Happy New Year - Just Us Girls Challenge

Happy New Year and welcome to our first Just Us Girls challenge for 2018!  Let's keep the first challenge simple and anything goes.

I picked this fun kit called Canvas Wishes from Unity Stamp Co.  These puffy flowers remind me a bit of fireworks so I used them in a New Years card.  Very simple with white embossing powder over grey cardstock and added a silver ribbon.

Just Us Girls Color Challenge

It's color challenge week at JUST US GIRLS!  I went with one more Christmas themed card using a sentiment from Unity Stamp Co and some awesome paper from Recollections.  I know there is a little more green in there than I would have liked based on our colors this week but I thin I had the other colors basically covered so I went with it because it is such nice paper.

Just Us GIrls Challenge

Welcome to Saturday and another Just Us Girls Color challenge! I've been MIA lately and haven't stamped much in the last month either. But I began a new business venture that I am excited about as a Stylist for Stella & Dot! It's a fantastic line of costume jewelry with 1/2 the line under $50. Anyhow, I realized that I haven't stamped in so long and thought my stamps were starting to think I was cheating on them with jewelry :-)

 This week we have a fantastic color challenge:

I used Unity Stamps on mine and unfortunately I had a tough time for some reason capturing a good photo but here it is:

Be sure to swing on by the Just Us Girls Design Team and leave some love for their fantastic projects!!
