Just Us Girls #753 - Word Week

Sue is our host for Word Week at Just Us Girls and this is what she chose

My friend Loll made a number of cards using the Immense Joy die from Penny Black and they were so creative and JOYous that I had to have the die.  I used it for my card today.


I had bought a few PB stamps recently when a gentleman was selling out his supply and while they were older products I didn't have them.  This darling elf was one of them.  He was stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Distress Inks.  The JOY was also watercolored. I plan to do a few more of these with different images.

The Design Team and our guest Jenn have cards they made expressing Joy.  Please check them out and then make a card for our challenge.  We'd love to see your card in our gallery.

That big Joy die is fun to use and I love how you place that adorable elf in the O. I was inspired to get it also with so many lovely cards on Pinterest, especially Michele's and Marcia's. :)

This adorable elf and JOY die were meant for each other! I love how you filled in the O and can't wait to see more.

Your little elf in the "O" is adorable Bobby! This is a great die-cut that's fun to use. So awesome you got some good deals on used Penny Black. The great thing about PB is that nothing retires. :) xx
