Just Us Girls #718 - Time Out #259 Reminder

Hey there. Thanks for dropping by.

If you haven't heard, Just Us Girls and Time Out collaborated for a two week challenge. For more information follow the links to their blog posts. 

I have another card to inspire you to join this fun adventure.

These cute little parrots are from a new to me company called Marianne Design that I found at Frantic Stamper.  There are different ways you can add beaks and topknots to them.  I chose to cut from white cardstock and color with Distress Inks.  I did substitute the more cartoonish eyes on the parrot on the right with some from another bird die.  The embossed background was made by inking up the Spellbinders Fern folder and the smaller panel was cut with Honey Bee's Deckle Edge Rectangle and edged with the same ink. 

There is still plenty of time before the deadline to enter either challenge and you are automatically entered into the other one.  Two challenges at once.  How great is that!?

Time Out #259 - Just Us Girls Collaboration

I am excited about a special event that is going on at Time Out for this challenge.  We are collaborating with Just Us Girls and I happen to be on both Design Teams.  

It's Just Us Girls Word Week and I picked the word "Birds" so we could have a common theme for both challenges.  When you link up your card at Time Out you will automatically be linked to the Just Us Girls challenge.  

My card was made with Honey Bee's Spring Birds and Nest dies all cut in white and inked.  The background was lightly colored with Distress Ink. 

We are being sponsored by Waffle Flower and the winner of our challenge will receive a $25 store credit. 

 

The Design Team has some wonderful cards featuring birds for your inspiration.  You may also be inspired by the cards made by the Just Us Girls Design Team.  Be sure and check them out too.

Inspired by Friends

Although this blog post is entitled Inspired by Friends, it could also be called Amazed by Friends.  That is often the case when I see the creations of the friends who have joined me today in a collaborative post.  It all started when Bonnie sent some PinkFresh Dahlia Washi die cuts to me, Michele and Marcia.  We were to each make a card and post it today.  I can't wait to see how everyone used these beautiful images.  

You all know how difficult it is to take a photo with gold (or silver) foil so I took a number of them before I could get one that was decent. 

The foil is cut with the Nesting Rectangle Frames from WaffleFlower, and layered two high in the center and four on the outside.  The outside frame was attached to pale pink cardstock and the inner one to white, after adhering the flowers, and then the two put together.  A foiled sentiment from Poppystamps finished it off. 

Are you ready to see what my friends have done?  Click on their names and the link will take you to their blog post where you can oooh and aaah and be amazed like I'm sure I will be.  Thanks, Bonnie, for bringing us together for this day of fun and friendship and for inspiring me every day.
