a Liitle Black Magic...please?

Good Saturday Morning Ladies!
We at Just Us Girls have a little Black Magic to share with you this fine morning courteous of the ever so talented Andrea.  She is challenging us to this fun technique called black magic and a tutorial can be found here if your not familiar with it.  I wasn't familiar with it at all but once I gave it a go it's rather addicting!  I couldn't find my good colored pencils from Stampin' up to save my soul so I picked up a cheap set of 24 pencils from Rose Art at Wally World and they worked just as well.
Here is my take on the technique.

I used my PTI Botanical Silhouettes stamp set for my card.

For all the deets and more inspiration head on over to the JUGS blog.

We also had a call for a new Design team member and we have not one but two new JUG Heads! 

Please stop by Lynn and Vicki's blogs and give them a warm welcome to the team!!! 

 Both these ladies are very talented and we can't wait for you to see their work!!! 

MTME Pretty Patterns sketch #30

    

Hello!

Here we are with another fun sketch from My Time Made Easy's Pretty Patterns challenge blog.  I love these digi papers from the Fresh Cut Collection 1 and thought I'd use the cake and sentiment from the digi stamp set On Display for this week.  I wanted to kinda keep it clean and simple atop the busy paper.  I like how it turned out. 

 Although when I asked the peanut gallery (my youngest son)  he said there was to much white.  Well...I hemmed and hawed over is he right or not???  LOL!!!  Then added some clear stickles to the cake!  For some reason it reminds me of a business card and I like it just the way it is! 

 I hope you can play along with us this week!

A Year in Review-Flapper Style

Hello,
Here I am back with one more project for My Time Made Easy.  It's our year in review where we use something from a previous release.  I've used some old and new for this project.  My template is called The Flapper.  This is a fun little treat box that goes together really fast.  I used some digi paper from the Chocolate Halloween digi pack along with a sentiment from the new digi  stamp set called Well Rounded.

My son asked me to make something that he could give to his girlfriend for Halloween and I thought this would be just perfect.  We filled it with mini Reese's Peanut Butter cups (her favorite and mine too)!!!  Yum! Yum!  I also made a little matching card to go with it.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the MTME design team has come up with.

Season's Greetings

Good Morning!

Here is another project I created using my new favorite template called  That's a Wrap from My Time Made Easy.  This time I used some new digi paper from the Mrs. Claus collection so that I could create a holiday set with this template.  I also made a card to go with it using a sentiment from Beautiful Baubles.  I brohght this to work to show the girls and a few of my customers and I now have several requests for these boxes!  Yikes!!!!... what have I done!  LOL!!!  Who wouldn't love to open one of these cute little boxes on Christmas???

Check out Monique and Debbie they have more goodies to share with you today!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

The Happiest of Holidays- Group Post

Good Morning!

Here I am again with another template to share with you today from the October release from My Time Made Easy.  This little template is called Topped Off and can be purchased today.  I am so not happy with my photos.  It looks so darn cute in person but I probably shouldn't have used a white fringe just because it doesn't show contrast in the photo to well!  I used my fur edging on the hat and also the cute little gloves.  I just love things to have alot of texture.  Probably because I am a touchy feely sorta person.  I filled this with a little baggie of home made hot chocolate mix.  

I made a coordinating card using the new Mrs. Claus digi papers along with the new stamp set called Beautiful Baubles.  This release is jammed packed with all kinds of goodies to get a jump start on your Christmas cards and gift boxes for sure!

How About a Pumpkin...Calendar page

Good Morning!
I probably say this each and every month but can you believe another month has flown by so quickly?  I for one can't believe it's October already!  It's such a pretty month with all the foliage and of course Halloween!  I think it's my favorite holiday to decorate for because I just love the rich colors of fall.  I just hate what comes afterwards...SNOW!!!

Here is my calendar page for October.  I just love making these every month, it's so much fun!  Check out the rest of the girls below to see what they've come up with for their calendar pages!!!  I for one can't wait to go have a peek!!!
