Just Us Girls #836 - Word Week

I'm the host for Word Week at Just Us Girls and I have chosen "Water".


I've had to make a couple of other cards featuring water so I had to put my thinking cap on and come up with enough cards to cover them all.  For this one I used all die cuts.


I cut a panel with C9's Wavy Card Front die, then inked the various sections with the Lapis Lazuli set of Altenew Inks.  I tucked the boat from Spellbinders Set Sail under one of the cuts.  

What does the word water bring to your mind?  I hope you'll join our guest Betty Keefe and the Design Team by making a card for the challenge.

Color Hues #138

My card for Color Hues is nothing special but navy and teal plaid makes a great masculine card and I need more of those.


The plaid are the thick and thin dies from Concord and 9th and the stacked sentiment is from Penny Black. 

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Freshly Made Sketchesd #748

Verena is hosting Freshly Made Sketches and her sketch made me think of my Houseplants die set from Altenew.


The polka dot paper scrap was the jumping off point and I made the pot in matching gray with pink flowers and added a pink strip accent.  The background is the Subtle folder from SU and the sentiment is from Altenew's One-Go Birthday.

Just Us Girls #835 - Die Week

It's Die Week again at Just Us Girls with Vicki as our host.


I want to welcome our guest designer for this month, Betty Keefe at Created by BJK.  She and the rest of the Design Team have created wonderful cards to inspire you.  

My inspiration came from a friend's Cosmos Garden.



Mine are a little darker and I exchanged the stone wall for brick using Honey Bee's Rustic Brick Wall.  The Garden Cosmos are from Altenew, cut from their Vineyard Berry, Warm Sunshine and Mountain Pine cardstock.  The sentiment is from Spellbinders Just Add Cake.

I hope I see your card in our gallery.

Time Out #319 - Pick Two

It's a Pick Two challenge at Time Out and these are the words you can pick from to make your card.  


I went with CAS, monochrome, birthday and floral for my words.  


Daffodil Delight from Altenew was embossed on watercolor cardstock and painted with Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey Distress Ink.  The sentiment is a BetterPress.  

Newton's Nook is the sponsor for this challenge and the winner will receive a $25 store credit and an invitation to guest design.

The Design Team has chosen their own two words to base their cards on.  You may want to check them out for inspiration.
