'Tis The Season-JUGS 64





Good Morning!
This is it, this is your last weekend to get all the last minute Christmas shopping done!  Hows that for pressure Ladies!  I am NO where near done!  I truly do not know where the time went this year!  So you know where I'll be this weekend and to top it off I have not one gift wrapped yet!  I guess I have my work cut out for me!  LOL!!!

This week at Just Us Girls we have a color challenge for you brought to you by Andrea.  She has chosen these fabulous fun colors of light blue, white and green for us to work with.  I needed to make a few Baby's first Christmas cards for a few of my clients and the colors were perfect!  I came across this sweet little image from Mo's Pencil called Kai in the Snow that just screamed pick me!  Stop by the rest of the JUGS girls blogs and our fab guest designer Elise Durenberger's blog for more inspiration!  


 MERRY CHRISTMAS

JUGS #63

 Good Morning Ladies!

Two weeks til' Christmas and I am no where ready for it!  Oh well that seems to be how it is every year but some how I manage to pull it off!  LOL!
This week over at Just Us Girls our hostest is Maria and she has challenged us to the above Stained glass technique.  I have to say that I found this one challenging.  I hope you like it and don't forget to check out the rest of the teams blogs and our December guest designer Elise Durenberger for more inspiration!
I used Graphic 45 papers and over layed the whole front of my card (along with my sparkling swirls) with my clear cardstock.

Just Us Girls Sketch Challenge #62



Hello ladies!

Here we are the first week of December already!  I'm in full swing making Christmas cards and decorating the inside and outside of my home for the Christmas/Winter season!  I like to use a lot of snowmen because I can leave them out well into the new year.  They have a dual role they work well for Christmas and  the winter season.  Also I don't have to decorate twice or take them down right after the holiday!  Let's face it who has time???  Definitely not me.  LOL!!!

Today is also my youngest sons 14th Birthday!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN!!!  It seems like I just brought him home from the hospital.  He's already a few inches taller then me (5'8") crap!  No more baby is he!  I'm the tiny one  in the family now surrounded by all these giant boys of mine!  The only good thing is when I'm with them I feel very petite (I'm not but I like feeling that way)!  LOL!!!
This week over at the Just Us Girls challenge blog it  is a sketch challenge that Alicia has come up with.  I followed the sketch except in place of the banner  I used holly leaves and berries. I used some glitter paper I had purchased at my local craft shop.  It looks fabulous with the Graphic 45 papers.  The camera just doesn't do it justice!   With the new month upon us that means it's time for our new featured designer to join us and it is the very talented Elise Durenberger (Mamacow).  You must check out her blog she is very talented and a real hoot!  Also don't forget to check out the rest of the  JUGS teams projects for more inspiration!
