   This week, our challenge is to make a "Tall and Skinny" card.  Dimensions can be 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" or 3 1/2" x 6".  Or you could go all our and do a 3 1/2" x 8" card which will fit in a regular business sized envelope.

If you want to browse a few Tall and Skinny sketches, you can head over to the Mojo Monday blog and look for the fourth sketch of each of the previous three months, or adapt any other sketch to fit the dimensions noted above.

Below are the wonderful cards the DT has created to give you lots of inspiration for this week's challenge.

Also,  I HUGE thanks to Calypso for being our Guest Designer this month!
It was wonderful having you with us and showcasing your talent!

that cute sentiment.

Just Us Girls #231 - Technique

Welcome to this week's Just Us Girls Challenge

Sharyn here with this week's Technique Challenge!  This time we are doing a Weathered Wood background.  I am adding a link for a video, if you have not tried this before.  It really is a very easy technique to do.  The video shows it done in browns, but I have changed mine up a little and used Springy colors.  Be creative and have fun with it!

Take a look at what the Design Team and our GD, Calypso, have come up with this week!
