It's time for another Just Us Girls Challenge!

Here is what I came up with.  I used a sizzix christmas tree die to cute the tree out using some DCWV glitter paper.  I edged the tree using a gold marker.  The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co and the sleigh in the upper left corner is a stamp from Michael's dollar bin and it's embossed in gold.

Owl I want for Christmas....

TGIF!!  Happy Friday!!

I have an owl creation for the new challenge that starts today over at the CRAFTING STATION CHALLENGE!  The challenge is Winter Holiday / Snow!

I went with Christmas and used the Christmas Owl from the set called Owl for You.

I used various pattern papers.  I colored the little guy and used stickles on his hat and belt for some glittery shine.

I hope that you will come play along with the new challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!

Just Us Girls Color Week

Hey there is Color Week at Just Us Girls!  The colors are Red, turquoise, gold or yellow and any neutrals!

Here is what I came up with:

The cutie pie snowman is from Unity Stamp Co along with the sentiment. The gold I used is from Stampin Up stamping glitter - Champagne Glass.  The polka dots paper is from a pack I got at Hobby Lobby from the Paper Studio.  I used Spellbinders nestablities to cut out the circles. And the ribbon I had in my stash just randomly.

Carvings Monday!

HI there!

Ok this past week I did carve a new stamp but didn't have time to create something with it.  But I wanted to share with you the carving:

I might try and clean him up a bit around the edges.  I kind of like the lines on his tie and sleeves so I might leave those.  I will have to create something with him soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

Turkey Talk
