Just Us Girls Challenge #822 - Die Week

Hi All - It's Vicki here.  I have a fun announcement before getting to this week's challenge.  

I would like to announce our newest Team Member Denise Morgans!  We are very excited she is joining us.

Here is a little about her:

Hi everyone, my name is Denise, and I live in a small town in South Wales, UK.  I have been paper crafting for as long as I can remember and started my blog in 2008. I was lucky enough to take early retirement a few years ago so enjoy crafting even more now that I have more free time. Crafting keeps me sane and I love making anything involving paper [cards, tags, ATCs, etc]!  I am still pinching myself at being asked to join this amazing team, and I look forward to seeing all your beautiful creations.

Welcome Denise!

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!

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:

Chris Dring  - Crispy Creations

                      

Hi there! I'm Chris Dring and I'm a paper hoarder. Whew! So glad I got that

off my chest! LOL! I'm the new girl on the block here at Just Us Girls. I am

beyond excited to be a part of this design team! I got started in paper

crafting as a scrapbooker back in 2007, when my parents celebrated their

50th wedding anniversary. My brothers and sisters all celebrated with them

at a beach house, and I wanted to make them a keepsake to remember the

celebration. Forward a couple years later and I tried making my first card.

I was hooked and never looked back! I started my blog,

www.chrispyscreations.blogspot.com to share what I made and to be inspired

by others. I've made some fabulous bloggy friends and hope to make more as a

DT member of Just Us Girls!

 and 

Ina Gretchan - Little Bits of Craft

My name Is Ina. I live in Sunny Queensland Australia.

I am married and have 2 grown daughters and 4 grandchildren.

For a lot of my married life I was involved with breeding and showing Quarter Horses.

I started getting interested in digital scrapbooking and went on to the same with cards but it wasn't till I retired that my spare time started getting used up with paper and all things that go with it.

I love to spend my time gardening and scrapbooking but somehow my card making has taken over.

 I love the challenges our craft gives us and always try to learn from them.

We can't wait to see their sample creations!  Both Ladies will officially be starting this Saturday!  Please join us in welcoming them to the Team!
