JUGS - Just Us GirlS Challenge - Scrapbooking in Melbourne, Florida

Hey y'all!

Have you tried my friend Lisa Kind's JUGS challenges?  It's pretty cool 'cause they host a different type of challenge each week - sketch, color, templates....you get the idea.

This week it's a sketch challenge and I used it to vent a little about my unfortunate incarceration - subtly, of course!

The awesome little tag from the paper pack (CTMH's Notebook) afforded me the opportunity to circle the exact date of my layoff...and then at the bottom is my editorial comment - 'f-r-e-e-d-o-m'.  tee hee

I sliced up some Prima flowers I've had for eons.  This quick card took maybe 15 minutes to make, which is a record for me!

I'm having a blast doing these challenges....and lovin' the return of my mojo!  New Spellinders(TM) die templates are on the way.....ah, life is great!

Peace out,

Birdies and flourishes.....oh my!!! CTMH Scrapbooking in Melbourne, Florida

I don't know if I can wait till December 15 to tell you about this special paper with die-cuts and a stamp set, but I absolutely know that I cannot wait to show you this card that I made with it!  A friend of mine is on this JUGS challenge team (Just Us Girls - tee hee!!!) and this week's challenge is to use this color palette:

Pretty, right?  I used CTMH colors Autmn Teracotta, Sorbet and Twilight.  The Twilight is a little darker and not quite as bashful (tee hee), but I think it matches the vase on the table...right???  So here's my card:

I LOOVE this paper and cannot wait to offer it to you!  The birdie stamp, the flourish stamp and the entire alpha stamps are in the special!  Oh glorious day.  The die cuts - yep, they're in there.  Nice, nice, baby!!!

I'll have another post for you before Thanksgiving, unless Alan comes home early from Gatorland.

If I don't.....have a wonderful holiday!
