Fuchsia with Hummingbird

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

This is my last week Guest Designing for Just Us Girls.

What a lovely team!  I've enjoyed being a part of it this month.

This week's challenge is to use any stencil.

I've used an Alex Syberia embossing folder and stencil to do this

very bright card.  After I had it done, I checked out fuchsia on Google

and see that I have reversed the dark and light pink.  LOL!  Too many birthdays!

This hummingbird doesn't seem to mind though.

Thanks so much to the JUGS team for such a warm welcome!

I hope you'll pull out your stencils and join this week's challenge at

JUST US GIRLS

Gull-tastic

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

These waves were left over from when I designed this card.

It wasn't the look I was aiming for, but hated to throw the pieces away.

When I revisited the pile of "didn't work", this seagull popped into my mind.

I think this will work for the Time Out Challenge #317

Now if I can just get it over there before the challenge closes!

Much Happiness

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Just a quick post today to slip into the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge.

I don't usually make square cards, but Jen T.'s sketch really cries out for it.

I have an embossed panel that's been patted with a white inkpad, matted

and placed on a subtle embossed background.

Super simple and quick.

Check out what the fabulous Design Team has done and let's take a

look around the gallery for even more inspiration.

Strut Your Stuff

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I've been having so much fun that I'm late with my Fun Friday post.

I've been stamping with friends and this is one of the cards we're doing.

We all get a kick out of these fun Unity Stamps.

Everybody appreciates it when they are quick and easy to color too.

I'm trying to get to all of you who sent me beautiful birthday cards and it's slow going.

on my blog, calls and texts made my birthday extra special.  Thank you.

I hope you have a fun weekend!
